Summary

Bernie Sanders criticizes the Democratic Party for neglecting the working class, leading to their recent election losses.

He highlights issues like economic inequality, job displacement, healthcare costs, and foreign policy as key concerns for the American people.

Sanders questions whether the Democratic leadership will address these issues or remain beholden to big money interests.

So the working class had to be specifically told

  • the democrats support unions
  • the democrats support breaking up monopolies
  • the cost of living is a complex issue with multiple causes that will take a very careful and calculated collection of regulations regarding home ownership, rent, taxes, and it’s not going to work for everyone, and it’s not going to happen overnight
  • supporting and expanding social welfare programs helps everyone

What are they expecting? The Republicans will be able to write a law saying Netflix will be cheaper and have no ads?
