More than 10,000 people turned out for a rally with U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt), in Warren as part of his national “Fighting Oligarchy” tour.

    It’s interesting to watch this, and while Bernie is slightly left to my values, how come this octogenarian gets it and the rest of the party doesn’t? I’m just amazed that some democrats interpret this as “let’s align with MAGA” a little more, instead of calling those “right wing radicalists”. The future of Dems is to be the anti-oligarchy party. While I understand how risky this may be as unlimited dark money pouring in can tilt things, but people still have the power if they unite.

      If Bernie fucking Sanders is too far left for you then you’re definitely part of the problem

        yawn.

        Edit: if you go on calling people “part of the problem” for considering Bernie slightly to their left in a post that praises him, then you are actually part of the problem and you don’t even realize it.

        It generally is, especially from the European perspective but not entirely. If we put aside present republican posturing, the USA is very immigration-friendly right and left whereas in Europe the right wing is extremely against any kind of immigration.

        How in the fuck is Bernie too far left for you?

        You guys are way too inclined to think in extremes. Slight = difference between democratic socialist vs. social democrat.

      I’m so glad I am not the only one. In a normal political environment, I would not agree with a lot of AOC’s, Bernie’s, or anyone else in their region of the political spectrum’s ideology. In this political climate, they are the only ones fighting for democracy and I am aligned in almost everything they are doing. Insane how much fascism compresses the opposition.
