"Sanders, who twice sought the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, caucuses with Democrats but insists on staying a nominal progressive independent. From that vantage, he is a reliable stand-in for the United States' left flank, one who is all too happy to criticize the party with which he regularly works with but refuses to officially join."
"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 in a statement released on Wednesday just before Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her concession speech."
"While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they're right. Sanders' analysis is not novel or inaccurate."
"Harris fared pretty poorly with the Democratic Party's base, losing ground in just about every objective category that mattered. What had been seen as a nail-biter of a race turned into a blowout in the final tally, and Democrats are turning inward with plenty of recriminations about the whos and hows at fault."
