In reply to the discussion: Why isn't Bernie telling Republicans what they need to do? [View all]

Constant criticism about Dems not appealing to the working class shows how ancient he is. He needs to come to grips that his non college educated working class are the cult MAGA. This is not because Biden and Dems have not done everything for this class. On the other hand, the so called college educated elite millionaires he constantly gripes about have become more democratic than ever. These Dems do not want tax cuts for the rich. They are concerned about deficits.
Dems have to make an effort to find a language to talk about working class not voting against their interests. Why don't Bernie do that more? Does he have an organization to focus solely on that?

I always find it interesting when a non-Democrat presumes to tell actual Democrats and the Democratic Party

If all his supporters had voted for Clinton in 2016, we wouldn't have trump now and would control Supreme Court.

Can you prove it's not true? I'm convinced of it mainly because Sanders, Warren, Reich, etc., criticized Obama/Clinton

Bernie attracted a lot of republicans, right-leaning independents, and far-lefties to vote for him.

Perhaps he has. Perhaps he has no control over Tulsi, who managed to betray everyone's expectations of her.

Repeating it over and over again doesn't make your point of view any more valid.

Sadly, Bernie is a scold, & the people he scolds are Democrats because we try to live up to our ideals & come short

What makes you think that he isn't? Bernie speaks to everyone about the issues and policies that are critical

Why ask anyone here? Why not ask him directly? He's the only that can provide that explanation.
