Gotta wonder how many folk in the Coachella crowd got the unstated message that the Coachella lifestyle is killing us. Thousands of rich kids flying across the country (or world) to attend a glamorous party.
Imagine all the people in the audience absolutely tripping balls and suddenly this weird old dude is on stage not playing music, just talking, like words, and everyone is, oh shit, how much did I take? Is this real?
Just read about it! Introduced Clairo & gave a little pep talk/speech. Very cool. Will need to watch the rebroadcast tomorrow! Glad I saw this, thanks Chris!
Every little bit. Some Clairo fan who's not engaged (not sure how that happens these days but…) goes "Who was that guy", looks him up & what he stands for, sees him with AOC…one more for the cause.
Great idea for Bernie to show up at Coachella to talk to the young people. Most of them were stoned or drunk, but still, it was a great idea.
It was also seen by millions on streaming platforms. That’s where I watched him. Loved it.
More needs to be done to get one message across living by fear is not living if you fail to speak up and say something is what cowards do. When we ban together to speak freely and openly without violence or the threats of violence is were we should have the protection of our constitution or do we?
If democrats had done this every weekend whilst in power we would not have been in this situation at all. Even now they are ignoring waiting for a new elections by doing nothing.
i really dont understand how people are saying hes not doing enough. hes being strategic, and even despite not being a democrat he's voted to confirm less than most other actual dems.
He'd never win an election, but even if he did, he'd have been a disaster. A leftist version of Trump... a man with no clue how to get anything done. Just a lot of whining and finger pointing and Straight White Male Grievance. Ugh. He'd be an utter failure. He does nothing but set back progressives.
The greatest success of the fascists is convincing the great unwashed rabble that the ‘socialists’ (who would literally give them money) were the bad guys, and the billionaires were the good guys, it’s so dumb it’s actually brilliant. 🤪
He was too OLD to be president, he had a heart attack, he wasn't even a Democrat. He combed his hair with a balloon, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! He's a SOCIALIST. "He makes my skin crawl"
Time to get busy. Congress is on their paid leave (we paid for) and coming home so grab some friends & pay for daily newspaper aids demanding to know why they support Trump instead of the people who elected them? Remind them Trump can’t vote them Into office.
Made me happy to see this. Felt actually important, reaching many of the people who need to be reached and telling them to tune out at their own peril.
I can understand why he's trying his best to develop others so they can take over the fight when he retires, but, frankly, Maxwell Frost is an intellectual and political lightweight who's not up to the task and likely never will be. He should focus on bringing real people into politics from outside.
Bernie voice: and where were Donald Trump and Elon musk when I closed out Coachella on the first weekend??! Elon cannot hang with the big Bern. He needs his ketamine, cocaine, and other illicit substances. And what DOGE and Trump are doing to this nation is entirely illicit!
Congratulations! 🎉
What an incredible opportunity.
I like people like him who believe in the goodness of people. I know religion isn't for everybody, but on my own journey: socialism is confused with communism a lot. I don't like how communism discourages religion, but religion can be so helpful.
Bernie was there introducing Clairo for her set. He came on stage with Rep. Maxwell Frost of Florida, who he praised and later mentioned again during his roughly 4-minute speech.
A man with an energetic succession plan showing up at Coachella while Chuck Schumer adjusts his readers somewhere while trotting out a gaggle of middle aged centrists.
As someone who cut my teeth ditching class and reading Howard Zinn. Later canvassing for Dennis Kucinich, seeing Bernie elevate the next generation of like-minded people has been awesome.
But *I* wanna know how Bernie got all the way from DTLA out to #Coachella that fast against bumper-to-bumper Coachella-weekend traffic! That sounds like some kinda sus 1% shizz right there!
