19. Bernie Sanders lambasts 'absolute failure' of Democratic party's strategy
Thu Apr 2, 2020, 12:50 AM

Yet, this is how Bernie attempted to profit off of Democratic losses in 2016. He pointed to her defeat and how he challenged her as evidence of the "absolute failure" of the Democratic party, as well as evidence of the success of his agenda, even though Hillary Clinton incorporated many of his ideas into the DNC agenda.

Thus, is this why Bernie is once again invested in trying to undermine Democrats in 2020?

Bernie Sanders has criticised the Democratic party’s current direction as “an absolute failure” in a speech at the People’s Summit in Chicago.

Speaking to a crowd of 4,000 activists, Sanders hailed the “enormous progress in advancing the progressive agenda”, saying the increasing House and Senate support for a $15 minimum wage and the opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership showed the success of the movement.

But the Vermont senator said that establishment Democrats were standing in the way of further progress.

“The current model and the current strategy of the Democratic party is an absolute failure,” Sanders said.
