    If Democratic nominee Joe Biden wins the November 3 election, Meyers then asked, what should Biden do to "bring the Democratic Party back to serving the working people in this country?"

    "I think it is fair to say that in many ways the Democratic Party has become a party of the coastal elites, folks who have a lot of money, upper-middle-class people who are good people, who believe in social justice in many respects," Sanders responded. "But I think for many, many years the Democratic Party has not paid the kind of attention to working-class needs that they should've."

    That's one hell of a non-answer.

    "If the Democratic Party does not stand firmly for working families and have the courage to take on the drug companies and the insurance companies and the big money interests, shame on them," Sanders said

    Sweet old man from Vermont is about to get rolled again. sigh

      If by shame on them you mean we should strip down members of the democratic party and have them walk through town squares while people throw shit at them and a nun rings a bell, then yes, shame on them.

          The chair of a minority party that lost an election in a landslide does not wield power the way you think it does.

            I meant like he was the chair of the Labour Party and he let the libs run over him with horseshit accusations of antisemitism, and as the party chair he didn't purge Labour like Starmer is. He had more power than Bernie ever did

      C’mon Bernie, you don’t say they’re all good people, the line is “and some, I assume, are good people”
