Part 5/6:
On the national political stage, Senators Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have found themselves criticized for their extravagant private jet travel while advocating against wealth inequality. Their recent tours aimed at calling out the “billionaire class” have been juxtaposed with a lavish spending pattern when it comes to campaign travel.
As their campaigns cross the country, they face backlash not only from the opposition but also some within their party, pointing out the hypocrisy in their actions compared to their rhetoric. Political strategist James Carville emphasized that despite Sanders’ popularity, his repeated presidential bids haven’t yielded success, suggesting that even within the Democratic Party, a voice of discontent exists.
