Sanders recently gave an interview to BBC Radio 4 while he was in London for his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour (completed several US stops on the tour along with his left-wing partner Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez). News themezone reported that Vermont Senator said he was wrong with Harris’s defeat about the late retirement of the then president Joe Biden of the race. ” Rather, Sanders said: “In my opinion, that was a campaign that should have been won.”

Sanders said that, instead of focusing on the worries of the working class, Harris and the Democratic Party instead touched their elbows with “multimillionaire friends” and people like Liz Cheney, the Republicans open against Trump.
“Kamala spent more time with Liz Cheney almost with any other person. What is that message to working class people?“Said.
“We love Bernie, and he is much more tactical than me. In general, it is almost certain that I am aware, like me, of the deep ignorance and credulous religiosity of the electorate. The subtext of their tactical advice seems to say” the working class “what they want to hear. That is what Donold Dumpenstein and his minions Trump did and continue to do.”
“But this approach becomes a career to invent more elaborate fantasies, to say larger lies than the other part. And, therefore, a descending spiral in more ignorance and superstition. And when the fantasies go to POOF and the lies are exposed, that the” working class “becomes increasingly cynical and less reliable than politicians.
“Democrats, yes, but not what you think. It was the 6 million Democratic voters who bottled the pearls who voted for Biden, then chose to sit at home this last cycle.”

“Sanders is right about what Harris’s campaign ‘should have been’ in terms of policies, but Harris does not have, and he really does not have enough broad base constituency, which would have turned out to obtain the necessary votes to win a national election.”
“Bernie, basically, says that Harris did not have an effective campaign, but how effective it is for Bernie He says, that is, that is true because, outside, outside those that appear in a step too long, I am in a time that does not happen to me.
“As for her other criticisms of the Harris campaign, I know that she mentioned the minimum wage, but, as we all know, Congress leads to Congress to do anything about that, and they have not seemed inclined for many years. At least not enough.

“So, how effective Bernie was when he ran for the president? Oh, waited, lost in the primaries, but presumably did all the things that Harris accuses of not doing. People here are causing him to seem that Harris was crossed by Trump. She lost by 1.49%, the thinnest margin since Nixon-Humphy.
“Four million voters less appeared compared to 2020., eighty -nine million registered voters never voted, more than any of the candidates received in total votes. Deliberate ignorance and apathy led to a really stupid political decision. Let’s segue and fight for the good struggle to shout through that everyone listens:” Enough! Trump is a psychopathic author and must stop. “
“Harris may not have succeeded with his messages, but Trump knew how to scare the most silly among us, and that is what he resonated. You will never go to the commitment of the stupidity of the middle of the country.”
“You mean the ‘Society of Opportunities’ and ‘We will not return’ did not shake the hearts of the people who live salary for the check, who cannot pay medical attention, and who every month is squeezed through prices and inflation. Why, I am surprised … not really.”

“K. Harris’s first race had it too much to the left, and the last race in which she was locked by the convention, running against a president in which she served. In her other flank was that this great donor pushed politics.
“‘Democrats can only blame themselves for the results of the 2024 elections. The most true words were never pronounced.”
“The Democrats increased the worst campaign in living history against Trump. Harris gave all the indications as vice president that she was not a viable candidate and then demonstrated it. Until now, they do not seem that they have learned anything.”

“It is not useful. The Democrats continue to blame when the Republican Party and the Ultra Rich passed decades planning, the impious relationship with the evangelical Christians, the ruin of the unions, establishing entities such as the foundation of the heritage, who obtained their judges in their place and carefully elaborating the message that socialism reached the Democrats, all while the fascism seeds were insidiously sowed.”
“‘I ran throughout the country trying to choose Kamala Harris and I begged them: talking to the needs of the working class. Talking about raising the minimum wage to a worthy salary …’ What Sanders does not get is that the Democrats are so reluctant to do any of that as the Republicans are. Politicians respond to the people who possess them: the class of donors.
“I like Sanders, but I definitely do not agree with him at this point, and his comments are not useful at all. For those ‘Bernie Bros’ who are still salty that the DNC does not support it in the primary of 2016, this is an idea of why. Man is not a Democrat. So why should he have obtained the nomination to be the democratic candidate?”

“Regardless of whether Kamala Harris spoke or not, the general impression of his campaign resembled the opinion more than a serious and professional campaign. Less dance and ‘joy’ could have made people take it more seriously. I voted for her. I definitely believe that she would have been a good president. But her campaign seized the presidential lite!”
“I think that political leaders outside the United States seem to have more credibility, seem to act with more inherent confidence and dignity, as if they hope to be taken seriously. And they win. Does anyone think that is true?”
“While I agree that Cheney was a big false step, Kamala spoke about all those other things. The Americans didn’t care.”
“Of course, Bernie is successful. These establishment Democrats will continue to use the same old consultants, pollsters who took them to an approval of 25%. Recently, Liberal Super Pac Future Forward organized a meeting of Democrats in the Ritz-Carlton resort in Half Half Moon Bay, California, to inform donors of what was wrong in 2024. What type of message. sends? “

“Or maybe it was because Kamala only ran for 100 days and Trump has been working since 2015.”
