This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von · #635 - Sen. Bernie Sanders · 21 Jan 2026 podcast

For example, you want to start a party in many states, you're going to have to get enormous numbers of signatures in every county in the state to even get on the ballot because the two-party system does not want you on the ballot.

Of course.

Okay?

And you likely don't have a lot of money to do all that stuff.

So it ain't easy, but there are people who are thinking about it.

Right now, where my energy is, is to transform the Democratic Party.

You know, when many years ago on the Franklin Delano Roosevelt, on the Harry Truman, the Democratic Party was considered to be the party of the American working class.

Unfortunately, that has changed over the years.

I want, once again, to have a Democratic Party which has the guts to stand up to the billionaire class and create an economy that works for everybody and not just the very rich.

Again, what I want to see, and I suspect you want to see, is you want to see, let's not use the word, the government is not Tesla Corporation.

The government theoretically in a democratic society is you, right?

And to some degree, you know, you don't like people, you can get rid of them, right?

And our job is to create a more democratic with small D, not a big D, a small D where government is responsive to the people.

But I want to say a word on this, the issue that you just raised.

I have over the last six months become very, very concerned about AI and robotics.

Uh, and there are a lot of reasons why, uh, number one, the easiest, I think most of the parent reason is what these data centers, I don't know.

You're following these data centers.

There will be a decent number of construction jobs.

Right, but after that, it's not going to be many.

Right, to run the place like almost nobody.
