Summary

Sen. Bernie Sanders is touring Iowa and Nebraska to rally against “the oligarchy,” aiming to energize progressives rather than launch a 2028 presidential bid.

At 83, he seeks to shape the Democratic Party’s future, arguing it lost in 2024 by neglecting working-class voters.

He hopes to influence budget battles and the 2026 midterms, targeting GOP lawmakers in battleground districts.

With Democrats lacking clear leadership, Sanders’ prominence and focus on economic inequality could define the party’s direction in the Trump-Musk era.

    Just more disinformation. They’ll throw anything at him in hopes that it sticks. They have no idea how to handle decades of sincere authenticity and prescience.

        You don’t have to like him, but you’re the one being a fucking weird freak about it.

        No politician ever will ever be 100% in line with what you want. I think it’s very shameful that he voted in favor of Rubio, doesn’t make everything else he’s done irrelevant.

        Grow up.
