Who Actually Runs the US Government? - Bernie Sanders - #1010
Summary
Bernie Sanders is a US Senator, former presidential candidate, political activist and an author.
What happened to the Democratic Party? After a brutal defeat to Trump in 2024, the Left looks lost, divided, leaderless, and unsure of its future. Bernie Sanders breaks down what went wrong, how Democrats are trying to recover, and whether they’ve learned from their mistakes or are doubling down on them, repeating the very ideas that cost them the election.
Expect to learn what the future of the democratic party could look like, Bernie’s thoughts on Kamala’s presidential run in 2024, how much of an own goal identity politics was for the Democrats, why the Democratic party turned their back to the working class, how the Democrats can fix their messaging to men and young men after abandoning them completely, if ICE should be abolished, how worried Bernie and the Left is about the birth rate crisis and much more…
