Bernie Sanders backs Trump protests, questions Electoral College

But their voices have been for too many decades drowned out and passed over.

Sanders promised he and his supporters would hold Trump accountable to his words, such as his minimum wage pledges.

The Senator for Vermont also said people voted for Mr Trump because they were in despair and not because they’re racist.

The feeling was nearly. jubilant at a sun-soaked U.S. Capitol rally this afternoon where Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and hundreds of labor and other social justice activists celebrated the defeat of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and vowed to fight some of President-elect Donald Trump’s policies.

He called on President-elect Trump to reverse the appointment of Stephen Bannon to his position as Chief-Strategist in the White House.

“Trump was posing as a hero of the working class of America”, Sanders said before clarifying that his victory was conditional: “Hillary Clinton ended up with 2 million votes than Donald Trump”.

And then you got a guy named Mr. Trump, who goes around saying, “I’m gonna champion you!”

Sanders also said he hoped Trump would apologize for some of the divisive language he helped fuel on the campaign trail.

“We believe the DNC chair must reflect the base of the Democratic Party and the mission for which this party long stood”, said Donna Smith, executive director of Progressive Democrats of America.

In addition, WikiLeaks said in a statement last week that Trump won the November 8 election because Democrats rigged the system to have Clinton beat Sanders. What’s crucial now, he said, is for people to get involved in the political process.

The Independent senator, who was seeking the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination, made the remarks at an event at the George Washington University on Wednesday night when a Washington Post reporter asked whether he hurt Clinton’s chances at the presidency.

Sanders’ vocal opposition to the man – and his use of the term “racist” – is important, we just don’t know if Trump is listening. “That’s, as far as I know, that’s still an ongoing investigation”. Divided by cable news stations that play for their own audiences so that many of us live in our own bubbles.

“This country, since our inception, has struggled to overcome discrimination of all forms: racism, sexism, xenophobia and homophobia”, Sanders said.

Sanders drew support from millennial voters in every demographic and attracted hundreds of thousands of people to his massive rallies.

No doubt many Democrats are wondering what hit them.

Bernie Sanders is back on the stump. “Bernie!” he told them that they were “motivated by love unlike some who are motivated by hatred”.

The election map showed “a sea of Republican red in the country’s midsection with blue states largely arrayed along the two coasts”, as the AP described it, to “amply illustrate the rural/urban divide”. “He repeatedly urged them to connect with the people who had been left behind by the revolutions in technology and globalization”, the Mail said. Now I happen not to believe him.

Taylor Eldridge, a D.C. resident agreed.
