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.

      because liberals/the left are not a unified party.

      Its 33 different parties in a trenchcoat, unified only by their opposition to the insanity coming out of the right wing.

        The left and liberals are not even close to each other on the political scale. Liberals share more ideology with Republicans than they do leftists.

          This one is fun because Republicans told us this and now liberals vote Republican. I love the new world. We do their work for them. They’ve weaponized our autism

        Cool, so we’re fucked then. It applies to the right as well but they make it work. But the left just comes up with excuses why we don’t even like each other

          Yes, thats literally what I said, and totally not a projection of your own defeatism which is the actual problem.
