Sanders: [It] "should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them."

Yep. That's it. For years the left as a movement (not the democratic party alone) has messaged they don't want and don't need the working class. Even though democrats have consistently the better policies for working class people, but they seem to be ashamed about it.

What is happening that the wealthier, well educated left is hyperfocusing on identity politics (and the right is gladly playing their game as they realize it is beneficial to them). But the real conflict in the world is a class conflict. White and black people, gay and straight are all exploited as workers by Amazon and Walmart and so on. The educated left keeps separating people into smaller and smaller compartments and explains they are at odds, while the workers don't care which skin color their coworker has, they care about both getting paid better and more vacation days. Focus on that.

You must be following a bunch of people that pretend to be left.  Most of the left and left leaning people I follow are for the working class and from the working class.

LOL. Yes, declare what you decide are left people and who not. And apparently according to you democrats are a bunch of people pretending to be left. If we are defining left as caring about working class, then the democrats aren't left and a left does not effectively exist in the US. In that case replace left with liberals or whatever you deem the right term.
