Independent Senator Bernie Sanders’s harsh words about the Democratic Party’s losses on election night made party leaders even more angry than they were before.

“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.

Bernie Sanders criticized the Democratic Party after significant election losses, arguing it has alienated working-class voters by neglecting issues like inflation, wages, and corporate corruption.
