Summary
Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez condemned Donald Trump and Elon Musk at a packed Arizona rally, accusing them of harming working-class Americans and promoting oligarchy.
Sanders denounced corporate CEOs as “major criminals” exploiting workers, while Ocasio-Cortez called for stronger Democratic leadership.
Rallygoers urged Ocasio-Cortez to challenge Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer after he supported a Republican funding bill.
The rally, part of Sanders’ “Stop Oligarchy” tour, follows criticism of the Democratic Party’s weak response to Trump’s agenda and features further events in Colorado and Arizona.
Thanks. I needed a rally to know that. So what’s the plan to stop this screw over without relying on the people to be cannon fodder and resort to violence? More rallies and fund raisers for the party of the meek and moral victories? Bit of /s in there.
No, you are so right, why have rallies at all, when we can just let everyone think they are alone in their opposition to fascism. What’s the point of letting the media and politicians know the current administration does NOT have a mandate.
Rallies unite and focus people. People meet at these rallies, become friends, form groups, etc.
You can unite, focus, make friends, form groups at the peaceful protests going on right now. The people are doing something. The perception I am getting is two people already in positions of influence trying to make changes, making money hand over fist doing these things, and getting screwed again by people like Schumer and Pelosi. Heart’s in the right place, method needs to change.
Can you point me to where they are making money? Or just a general all politicians are making money deal. Cause for sure on that.

Grassroots Organization. Spread the word about upcoming fed and state elections. Bring the truth to light and tell it to everyone.
Research the names of companies that have donated to Heritage Foundation, Trump, and Republican party.
There is none. Bernie has passed the torch to AOC whose politics are subordinate to the democrats.
