Summary
Bernie Sanders condemned Trump’s attempts to dissolve federal agencies and defy court orders, calling it a constitutional crisis pushing the U.S. toward authoritarianism.
On his “Fight Oligarchy” tour, Sanders criticized Democrats for lacking grassroots support and caving to GOP policies, urging more militancy in Congress.
He blamed the party’s decline on reliance on wealthy donors and neglect of working-class issues.
Despite record-low approval for Democrats, Sanders noted rising interest in his populist agenda and praised progressive leaders like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The Clinton’s talked trump into running…
He’s the “controlled opposition” because they needed the worst person possible to make people willing to vote for uncharismatic neoliberals like Hillary, Biden, and Harris.
The problem is for 30 years neoliberals ran the dnc

That changed about a month ago.
I’ll believe it when I see something change.
You’ve seen something change. They aren’t even pretending to be liberals anymore, neo or otherwise.
They needed people competent at what they do in power every now and then to pave the way to the bank and then a bunch of morons in power to open the vault doors for them.
All in time for the democrats to run another empty (pant)suit in 2028. Rinse. Repeat.
