Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Jaime Harrison on Thursday responded to Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) accusations that the party has abandoned the working class, contributing to its loss of the White House and Senate on Election Day.
"This is straight up BS," Harrison wrote on the social platform X.
"Biden was the most-pro worker President of my life time- saved Union pensions, created millions of good paying jobs and even marched in a picket line and some of MVP's plans would have fundamentally transformed the quality of life and closed the racial wealth gap for working people across this country," he wrote, referring to Vice President Harris.
"From the child tax credits, to 25k for a down payment for a house to Medicare covering the cost of senior health care in their homes. There are a lot of post election takes and this one ain't a good one," he added.
Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, issued a blistering statement on Wednesday asking whether "the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic party" will "learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign."
"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," Sanders said, citing economic inequality across the country, the high cost of health care and U.S. support for the war in Gaza.
With results still trickling in, Harris appears to have lost the popular vote by more than 4 million votes, and Democrats lost key Senate seats that flipped control of the upper chamber into GOP hands.
A final call on the House is still up in the air, but Decision Desk HQ forecasts show Republicans with a strong chance of scoring a trifecta.
Sanders supported Harris along the campaign trail and said recently that he still considers her "progressive" despite her tacking to the center during a campaign that lasted about three months, after President Biden quit the race.
But his postelection rebuke of the party has sparked controversy as many in the party point fingers and search for answers about what went wrong on Tuesday.

is such a magnificent troll; he alternates between being genuinely helpful for Democrats and being an albatross around their necks on a complete whim, and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it.

I also like Bernie and I agree with you. I lived in Vermont around 2007 or so and despite being extremely left on a political scale, he actually got the conservative parts of the state (which is like 99% of VT) to vote for him. Highest approval rating I've ever seen on any US Senator. People want to be represented by someone with principles.

I disagree with him about most things but at least he's trying. The leaders of the Democratic Party are just sitting on their asses doing the same thing over and over again because as long as they've got a job they don't give a shit what happens.

It's nice to see the Democratic party is absolutely determined to not learn anything from their mind blowing defeat.
I'm not a chud, I'm not, but if this disaster of an election won't cause some serious self-reflection in the democratic party, what will?

I was hoping that something would change also. The Left is a complete and utter mess but we both know nothing will change. In true leftoid fashion they're doing the age old "blame everyone but ourselves" shtick. Yes I'm sure telling Gen Z that they're fricking stupid while being smug will get us a win next election!

2016 was bad enough, but then they almost lose in 2020 for exactly the same reasons and they still learn nothing from that. Now in 2024 they have lost the third fricking time in a row for exactly the same reasons. If they don't change course now, I'm just going to consider them to be Trump supporters. Three times in a row they've shut out any serious candidates who could beat Trump. I don't care if they consciously are trying to help him. They should know by now what they're doing.

I fricking hated her. I was mildly supportive and interested in Bernie's populism in 2016. Debbie Washerman Schulz was such a demonic and twisted evil corrupt character that it blackpilled me on the DNC forever. With Clinton came wikileaks, podesta/pizzagate, sjw cringe compilations, trump memes, Stefan molymeme, he will not divide us, sam Hyde etc ad infinitum.

In other countries when there's a Trump-type president they almost always try to dodge term limits. I'd be surprised if he doesn't at least consider trying. After all, according to him this is actually his third term.
