Summary
Sen. Bernie Sanders is touring Iowa and Nebraska to rally against “the oligarchy,” aiming to energize progressives rather than launch a 2028 presidential bid.
At 83, he seeks to shape the Democratic Party’s future, arguing it lost in 2024 by neglecting working-class voters.
He hopes to influence budget battles and the 2026 midterms, targeting GOP lawmakers in battleground districts.
With Democrats lacking clear leadership, Sanders’ prominence and focus on economic inequality could define the party’s direction in the Trump-Musk era.
Democrats as in the DNC party, who in their corporate interests refuses to promote and push for candidates that have fought for the people.
Also Bernie is an independent who works closely with democrats, because unfortunately we’re essentially stuck with a two party system.
That corporate wing of the party, the clintonites, etc, are losing power.
The writing on the wall can’t be any more clear than it is right now.
In 2016, 2020, and 2024, they could still argue that people wanted a more middle ground. That ship is sailed.
