Bernie Sanders says he fears a government captured by billionaires who exploit working people is an undeniable reality and people are angry.

The Vermont senator recalled Donald Trump’s inauguration, when the three wealthiest people on the planet Elon Musk , Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg were seated in front of his cabinet nominees.

“For years , I’ve talked about the concept of oligarchy as an abstraction,” he said in an interview.

Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are the most prominent Democrats offering both a strategy to confront Trump and an alternative vision for the party.

Supporters say success of Sanders ’ tour is a clear sign that Democrats want the party to aggressivelyfight what they view as Trump ’s encroaching authoritarianism not “roll over and play dead”.

Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez left the arena to address overflow crowd that hadn't been able to get in.

“I don’t believe in healthcare , labor and human dignity because I’m an extremist,” she said.

She said she empathized with Americans who felt overwhelmed and demoralized.
