Summary
Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drew 34,000 people to a rally in Denver and 11,000 in Greeley as part of their “Fighting Oligarchy Tour.”
They advocated progressive policies and condemned billionaire influence in politics, with Sanders urging resistance to “Trumpism” and oligarchy.
Attendees expressed frustration over economic inequality and corporate influence.
Critics, including Republican Reps. Gabe Evans and Lauren Boebert, dismissed their message as extreme and anti-energy.
Sanders and AOC pledged continued efforts to advance progressive change nationwide.
fuck y’all
been nowhere for decades and country been needing a revolution but just now decide to do something acting like MLK
where was this “energy” a decade ago or two or at any time? Trump is just the latest spokesperson and not the only time we faced shit like this
if another rally is held most likely be in a blue state and odds are these two are just opportunistically cashing out like last time
You have a point if you’re talking about Dems as a whole, but both Sanders and AOC have been pushing to stand up since the beginning. They are definitely not on the list of people sitting by the sidelines and letting it happen.
I don’t want to be too much of an infighter, but look at Bernie’s immigration stance over the years. He isn’t sobbing too much about the undocumented getting deported because he claims they take from documented Americans. It makes it hard to believe him knowing how he has looked directly into the eyes of innocent humans and still chooses to treat them as drains of documented american society.
These people want three things:
Their plan: in two or more years, replace many old liberal, Republican-lite dems with young progressives. This will allow them to push more progressive policies. The problem is they had 8 years, nearly a decade, to do that or else we get fascism and failed and now want to believe in their two year plan to start the change of fascism to a progressive democracy.
I hope fascism is willing to wait for democracy to do its thing as much as these two are betting on it with their strategy, but there are democrats out there taking on AIPAC money and stomping out progressives because they aren’t getting the donations going to the Democratic Party fundraisers because they don’t take corporate donations. There has to be more from the party “of the people” than this.
I don’t believe you.
Believe whatever you want, I don’t care. I’m for open borders and he is not. I would have voted for him like I voted for Kamala, but libs be libs and many anre not for open borders like I am. I want Ellis island back like my ancestors were afforded to come here, but Bernie and many libs are not for an Ellis island. It is what it is, and it is my main gripe with the guy.

He’s not for deporting the dreamers, but get their parents outta here says he lol. If you’re poor and want to come to America? “America’s closed!” says he. He chooses his words so carefully. He is for deporting innocent illegals humans. He doesn’t think they’re innocent and deserve deportation by armed forces. He’s wrong, flat out, I welcome the poor from around the world to come here. I love my immigrant family and I love my immigrant neighbors and I love the immigrants coming here for economic prosperity, and I want that to be as easy as Ellis island again.
Source demonstrating that he doesn’t care?
Ah, now I see what confused you!
Bernie speaks out against billionaires and their corporations driving down wages by exploiting undocumented immigrants.
He doesn’t blame immigrants for being exploited and he has certainly never been in favor of the draconian, abusive, and counterproductive immigration laws of the GOP.
Unlike the leadership of both parties, he places the blame firmly where it belongs: on the rich people and companies profiting off of abusing everyone else.
The foundation Bernie stands on is the the same foundation of Donald Trump. People want someone standing on the earths dirt as their foundation so to speak, not Americas faulty foundation.
Yes Bernie is the better of the choices. But Americans should be making America better by their own hands, their own lives. Rebuild the foundation with our own hands even if that means sacrificing our lives for the future of American humanity. Continuing this American bullshit is like going to McDonald’s instead of growing a garden and eating your own healthy food. Its like… You have the option to not eat at all and starve (trump), eat McDonald’s (Bernie), or learn to grow your own garden and build a better foundation to build upon. We are currently starving. Some people are willing the say fuck it and choose McDonald’s to save them selves. Others are willing to take a risk of life and death to learn to grow their own garden.
We don’t want to be forced to eat something we don’t like. We don’t want to be forced the gmo option they offer us. We want to control our foundation.
Freedom is free, but freedom is war. Peace and unity is possible but at the cost of genocide because it’s not possible to unify humanity. Either path someone’s experiencing hell. The understanding of this is where spirituality comes from. Authentic spirituality… But spirituality is also manipulated and used… …any way you look at it life will always be raw with a mix of good and evil and this is something people will literally kill to ignore.
I seem to remember lots of pro-Bernie energy in 2016. Voting for Bernie would have been much more satisfying than voting for Clinton, at least for me and many of the people I personally know.
I hope you start following AOC’s social media from now on if you still think she lacks the energy or whatever. She and Ms. Crockett have been killing it for a long while now.
They don’t represent raw genuine humanity they represent the adulterated GMO manipulated version of a human being.
I see Bernie as a positive compared to America now, I’ve voted for him or written him in multiple times. But he is the system. A lot of people don’t want the system we’ve known. The system that taught these people is faulty so everything it creates is faulted. We want to get past that fault that creates what is in America today. That fault is deeper then Bernie. Bernie’s foundation is built on the same foundation that the fault is located.
In a strategic way… One wouldn’t want to support Bernie because now at this point in time they know it would just be another bandaid fix covering up and hiding that fault in the foundation of American society. People don’t want bandaid fixes anymore. We are closer to a point that the ultimate sacrifice, going to war, a civil war, makes more sense if the goal is to fix the faulted base that America’s lifestyle and culture is built on.
Imagine if Elon used AI to run the policing and teaching in America. That’s the new method. It’s just the digital way to continue what America already does today. The old manual method was starting charities, creating businesses, lobbying and social manipulation. It’s all the same shit. Both are fucked.
People want humanity that America’s foundation does not live for and was not built for. So authentic people aren’t flocking to talking heads of the tradition political system and media.
The same day they spoke at a rally in Greeley which is a red city and the crowd was 10,000 out of a city population of 100,000
They have support in both red and blue counties and cities.
