Bernie's policies? Was he right all along? [View all]

I know a lot here may not want to listen to this, but please listen with an open mind. Remove the "Bernie" tag and just listen to his policies. The democratic party needs to change, and change big time. We cannot continue as we have in the past. If Kamala couldn't do it, there's a huge red flag there. She should have won hands down. This link is amazing. Bringing the working class together is the only way to kill this fascism. Please listen. There's a lot of good stuff in here. The oligarchy is here. We must stop it.
