Bernie Sanders had some harsh words for the Democratic Party, giving a reality check to the losing end of the political spectrum at the People’s Summit (https://www.thepeoplessummit.org/) this weekend:

The former presidential hopeful called out Democratic Party leaders for their failing message, or lack thereof, and challenged the party to “finally figure out which side its on,” citing opposition to Wall Street and the fossil fuel industry, claiming that the Democratic Party has not been harsh enough on these big business groups. Bernie received an uproar in applause and “Bernie would have won” chants from attendees in the audience.

Sanders is correct to call out the Democratic Party. Even the self-proclaimed socialist recognizes that resisting the president, yelling “shame, shame, shame,” (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/democrats-drown-out-paul-ryan-with-chants-of-shame-shame-on-house-floor/) at the Speaker of the House, and drawing impeachment articles (http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/06/politics/al-green-trump-impeachment-plan/index.html) with no basis all do not equal a winning strategy. The Democratic party currently offers no concrete policy message that aligns with the best interest of the American worker, and the neglect felt by average Americans showed in the 2016 election results. If Democrats want to stop losing, they need to #Resist their own party leadership and start identifying with the American people.

He means the establishment. And that includes much of the GOP as well.

He means the establishment. And that includes much of the GOP as well.. If he's so disgusted or disillusioned by the Democrats, why has he continually attached himself to the DNC? His deeds don't match his words on this one.

It was the DNC or third party, which is nowhere in America. The duopoly has ensured that they have no real competition short of a revolution.

He didn't compromise his principles, thus he was sabotaged. I guess he was still hoping for integrity but he was defeated before he even began. There was no integrity to be had. It was promised to Hillary in payment for not obstructing the vote for Obama. Obstructing that vote would have brought the media down in hoards and they knew it.

How can one not be compromising their principles by maintaining an allegence to a political party you have publicly condemned because they are the source of your power?

Sometimes change must be led from within. The dems are pretty much a party without a platform.

[Tahuyaman]

If Sanders was a man of conviction he would attempt to lead a third party movement and divest himself from the Democrats. Instead he places political power and convenience over principles. He's a joke.

I agree with the Senator somewhat but he should have finished with the Progressive left is much worse.

Sanders is the epitome of the progressive , socialist left.
What he is advocating is a total shift of the hard-working, blue dog democrat, to the mindset of the lazy, socialist, free-sh!tter, government reliant philosophy of greatness and prosperity. The latest success story being Venezuela.

There are many decent, hard working democrats out there who will never subscribe to Bernies' socialist vision not the current tactics of the DNC.

On the other side of the table , you have absolutely spineless GOP's in position of power that choose not to obey the the voice of the people.

The two-party system is succeeding in the fact that there is truly only one party.
The party of the greedy, self-enriching political elite.

Sanders is more honest than the democrat elite, he at least tells you what he wants to do and he believes in it.
He has a few ideas I agree with and many I do not

What can he or anyone else do? It's either run on the Republican or Democratic ticket, or be irrelevant. That's the way the system works unfortunately.
