Senior Senator Sanders (2nd) gave an interview to the media
Reporter: Today, Trump said not to mention the Epstein file anymore, and talk about something else.
Sanders: Everyone is interested in this matter. I think the reason is that everyone sees a small group of very powerful and wealthy people who have their own circle and are above the law.
The "matter" referred to by Senator Sanders is the Epstein sexual scandal and the issue of the elite involved. He believes that the public's high attention to this issue is because people generally realize that a small group of extremely wealthy and powerful elites form an exclusive circle, are above the law, and enjoy different judicial treatment from ordinary people. This phenomenon has exacerbated social discontent with wealth inequality and institutional corruption, especially when ordinary people are punished for minor offenses, while the elite can get away with serious crimes.
Sanders has repeatedly cited data indicating that the two richest people in the United States have more wealth than the total of the bottom 40% of the population. The rich manipulate policies through political donations, making the democratic system tilt towards oligarchy.
Sanders' remarks reveal the anger of the American public against systemic injustice. His actions aim to break the elite circle through electoral politics. However, the infiltration of oligarchic capital into policy, the constraints of the two-party system, and the difficulty of mobilizing voters collectively form the core obstacles to reform.
