Ah, the great Senator Sanders, the modern Cassandra of the Left, forever predicting a dystopian future that only seems to arrive when someone else is in charge. As if the oligarchy could only be a Trump or Musk affair, rather than a reflection of the very system he’s supposedly crusading against. The fact that his vision has come true, he’s less a seer and more a self-fulfilling prophecy. His campaign-style rallies? More like a reminder that even when he’s right, he’s still as ineffective as ever at bringing change. And the House Republicans? They’re more likely to break from him than from the very reality he’s been barking about for years. A true master of the dramatic spectacle, but with all the substance of a soapbox speech.
