'‘We are in the fight of our lifetimes,’ Bernie Sanders tells union partisans at Philly rally'
Decrying the power of the “oligarchy that runs this country,” 80-year-old Sen. Bernie Sanders told thousands attending a pro-labor rally on Independence Mall that “we are in the fight of our lifetimes.”
To applause from the friendly audience, in a campaign-style speech Sanders attacked the concentration of wealth in the nation, the spiraling pay of chief executives, the crushing weight of college debt, and the lack of universal health care.
“Brothers and sisters,” said Sanders. “We are in the fight of our lifetimes. We are fighting incredible wealth and incredible power. We’re going to create an economy that works for us, and not just the 1%.” Mehmet Oz likens Fetterman to Bernie Sanders
Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont who sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 and 2020, told the crowd, gathered between Independence Hall and the National Constitution Center, that the country was saddled with the largest inequities in income and wealth in 100 years.
