Bernie Sanders critiques Trumpism, claiming it superficially acknowledges the struggles of working-class Americans while failing to provide proper solutions. He discusses the alarming statistic that 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck while the wealthy prosper. Sanders emphasizes the ongoing class war waged by the elite and highlights the moral clarity in his message, in stark contrast to the resignation seen in mainstream Democratic responses. He reflects on his earlier presidential campaigns, hinting at the missed opportunity for profound change and the disappointment with how the party has dealt with these issues.
In a phoney, hypocritical way, Trump has tapped into the reality that the system in America is not working for working-class people. His solutions will only make a bad situation worse.
In America, the very richest people are doing phenomenally well, while 60% of our people live paycheck to paycheck. It’s exhilarating to hear Sanders talk about this with passion.
There is a class war going on. The people on top are waging that war. It’s rare for politicians to name the class struggle, but I do.
His moral clarity is a relief amidst the cynicism of the Democratic party’s response to Trump. He speaks to the forgotten issues of the working class.
