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.

    He isn’t sobbing too much about the undocumented getting deported

    Source demonstrating that he doesn’t care?

    he claims they take from documented Americans

    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.
