His statements on these matters read as follows:
“We have had significant success in kind of transforming the dialogue in America. Many of the issues that I talked about four years ago … that were considered radical then and are kind of mainstream today. […] You know, when you hear the word ‘heart attack,’ you’re thinking of somebody lying on the ground in terrible pain. Wasn’t the case, OK?”
Sanders also admitted that the Democrats of today are very different than the ones from four years ago.
“Many of my Democratic opponents are saying today what I said four years ago. We’ve struggled really hard to get to where we are right now, bringing millions of people together in the fight for justice, and I’m not a quitter.”
A Closer Look at Sanders’ Commentary and Left-Wing Extremism
The majority of Americans can agree about the changes which have taken place within the Democrat Party. However, unlike Sanders, there are many Americans who don’t look upon these changes very favorably.
Some people have even suggested that the new direction of the Democrat Party will backfire on them in 2020. Medicare-for-All, Housing-for-All, and absolution of various debts are largely viewed as radical and unaffordable, especially by conservatives.
