On Wednesday Nov. 6 Senator Bernie Sanders said the democrats have ”abandoned working class people” among other things. (The Hill – Sanders: Democratic Party ‘has abandoned working class people’) And he’s correct, but it’s much more than that.
- In 2002 we told the democrats not to vote for war in Iraq, and they did anyway
- Since 2009 when the minimum wage was increased to $7.25 we have asked them to raise it again and they refused, but they tried to raise their own pay every year since 2009
- In 2010 we told the democrats we wanted universal healthcare, and they gave us mandatory privatized health insurance
- In 2016 we told them we wanted Bernie Sanders, they gave us Hillary clinton
- In 2020 we told them we again wanted Bernie Sanders, they gave us Joe Biden
- In 2021 we asked Nancy Pelosi to stop insider trading within congress, she refused even through the practice is illegal for everyone else
- Since 2023 we have begged democrats to stop the genocide in palestine
- In 2024 Joe Biden refused to honor his pledge to be a one term president and then stepped down when it was to late for a primary and they gave us Kamala Harris, the primary candidate who did so poorly in 2020 that she had to drop out before a single primary vote was cast
I could make a list that would go on and on but you get the point. They don’t listen to the voters. The democrats spend their time enriching themselves and promoting their own insiders and then when the people turn on them and don’t vote for them they blame the people and don’t look at what they could do differently to try and win us back. But remember “this is the most important election of our lifetime” and “democracy is on the line” and we know this, and we’ve been trying to tell you this and force you to change. But somehow it’s our fault.
These people are entrenched in Washington, and don’t actually care about the people. I’m 40 years old and there are people in our government who were there before I was born, hell Joe Biden won his first senatorial seat in 1972 that’s 52 years. The democratic party is nothing but a bunch of self interested fatcats who are out of touch and only care about making money and holding on to power.
So Senator Sanders, the democrats didn’t just abandon the working class, they abandoned the entire electorate. And now they didn’t just lose this election, they didn’t just lose the white house, the senate, and at the time of writing most likely the house, they lost the country. Project 2025 will be enacted and as then candidate trump stated “vote for me and you’ll never have to vote again” and so the democrats have lost for the final time, because once the republicans are sworn in I truly believe they aren’t leaving.
Even if the democrats get the message this time and start to course correct, and I highly doubt they will, it’s too late. Even if we have another election I expect it to look more like what they have in russia than anything we’ve seen before.
