Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders is intensifying his fight against U.S. oligarchy, targeting wealthy individuals like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg.

Sanders argues that these billionaires manipulate the global economy, influence elections, and control the government, hindering democracy and exacerbating global inequality.

He believes this issue is crucial, impacting various aspects of society, including climate change, healthcare, worker protections, and poverty.

      There’s nothing he can be to become president. Democrat was the only shot he ever had.

      And the democrats failed all of us. Reason, and the appearance of hope has failed. All that’s left is reality, and the further rapid erosion of our systems under increasingly corrupt leadership that no longer feels that they should hide their indescretions.

      Bernie isn’t a Democrat, he’s a registered independent who caucuses with the Democrats. That’s why the DNC hates him.

        I keep seeing people call him a Democrat. It’s so annoying. Like this guy managed to get elected as an independent to the US Senate, a major accomplishment, because of his hard work and uncompromising values. Calling him a Democrat is insulting.

      He is independent. Literally not a democrat.

        American “Libertarians” have ruined the word. He’d make a swell libertarian socialist.
