James, after the election, Bernie didn’t hold back — he said the Democratic Party must choose between the elites and the working class. Nancy Pelosi didn’t like that.
Pelosi claims the party already represents the interests of the working class. If Democrats like Pelosi refuse to acknowledge and reflect on the realities of this election, Trump’s GOP will keep winning elections cycle after cycle.
Chip in now to help Bernie & Our Revolution build a party that will be responsive to the working class and take on the billionaire class!
Bernie said, “The Democratic Party needs to determine which side it is on in the great economic struggle of our times, and it needs to provide a clear vision as to what it stands for. Either you stand with the powerful oligarchy of our country, or you stand with the working class. You can’t represent both.”
We will be working with our movement and progressive champions like Bernie to chart our path to transform the Democratic Party AND resist the right-wing extremism of the next Trump term.
Can you chip in to stand with Bernie and help fund our fights ahead? We have a lot of work to do to get big money out of politics, address the failures of the Democratic Party, and fight Trump.

In The Guardian, Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese built on Bernie’s important critique. Joseph said, “There was a fundamental failure by the Harris campaign to acknowledge people’s economic pain or adopt Bernie Sanders-style populism, which is where the energy was within the Democratic party in 2016 and 2020.”
“We need a populist economic left willing to challenge corporate power,” he said.
If the Democratic Party leaned into the economic priorities of the working class and embraced Bernie’s agenda of raising wages and delivering on healthcare and housing, the election could have turned out differently. And if Democrats fail to adapt, the GOP could keep growing its support amongst the working class.
It’s on us right now to strategize as a grassroots progressive movement and find a path forward. We must fight Trumpism and the billionaire class. We must build for a future where Democrats embrace the economic and social issues that make a winning coalition AND a material difference in the lives of the working class.
Can you make a donation today to help us build a party who will embrace Bernie's agenda?
