    Bernie Sanders calls for a reckoning in the Democratic Party

    Vaseline Posted on

    Independent Senator Bernie Sanders did not mince his words in a scathing statement on Wednesday.

    “It shouldn’t be a huge surprise that a Democratic Party that has failed the working class finds that the working class has failed them,” said Sanders, Vermont’s senior senator.

    “First it was the white working class, and now it’s also Latino and black workers,” Sanders said.

    Sanders was re-elected for a fourth term on Tuesday. He cited wealth inequality, declining U.S. living standards, a lack of full health care guarantees and support for Israel’s recent military campaigns as issues Democrats should focus on. Sanders’ 2016 presidential bid was a key factor in pushing the dialogue within the Democratic party to the left.

    Sanders has built his political career outside – and often criticized – the Democratic Party, but he caucuses with Democrats in the Senate.
