In a recent interview, Bernie Sanders unveiled his perspective on engaging politically as independents, especially for those disillusioned with the Democratic Party. Despite his long association with the party, he considers it corrupted by wealthy donors and failing to prioritize economic issues. The tour with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez aims not to rally support for the party but to inspire individuals to run independently, even though this approach may risk potential alienation of loyal Democratic supporters and lead to a loss of influence in the political process.
