"Bernie Sanders says Democrats are failing: ‘The party has turned its back on the working class’ "
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...ers-democrats-failing-working-class-interview
"Senator Bernie Sanders has called on Democrats to make “a major course correction” that focuses on fighting for America’s working class and standing up to “powerful corporate interests” because the Democrats’ legislative agenda is stalled and their party faces tough prospects in this November’s elections."
Seriously, and what has the seditious repuke insurgency of insurrection and tRump ever done to serve the best interests of the working-class other than preying on working class with huge tax hikes while giving their greedy and seditious special interest groups those juicy tax breaks for the working and middle class to take up the slack at offsetting this repuke generated grand larceny?
How the GOP blew its chance at a 2022 working-class coalition in just 10 hours, 43 minutes
The window for Republicans to create a multiracial working-class party closed this weekend when 49 senators nixed COVID-19 aid.
It was less than two weeks ago that Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a past and future presidential hopeful for the Republican Party, stood before an annual confab of conservative fanatics and proclaimed he could see the future of the Grand Old Party. In Orlando, a stone’s throw from Walt Disney’s Fantasyland, Cruz promised CPAC that the GOP will be “the party of steel workers and construction workers and pipeline workers and taxi cabdrivers and cops and firefighters and waiters and waitresses and the men and women with calluses on their hands who are working for this country.”
Yet on Saturday afternoon, Cruz and 48 of his Republican colleagues raised their uncalloused, millionaire hands and flipped a giant middle finger to the American middle class who could have returned their party to power in Congress in 2022. In unanimously — and futilely — opposing the Democrats’ 50-49 passage of the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill that will likely be signed by President Joe Biden later this week, Cruz and his fellow GOPers went on the record opposing $1,400 checks for struggling taxi drivers, expanded jobless benefits for waiters and waitresses whose jobs were obliterated by the pandemic, and local aid to stop the feared layoffs of cops and firefighters."
