Over 30,000 people in Denver showed up to a rally spearheaded by 2 democratic socialists, but both parties will keep pretending that Americans aren't hungry for a real change

Still to this day theres no policies that people dont pay that just gives people benefits etc unless you call tax breaks and subsidies to the rich socialisim !
But cheato 34 doesn't have the power to impeach and hold the trial. Congress has that. And yes, president elmo is bribing Congress members, but they need more members than the cult to go through with it.
Well, ten Democratic Senators are apparently stupid or on the take.
And the House is holding the line, but there are cracks. Just yesterday, during his tour, Bernie told us to leave the Dem Party and register Independent. Makes total sense to fracture our Party more. Sounds like a sure fire way
The irony is that I think Trump was elected for the same reason, it's just that the Democrats - who should have been offering an alternative to the last 50 years of failed neoliberal policies - we're offering more of the same.
Can't @sanders.senate.gov & @aoc.bsky.social just start a new country. Maybe in Vermont? Just leave the Union & only SANE, RATIONAL, INTELLIGENT people can be citizens??? Please??? 🙏
They're trying to save capitalism and reset the clock so it takes another decade or two for a more competent fascist regime to rise and do this all over again to another generation. Going back won't save us. Only forward. One way out!
Just because it's in deep red doesn't mean all the people from the rally are local. Lots of Trump fans traveled. And let's say a higher number of attendees were Republican. How many will revert views a week later? Overconfidence is what lost Dems the election. The next elections are a gauge for all.
I hope. But it is an oligarchy (as I see, most of the democratic countries are) from a long time, since the money is what chooses the candidates that can be elected.
Funny how they always have a lot to say about "paid groups" but I've never seen any evidence. Ever. In all the years they've made this claim they've been nothing but talk.
The only one who pays groups is E. That hundred dollar payment for votes in Wisconsin, the million dollar lottery where he picked up names for his whatever it is list.
We sent her home.
It was too big of an ask to vote like a black woman.
Imagine getting fired from your job and than being asked to come back and save the company for FREE?
I've always cared more about focusing on good public policies than the capitalism/socialism debate, but Bernie and AOC are better on policy than the RNC and DNC at present.
Right lol i’d argue that’s why things don’t change. Arguably the two most popular democrats are democratic socialists. Being anti oligarchy is essentially socialism that word just scares people for some reason.
I like private ownership of capital, but I absolutely despise a federally funded private sector. Capitalism, Socialism, Corporatism... whatever this is, is corrupt. Industries regulate themselves and regulate away competition. Madness.
I think most people just don’t actually know what these systems mean. Any sort of excuse that could be made to continue what we’re doing is the definition of insanity.
If AOC ever decides to run for president, she will lose. While she obviously has political experience already, Americans will see an outspoken, powerful woman of color, and vote for her opponent, even if that's a Trumper. America is racist and misogynist to its core.
The Republicans have existed to manage the political system for the benefit of capitalists. The Democrats have existed to manage social reaction to capitalists.
Yep. I’m not voting for Shapiro, Fetterman, or Newsom. I keep seeing people suggest Pete Buttigieg, like they’re allergic to learning what the people actually want. They’re like, “Buttigieg is gay. That’s good enough, right?” 🙄
Bernie and AOC remind me not all is hopeless. Eric Stawell is coming to Lunas District. I wish my district Stuebe would have one. If you brought Bernie/AOC and Jasmine Crocket and Pete Buttigeig this red district would make msm news turnout be so high
Keep talking shit on dem voters
That'll make them turn out to vote
How about instead of shit talking your voters you talk about how good it is to see folks step up to the plate you divisive ass
Because infighting works so well for us
Yeah, I'm pretty fckn passionate about us all banding together against this admin
Only a person who isn't affected by this shite would call that "crazy"
I mean, lucky for you that you can still play that stupid game I guess?
But millions of us would appreciate you cutting that shite out, thanks
I think billionaires are why we are in this mess. I think taking out the chief villains is a pretty unifying message. My gripe against Dem politicos is that many won't risk their patronage for an easy, unifying message.
I agree
I think this is a war of the classes hidden by fear mongering and propaganda
They will strip us of everything and put us into some world of dystopian slave shite where they don't even pretend any longer
We need to fight THEM, not each other
One problem is that the Left keeps turning on itself. Look at Democrats being heckled and denied votes by pro-Palestinian protesters, who are obviously going after the wrong party. Plenty of leftists wouldn’t vote for Hilary Clinton, either when she was running.
It'd be truly one of the most amusing things in recent history if, by denying AOC that ranking member position on a committee, she ends up the nominee for President, or even just like replacing Chuck Schumer.
I don't think that'll happen (it should, mind), it'd just be amusing if it does.
Very impressive, and we need much more of this. But the reality is that Dems need support and votes from the folks in the middle. When THEY start coming out to rallies, then we'll have something.
I said nothing about candidates. More important is how Dems reach and communicate with the working class, lower-information voters (which went heavily toward Trump).
This strategy has failed multiple times, please stop pretending like it’s going to work.
Also “moderate” is losing meaning by the day. The choices now are the side setting the country on fire and the side not setting the country on fire. You can no longer straddle the line, it doesn’t work.
What "strategy" are you referring to? I said that Dems need support from moderates in order to win. I didn't say that they need to abandon the left wing of the party.
Centrists gave us Clinton, Biden, Harris & ultimately 2 Trump terms. The era of centrists co opting progressives should be done. When this movement ultimately fails anyone left of democrats should have all the evidence to ditch this party for one advancing average ppls interests.
The USA people are living in "the story of O" with chump gate 2025, just Steven is chumpy and Elon and iron bracelet is the iron cross ink of proud boys hate, we love our country now sold to other owner Trump bff Putin from chump same same
We know what the Schumers and Jeffries are pitching isn't working. Americans want something new, something different--they want CHANGE.
Now's the time to test universal healthcare, federal mim wage, voting on the ERA, etc.
There is literally noting left to lose.
I been voting since 1980. I always put my morals over selfishness. I serve for 35yrs. I don’t speak for all black folks, but I feel strongly I do for most. I’m done trying to save this country from itself. Nov5 let us know how other groups feel about us. I’m never voting again&gonna take care of me.
I voted for you. I voted for you & all the strong black women who have always shown up without fail.
I voted for everyone they’re trying to destroy. I always will.
It’s past time white people get their shit straight and do the fighting. Do know, I am.
Despite claims of 34,000 attendees, GPS data analysis reveals the real number was closer to 20,000
A whopping 84% of those devices had shown up at nine or more other protests, including Antifa/BLM events, pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian demonstrations, and Kamala Harris campaign stops.
It's not even both parties. The Republicans have firmly grasped the mantle of "real change," just not the kind of change that will help out the vast majority of Americans. It's the mainstream Democrats and their enablers that think that only minor tinkering is needed from the early-2010s status quo.
America's long, proud history of racism and misogyny always prevails.
From "Obama is a secret Muslim" to "Joe & The Hoe", there's nothing Americans hate more than people of color and women potentially seeking political office.

