It remains crushing among the prominent Democrats in America. The Clintons, Obama, Pelosi – you don’t hear them about Trump’s brutal attacks on their match and on their former leader Joe Biden he dared to call “the worst president ever”. The only one who makes himself heard is, is Good, very old (83) Bernie Sanders.
Sanders is a senator for Vermont and an independent politician, who feels connected to the Democrats and also participated twice in the democratic primaries for the presidency; He lost to Hillary Clinton (2016) and Biden (2020).
I am always curious about his judgment because he does not have a magazine. He is still fierce in the debate, including through his own website. You could call him the left -wing conscience of American politics; Always concerned that government measures are at the expense of the vulnerable groups, convinced opponent of the oligarchy he already saw in the America of before Trump.
He constantly warned of the advance of the super rich who buy their influence in politics and the media. And see how he was right now that Elon Musk has become Trump’s unofficial right hand.
What does ‘Bernie’, as I call him a little too amicable in my inner monologues, of the political developments in his homeland – to start with the defeat of Kamala Harris last year? He then called it in an initial reaction “no surprise that the Democratic party that has left the working class is now being abandoned by that working class.”
He added: “Will the major financial interests and the well -paid consultants who control the Democratic Party will learn anything from this disastrous campaign? Will they understand the pain and political alienation that experience tens of millions of Americans? Do they have any idea how we can tackle the growing power of the oligarchy that has so much economic and political power? Probably not. “
On Trump’s ‘State of the Union’, Sanders now responds to social media with a razor -sharp speech. “We don’t move in the direction of an oligarchy,” he notes, “we are already living in an oligarchy.” He points to Trump’s wealthy friends, triumphantly present at his inauguration. “They don’t hide it. The Trump government is a government of the billionaire class, due to the billionaire class and for the billionaire class. “
He notes that Trump did not go anywhere about the real problems of his country, such as the great poverty of many and inadequate health care. Yet he concludes optimism with a touch. Those oligarchs, no matter how powerful, can be defeated, he thinks. “As long as we unite and do not let ourselves play against each other based on skin color, origin, religion or sexual preference. If we stand for an agenda that works for many and not for a few – then nothing in the world can stop us. ” His last words: “We can win. We will win. Let’s Go Forward Together. ”
It is a form of optimism that smells like wishing, but it is good that there are still politicians who want to propagate it. Who will be the Dutch Bernie Sanders? Maybe he can beat the Dutch Trump.
