The Spin
Left narrative
Sanders continues to be an advocate for vital labor unions that protect workers’ rights and safety. In the face of attempts by Amazon and other major corporations to crush employees' unionization efforts, the US needs someone like Sanders to prevent exploitation.
Right narrative
Sanders seemingly won’t rest until he destroys capitalism; he is consistently hell bent on attacking some of the premier companies of the US and cutting into their hard-earned profits. Amazon is doing what it can to improve working conditions for its employees, but no company can have a perfect record. Sanders should be working with the companies that provide livelihoods to American people, rather than investigating them.
