'Extremely Dangerous Time': Sanders Warns of Oligarchs' War on Working Class | Common Dreams

It's extremely frustrating to see this guy dropping one truth bomb after another just to have nobody listen to him. I wish Sanders was younger.
Edit: It's really sad, now that I think of it. Here is a man who has devoted his entire life to the betterment of his country. And here he still is, in his eighties, continuing to fight to prevent the rights and liberties that he in his twenties fought to create from being undone. If there was any justice in this world, he should have just now wrapped up his term as President of the United States and be enjoying the few years he has left on this earth in peace after having passed the torch to the next generation of Democratic leaders. Bernie Sanders, a true patriot and devoted warrior for the working class to the very end.
That being said. I am suspending my campaign and I encourage all of you to vote this november for my good friend mr oligarch.
The war on the working class is over and decisively won by the oligarchs. They started it over 30 years ago and today we're seeing the end stages of their plans.
Rising up to fight now is all but futile; they have their surveillance states and police apparati firmly in place. I fear the only way to change the situation is if people from within would stand with us... no idea how to pull that off however.
- Yeah nah get fucked with this defeatist shit. We have many tools at our disposal. The General Strike for one. We’re not gonna just give up this world to some fucking cringe pedophile loser who cheats at video games.
  
  I remember I read about people using guillotines somewhere…
- You could start by NOT sowing despair.
- Dude, look over the world. Much more oppressive regimes with more control have ended with revolutions.
  To be honest, what seems to be coming closer is a period of civil unrest in the US, which may end with either with people Musk and Bezos hanging from the streetlights or full civil war. The recession that Trump is producing right now only lets the wealthy raid the coffers if the poor still have something to lose in the process. Once that's gone, shit will go down.
- I agree the first war is over but it doesn't mean we can't start a second.
  
  Problem now is that americans see themselves as consumers, not workers.
- Yes what we should really do is pray someone else who is benefiting from the system will save us 🙏🙏🙏 ^/s
  
  You say that like people aren't elevating AOC in this thread
- If you’re just going to demotivate people, maybe keep it to yourself and don’t post.
- Eh. Until they remove the second amendment, there's lots left to be done.
