During a recent appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Bernie Sanders did something few politicians dare, he agreed with Donald Trump. Not about policy, but about diagnosis: “The system is broken.”
For a moment, two political opposites shared the same reality. The left blames corporate greed; the right blames the government; everyone blames each other and the system keeps humming, broken but busy.
Sanders argued that billionaires write the rules while workers write the bills. He said what most Americans already know: democracy’s been foreclosed, and the auctioneer sounds suspiciously bipartisan.
Stewart called it “refreshing honesty.” Others called it “political theater.” But honesty in American politics is so rare it should come with a trigger warning.
Because when both sides start agreeing that the game is rigged, it’s not unity, it’s the moment you realize the casino’s owned by the house.
