Bernie Sanders: We Need More Working-Class Candidates to Challenge Both Parties
Briefly

Sanders argued that Democrats suffered politically because they ran a campaign focused on "protecting the status quo and tinkering around the edges," contrasting it with Trump's focus on change.
He expressed doubt about the Democratic leadership's willingness to learn from their defeat, mentioning their ties to billionaires and corporate interests that influence their campaign funding.
Sanders speculated about building a multi-racial, multi-generational working-class movement, suggesting the need to challenge corporate-aligned candidates from both major parties.
Despite recognizing the threat Republicans pose, Sanders emphasized that they successfully campaigned on radical change, leaving Democrats at a disadvantage.
