It doesn't take a historian to come to that conclusion.

The thing is, there's "Dems" and then there are "Dems™".

Dems™ are the Democratic National Committee, and they are so fucking out of touch with reality it's not even funny any longer. There are plenty of Democrats that are simply captured by Dems™ and really just get hamstrung by their idiocy.

Duh, but Bernie got suckered back in for four years basically trusting the Democrat party when in reality they won't change until the voters literally demand it. If in 4 years they can get another billion or two to claim they "tried" then they'll never change.

The clip was uploaded to X, formerly Twitter, where it went viral receiving 6.5 million views and 70,000 likes.

... And yet despite that this article is full of hyperlinks to the news site's topic pages, an embedded video barely related to the title at the top, and an embedded tweet also only loosely related, there is no link to this video of the titular historian's words, how frustrating. They quote two brief statements:

Rigueur said, "One of the things that Bernie Sanders has been saying since at least 2014 has been about how the Democratic party, if it wants to keep these coalitions, needs to talk about bread-and-butter issues. It needs to talk about politics."

Rigueur said that it's not that "cultural politics don't matter," but that both areas need to be a part of the Democrats' platform.

And non voters should've listened to Bernie.
