““It’s no great secret that for the last many decades, Democrats have lost the support of working-class people,” he told me. “One of the reasons is that, in fact, the party has been increasingly captured by big money, by consultants and by policies that have not benefited ordinary people.” But, Sanders continued, Trump’s unabashed embrace of oligarchs—and, frankly, the oligarchy’s reciprocal wet kiss—has provided an opportunity for Democrats to reengage their core constituency."”
