Bernie Sanders has issued a stark warning to Democratic nominee hopeful Kamala Harris that she needs to battle economic inequality or face losing the election.
The 82-year-old Independent addressed 250 supporters during a town hall meeting on Friday afternoon about what he believes to be the biggest problems in America.
After an audience member at the event chimed in that the biggest problem was economic inequality, he spoke at length over its far-reaching implications.
He told the crowd: 'Discrepancies between rich and poor, income and wealth inequality. I happen to tend to agree.'
Speaking with The Boston Globe after delivering the remarks, Sanders said: '[Harris] needs to have an agenda that speaks to the crisis facing working families all over this country.'
Sanders added: 'I think the Democrats are going to have to be very, very clear as to what ideas they have in the midst of massive income and wealth inequality.
'When the people on top have never, ever had it so good, what is the agenda to protect the needs of the working class?'
He continued: 'It's not my job to dictate what policies she needs to have', but added he wishes to see Social Security and Medicare benefits expanded.
Sanders also called for a revival of the pandemic-era child tax credit, adding: 'I think if a candidate for president adopts these ideas, it will be to her significant political advantage. Not to mention being the right thing to do.'
When asked about Republican nominee Donald Trump, he said: 'I’m going to do everything I can to see that Donald Trump is defeated.'
He added that the former president is 'the most dangerous person in American history' and 'a pathological liar.'

Bernie loves his wealth and power and owning multiple nice houses. For everybody else? The Oppression, higher taxes, and a steady communist feed of propaganda about how Bernie cares about them.
Bernie the Red is cut right from the Politburo cloth. For further insight into Bernie’s mindset, read about Napoleon in Animal Farm.
He and his evil comrades are a great danger to America and need to be removed from controlling what is supposed to be our government
“child tax credit”
In my state cats have to be given periodic rabies shots....
Economic equality of 100000 to 1 doesn’t matter. Jeff Bezos lives and buys in an entirely different economic stratum than me.
Economic inequality of 10 to 1 or even 4 to 1 matters.

Because of poorly written laws that are part of a complex system that’s hard to understand, lawyers can demand and get extraordinarily high incomes.
IOW FYBIGM?
The leftists need to understand that the assets of the rich can’t all be converted into government cash. The major reason is that the middle class lacks the funds to buy those assets. Two trillion in investment available middle-class cash can’t buy 30 trillion in rich guy stocks.
The second reason is that once the rich have been fleeced the asset-owning upper middle class would be next on the leftist government target list.

“should we provide defined benefit pensions to government employees if it causes a budget deficit”
Defined benefit pensions provided via government should be limited to Social Security level amounts.
Government employees should not be shielded against the investment market risks most Americans face.
Harris took $20 billion from American banks and their shareholders. Government employees as indirect shareholders suffered not a penny of loss.
Government defined benefit pensions in excess of Social Security amounts should be struck down as per Brown vs. Board of Education.
Discrepancies between rich and poor, income and wealth inequality.
When the democrats are in charge it’s a simple matter of they are the plantation owners and were the slaves.
Doesn't Bernie Sanders own 3 houses?
Well, we don’t have to be concerned with Harris being a pathological liar (should she get the nomination which is being field-tested during this run-up to the Democrat/Communist Cult fest in a couple of weeks); she does indeed lie about most everything but she lacks the ability (i.e., she’s not smart enough) to effectively hide, much less defend, her myriad lies.
BERNIE HAS 3 MANSIONS.
DOES HE OWN THEM FREE & CLEAR???
I only have one property-—certainly NOT a mansion-—
BUT I OWN IT FREE & CLEAR.
The super wealthy are so secure financially that they feel safe in promoting communism so they can have a bountiful self-image.
The unique experiment of the USA is the ability to move up and down the social economic ladder.
That is what has made us strong.
equality of opportunity
What a hypocrite!
What is always ignored that in communism there still is a “capatalist” class that owns all the wealth,means of production and political power. Bourgeoisie and Proletariat are suckers. Commies hate capitalism for all and a healthy “middle class”.
So says the communist rat bastid.
How did he get THREE MANSIONS??? And a place in DC also, I suppose!
The article says he has THREE HOMES and $2 MILLION DOLLARS. YOU CANNOT HAVE THREE HOMES and ONLY $2 MILLION! The upkeep is DRAINING!
