Sanders unloaded on the Democratic Party after President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the presidential contest last month.<\/p>\n

“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. First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well,” Sanders declared.<\/p>\n
