I think speaking the way Sanders does is more accessible.
Words ending with -archy and -cracy are academic words that your average American doesn't appear to truly understand. Even academics will use those words as if it is all talking about a history long ago or a faraway hypothetical land when the problems are directly in front of us, here and now.
This is Sanders using vocabulary that will get to the brains of your working class American.
