Bernie Sanders shared his disappointment in the election results that deemed Donald Trump the next president of the United States yesterday (November 8).
The one-time Democratic candidate’s initial statement, released to CNN through one of his top advisors today (November 9), was, “we have nothing polite to say right now.”
As the day went on and the reality of the election set in, Sanders released a full statement expressing his thoughts on how Trump captured the nation’s attention and votes.
“Donald Trump tapped into the anger of a declining middle class that is sick and tired of establishment economics, establishment politics and the establishment media,” Sanders said, according to the Eagle-Tribune. “People are tired of working longer hours for lower wages, of seeing decent paying jobs go to China and other low-wage countries, of billionaires not paying any federal income taxes and of not being able to afford a college education for their kids — all while the very rich become much richer.”
“To the degree that Mr. Trump is serious about pursuing policies that improve the lives of working families in this country, I and other progressives are prepared to work with him,” the Vermont senator said. “To the degree that he pursues racist, sexist, xenophobic and anti-environment policies, we will vigorously oppose him.”
In his run for president, Sanders got a major endorsement from Killer Mike. After Clinton was named the Democratic candidate over Sanders to oppose Trump, the Run the Jewels rapper said he wouldn’t be voting for either party.
murica, murica you already created monsters. the whole world hates you. fall of murica coming soonish… poor people worldwide getin’ radical and aggressive.
Do you really think this is something new? The reason Trump won is because all the people who oppose him, like you, do nothing but hide in the shadows anonymously, da mnosta, and hurl your troll comments. Meanwhile, they run you over time and time again. You are the loser, da monsta, and your lazy feedback shows that you and your kind will stay down until you choose to stop complaining and fight. But your kind never is, so you just keep losing with the hope of some uprising being done by someone else. And that never happens, so move on to your next troll comment and enjoy your view from the bottom.
Get as radical and aggressive as you want, you’re still weak af and rely on US more than you realize.
At the end of the day, this all falls on the DNC and the media pushing her. You pushed Hillary as the candidate knowing that Trump was the likely Republican nominee. You didn’t pay attention to people outside of your little bubble, that people were pissed off at the establishment, and were leaning towards a populist vote. You didn’t give Bernie the time of day, even though you knew Bernie was head and shoulders more likely to beat Drumpf, but you still pushed Hillary.
If you have angry Americans siding with a populist, you need to give them another populist choice….but instead you give them the most establish candidate you could have possibly chosen.
So DNC, and mainstream media, this falls on you.
Fuck Trump!
Bernie is the realest white guy in politics , im surprise he wasnt born black
he still a crakkka…
Shaniqa,
“I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.”
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
“I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of “interposition” and “nullification” — one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.”
Who said it?
I don’t know. Probably some crakkka.
Or maybe, if the skin color is all you see and all you care about, you missed the whole entire point.
No,Ron Paul was, but the media, Democrats and Republicans made him out to be a kook and everybody listened instead of doing they’re own research, we could’ve been electing him to his second term but instead we have this
maezfkd, Bernie was the Ron Paul of the left. No surprise, they worked together a lot even when they disagreed, they were the two outcasts in a whole Congress full of criminals.
I agree, but Bernie sold-out and backed hillary when hillary and the DNC rigged the primaries against him. Ron Paul never did that, he stuck to his beliefs and basically told the establishment to fuck off. Bernie wish he had the integrity Ron Paul does.
what is wrong if a man in his country wants other people to stay in their country to make their country great? when did encouraging people to find peace in other peoples country? i tell you all that if you stay in your country no matter what you’re he realest of all among those who left their father land and think they will be all welcome in other mans land when even where you’re coming from some of your family members don’t like you. my advice to all you unbelievers and greener pasture searchers stay in your country and protest against your government and give your kids a better land in your father land n not another mans land. let your kids know their linage please stop these twist please.
America gets the president they deserve because at the end of the day is a racist and full of hate country
when i look at the pic above i think that it could have been a lot worse lol
