Bernie Sanders Is Now a 2028 Frontrunner — It Should Terrify Every American Who Loves This Country

There’s one more element Halperin raised that deserves to be stated directly: the anti-Israel radicalism now coursing through the Democratic base is so intense that Jewish candidates face serious structural disadvantages for the nomination. Sanders survives this test because his anti-Israel positions are sufficiently extreme to satisfy the pro-Hamas wing of the party — at least for now. How long that lasts once he’s the actual frontrunner is an open question.

Here is the bottom line that every conservative needs to understand heading into 2028: the Democrats are not moderating. They are not course-correcting. They are not learning lessons. They are radicalizing — fast, deliberately, and with genuine grassroots energy behind them.

A party with Bernie Sanders as its frontrunner is a party that has fully embraced what it is. Republicans had better be paying attention — because that base turns out in midterms, and they’re angry.
