Bernie Sanders's Take On Kamala Harris's Election Loss

"I ran all over the country trying to elect Kamala Harris and begged them: Talk to the needs of the working class. Talk about raising the minimum wage to a living wage," Sanders said. "Talk about real health care reform. Talk about building the kinds of massive amounts of housing that we need, and putting checks on landlords' greed on housing."

"But this approach becomes a race to concoct more elaborate fantasies, to tell bigger lies, than the other party. And thus a downward spiral into more ignorance and superstition. And when the fantasies go poof and the lies are exposed, that 'working class' becomes more and more cynical and less and less trusting of politicians. Not a good ethos for a representative democracy."

"As for his other criticisms of Harris's campaign, I know that she mentioned the minimum wage, but, as we all know, it takes Congress to get anything done on that, and they haven't seemed inclined for many years. At least not enough of them. As for celebrity endorsements, I don't value them, but I don't agree that they hurt. Especially Beyoncé's."
