That seems a logical condition, which makes it all the more baffling that anyone listens to the daffy old Bolshevik from Vermont,
Bernie Sanders...The
(net worth, $15 million) when it comes this issue. But listen, they do, to a daffy old guy who, after failing as a carpenter, entered politics, stayed in politics, and grew rich off of politics. CNN
...formerly the
Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
's Dana Bash listens to him:
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., called out former Vice President Kamala Harris
former senatrix from California, 2020 Dem presidential hopeful and ultimately Joe Biden's intended successor
and her campaign on Sunday for being influenced by wealthy people in 2024 and failing to speak to working families.
CNN's "State of the Union" host Dana Bash pressed Sanders on a statement he made on one of his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour stops about the former vice president.
Bash played a clip of Sanders telling the crowd, "One of the reasons, in my view, that Kamala Harris lost this election is she had too many billionaires telling her not to speak up for the working-class of this country."
The CNN host reacted to the clip and said, "ouch."
Let's be honest, there were a million reasons Kamala Harris lost this (2024) election, and her having too many billionaires advising her wasn't in the top ten of those reasons - or the top 500. She lost, primarily, because her personality is abrasive and grating, her cackling laugh is off-putting, she has all of the charm and charisma of a carbuncle, and in all candor, she's not terribly smart. She ran one of the worst presidential campaigns in history, and she was up against a guy who actually did appeal to the working class - by promising jobs, by promising to keep boys off working class people's daughters' sports teams and out of their locker rooms, by promising cheaper gasoline, and by promising to get millions of illegal aliens out of our country - and he's following through.
