“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” Sanders said.

“First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.”

“Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign?” Sanders asked.

“Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing? Do they have any ideas as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful Oligarchy which has so much economic and political power? Probably not.”

    Blaming the poor is a cool and fun take. If you willing want to blame those for which voting is actually a burden then you are the problem.

            The poor have a lot less to lose than you do. This isn’t going to change much for them, so it was on people like you to convince them to vote. Promising nothing besides “Not Trump” isn’t going to cut it. Try actually helping them for a change instead of blaming them and then wishing they get fucked, you god damned psychopath.
