Summary

Following Donald Trumpā€™s election win, Sen. Bernie Sandersā€™ approach to economic populism is being highlighted as a possible path forward for Democrats to regain working-class support.

Sandersā€™ longstanding message, which targets billionaires, corporate corruption, and economic inequality, offers a clear counter-narrative to Trumpā€™s scapegoating of marginalized groups.

His approach appeals to voters feeling economically alienated, much like Trumpā€™s message did in this election.

Democrats are urged to embrace Sandersā€™ style of anti-establishment, class-focused politics to rebuild trust with working-class voters, prioritize new leadership, and counter Republican extremism effectively.

      Capitalist news likes to conflate progress and fascism under the term ā€œpopulismā€ so they can smear progressives like Bernie by equating them to Trump.
