Bernie Sanders Rejects James Carville's Call for Democratic Retreat
Sanders argues Democrats must actively oppose the Trump administration and advocate for the working class, rather than adopting a passive strategy.
- Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Democratic strategist James Carville's suggestion that Democrats should 'roll over and play dead' to let Republican policies fail on their own.
- Carville proposed a 'strategic political retreat,' claiming the Trump administration would collapse under its own weight within a month.
- Sanders countered that Democrats have 'been playing dead for too many years' and need to stand up for working-class Americans facing economic struggles.
- He accused the Trump administration of serving the interests of billionaires like Elon Musk, highlighting income inequality and cuts to social programs as key issues.
- Sanders is currently on a 'Fight Oligarchy' tour, targeting Republican-leaning areas in the Midwest to rally support against what he describes as a government controlled by the billionaire class.