Gather. Resist. Repeat.
You both rock!
Tariffs are not free market capitalism 👍
My condolences for your future in economics
Trump arresting people for working and sending them to the gulag in El Salvador ain’t free market capitalism either.
just tells it like it is. #BernietheDemocrat
It'll be impossible for the right wing media to label a 30K person crowd as a "paid group."
The "paid group" explanation is the MAGA/GOP default storyline to diminish these real protesters.
Believe your eyes, both sides want their voices heard.
🗽
If only 25K people were given $10.00 each, not even including any transportation.
25,000 × $10.00 =
$250,000!
Anyone who thinks a 1/4 of a million dollars was spent for a crowd photo op is delusional.
This was a genuine protest.
Always has been
We are a colonial fascist empire
That’s why this is stupid. It’s just another sheep dog rally to VBNMW.
The war machine is always hungry ☠️⚙️💸
Bernie herds sheep back to capitalism to manufacture consent
It was too big of an ask to vote like a black woman.

Both parties were paid by the rich to do so.
The Republicans have been exposed.
The Democrats can no longer manage the fallout.
We need to wake everyone up and resist.
We are legion.
That'll make them turn out to vote

I think the main goal is to oppose them at every step of the way

Real change? That comes when enough people say enough. When love and social justice (and beauty, too, I’m a poet) are the center and heart of it all.
Now's the time to test universal healthcare, federal mim wage, voting on the ERA, etc.
There is literally noting left to lose.
Don’t lose sight of that fact.
I voted for you. I voted for you & all the strong black women who have always shown up without fail.
I voted for everyone they’re trying to destroy. I always will.

Paid actors.
