Temple, ariz. – Senator Bernie Sanders has turned out to be a leading voice for the voters who were rejected against President Trump’s rapidly reducing the federal government – and frustrated with the reaction of the Democratic Party.

Sanders and his fiery form of economic populism, which attacks the growing influence of billionaires and companies in politics, are not new, but the interest in messages and messenger became renewed by Trump’s second term and the oversized role that Elon Musk played in the reduction of the Federal Agency and the thrust from agencies to firefighters.

“Well, when I talked about oligarchy over the years, I think that it was an abstraction for some people,” said Sanders in an interview with NPR. Now: “People understand that they have to be blind so as not to see that what we have today is a government of billionaires, by the billionaires and for the billionaires.”

But the independent Senator from Vermont also said that the Democratic Party of the American working class has returned and proposed that the party is using this moment by working for guidelines that deal with things such as income relief, health care and climate change.

“If you do that, I think that working people will get back into folds,” he predicted. “If not, I suspect that the party will continue to lose weight.”

On Thursday, Sanders started a western swing of his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with rallies in Las Vegas and Tempe, Arizona, attached by the New York Democratic MP Alexandria Ocasio -Cortez. The couple spoke with an overflow volume of thousands inside and outside the Arizona State University muletta about the threat that Trump and its allies represent American voters and the government.

“We will not allow you to put this country into an oligarchy,” Sanders promised and spoke directly to Trump. “We will not allow you and your friend Mr. Musk and the other billionaires to fulfill the working families of this country. No, they will not destroy social security. They will not destroy medicaid. They will not destroy the veteran administration.”

On Friday, the communication director of Sanders said that more than 30,000 people appeared in Denver, Colorado to hear him, a larger amount than any event during his two presidential runs.

In the first few months of Trump’s return to the White House, his state efficiency efforts by Musk have recorded Musk Chaos and confusion through widespread termination of government contracts, federal workers and attempted wholesale elimination of agencies and departments.

While the Democrats neither hold the congress nor the White House, Ocasio-Cortez said that voters still have the authority to defend themselves against the politics of the Trump government that she says that it masked the real gap in the country between “those, very, very above and its endless greed, which is masked by all other other costs”.

“Ironically, the most splitting forces in this country actually begin to bring more of us together,” she said. “And that is important because the same billionaires who bring a demolition ball into our country result in their power when they share working people apart.”

The Democratic Party is also unpopular

While a recently identified by NPR/PBS News/Marist survey, the majority of voters settle in the state of the country and that Trump’s Agenda is rushed without taking into account its effects, this displeasure also extends to the democratic party.

An NBC messages from last week finds the popularity of the party at an all-time low, which is powered by dissatisfied democrats, they want their elected officials to actively counter Trump’s agenda instead of trying to find compromises.

This feeling was to be seen at the rally in Sanders in Arizona, where the volunteer Clarissa Vela said that the Democrats “have to stop biting themselves in their tongue and get loud” to tell the voters what they are intended to promote unpopular changes.

“You have to organize yourself because that’s all this works,” she said. “You have to show your faces wherever you go and you will be so exhausted. But at the end of the day we have to do that if we want to take back our democracy.

After decisive losses in November, the Democrats elected a new party leadership to lead the national infrastructure, but have no unique figure that drives the reaction to the early days of Trump’s return to the White House, let alone a uniform message.

Democratic voters – and some legislators – are dissatisfied with the decision of the Senate Minister of Minister Chuck Schumer, who help the Republicans to avert a government final after the Haus Democrats had argued against the support of the expenditure plan.

What’s next?

Since ever larger crowds of Sanders visit Sanders’ events and more people are demanding a grant within the strategy of the Democratic Party, a recurring question has arisen: Why no longer sound democrats like Bernie Sanders?

On the one hand: Sanders is not a democrat, even though he crouches with them. Sanders has been in the congress for three decades and is probably the best known progressive in Washington. The politics and the demographic data from Vermont are also friendly to the views of Sanders as in other battlefields in the Trump era.

While other elected democrats may not give the alarm with the same rhetoric as Sanders and Ocasio Cortez, the rising counter-reactions to musk and Doge began to pursue some similar frames in particular to follow the Republicans.

At the beginning of this week, the governor of Minnesota Tim Walz spoke at an event in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, one of many places where Democrats kept in the town halls in GOP-transferred districts in which voters have expressed trouble in musk-inspired cuts of the Federal Government.

Walz aimed at Trump and Musk and used the Wisconsin voter to see on April 1 for an important election of the state’s Supreme Court.

“We have to have a conversation that Democrats have honestly dealt with that America’s health system is still incredibly broken,” said Walz. “It’s incredibly frustrating.”

Sanders on his part is not surprised that his long -term message with people in the entire ideological spectrum seems to be resonance:

“Because if you are a republican of the working class, you do not believe that it makes sense to give the richest people in this country a tax capacity and then to shorten the (department for veteran affairs), after social security and make $ 800 billion cuts at Medicaid,” he said. “Republicans, more independent, democrats … very few people think that makes sense.”
