60%? You know who said this? A company called The Lending Club. Where did they get their numbers? No fucking clue. They point to CNBC’s study which says 70%. However, it may come down to Survey Monkeys, an online survey company.
Sanders: "We are living in an economy today where people on top are doing phenomenally well while 60 percent of our people are living paycheck to paycheck."
That didn’t make Trump a better candidate or Harris a worse one.
Try again.

The problem is that Sanders has a lot of anger towards the rich. I get that.
What I don’t get is him thinking he is one of us. He hasn’t been one of us for a VERY LONG time.
Raise your hand if you make $174,000. Hell, our combined salaries never came close to that and I’m a software engineer.
I’m really really tired if the rich pretending they know what the rest of us think.

Respectfully, does someone needs to be poor or making working class wages to advocate for the poor or working class?
I don't begrudge him his salary for a second. His working class BG and bona fides are solid.
There's few who understand or can speak to that audience as well as him and do it in a way that's genuine.
I think his instincts are very good and his voice is necessary for the Dems now...
Biden walked a picket line and helped teamsters keep their pensions. The argument is one he trotted out eight years ago and is still thin as gruel.
He’s also the one who said he didn’t know about his own campaign treating women badly (which is WHY his second campaign was run by a union).
But, yeah, bonifides.
Sanders also was on the gang that wanted to plant a “low-level” nuclear waste dump in a poor Hispanic community.
From nrc.gov:
“The radioactivity can range from just above background levels found in nature to very highly radioactive in certain cases such as parts from inside the reactor vessel in a nuclear power plant.“
🤔😳😳😳😱😱😱
And Sanders was FOR this.
Either he didn’t understand the issue or didn’t care.
I’m sorry it bothers me.

Yes, that’s troublesome. But this from the article:
Sanders' campaign manager Jeff Weaver said in a statement […] that the legislation before Congress did not specifically designate Sierra Blanca as the location for the nuclear waste dump.
"We were assured that regulators would not pick a site that would be harmful to the environment or local communities in Texas,"
And
“…There is no question that there was a real environmental justice aspect to the Sierra Blanca site."
"We were assured that regulators would not pick a site that would be harmful to the environment or local communities in Texas"
Huh?
Money was already pouring into the area and it hadn’t even been signed into law.
