Americans are not smart enough to discern what is true. They believe the rumor that immigrants in Springfield eat cats and dogs, and vote for the idiots who spread the rumor.
Even if people might differ at some of her political standpoints, she is the alternative to the authoritarian Trump regime and probably best hope for the democrats.
The old and the new kicking ass for America. So thrilled to see them out there spreading truth! We need these rallies everywhere by many Democrat leaders. Thank you AOC and Bernie...
IMO, a billionaire class can coexist with democracy, but not if the guardrails have been removed allowing them to use those billions to buy legislators & legislation behind an opaque curtain. Thank Citizens United for that.
I am just wary that we are vilifying a group and losing sight of the more fundamental problems. At an abstract level, it's not much different than blaming societies problems on immigrants or LGBTQ or whatever. I find that we spend too much time blaming and not enough time fixing the root problems.
Yes, I see your concern - analyzing the power structures that allow for the accumulation of immense wealth when vulnerable communities are homeless and without food - that was where I was going with my post - however, your point is well taken - thank you
I think that we have different perspectives on cause-effect. I see the problems in vulnerable communities as being, in part, due to lack of monetary support because the wealthy have bought favorable tax treatment and social policies that protect them. Again, undue influence of money in government.
This is true, but it's equally true that a lot of these working class people lubed themselves up, bent over a barrel and said "crack on lads" because Trump/Elon promised to screw over people they didn't like too.
AOC, the time is now. The country needs bold, fearless leadership, and you are the future. I urge you—run for President. Millions are ready to fight for you, for justice, for the people. We’re done with corporate rule. Let’s make history together!
While THEY are correct, the decision makers and leadership of the Dems have been screwing over working people just as hard. What have they done to battle the oligarchs while in power
Two cheers go to progressives Sanders and AOC in a stand for the working class. Both, though, supported Biden, then Harris, whose policies left many people behind. Like the Labour party in the UK, the Democrats remain pro-rich and anti-poor. Each nation requires a mass socialist alternative.
Break that down - how did Clinton, Obama, Biden and Harris betray the working class? Come on dude, spell it out. Those claims are old - and if you are going to say NAFTA, tell us how the alternative would have been better for the working class NOT in the manufacturing industry.
Democrats have never caved or even embraced the base of their property - and until they do, they will lose more often than not. If Trump has proven anything it is that you can embrace the base and still win.
The base of any party is those voters who can be counted on to vote for the party’s nominee every year, in every election, every damn time, not its fickle fringe.
The base of the Democratic Party are moderates not Loud Leftists.
Sigh. Why frame it as a working class issue only ffs.
The fascists are screwing over democracy and the rule of law. They’re destroying all govt agencies (aside from defense & intel), coming after the press, the judiciary, law firms, all of our intl allies etc.
We should mobilize historians to communicate with each of the Nine Supreme Court justices about their legacy if they are the final failed guardian of the constitution.
No doubt. But please Dems, back away from the woke agenda. The word has been hijacked and it is counter productive. Focus on the greater good. There is still room to care about everyone.
I mean back away from the word woke itself because the meaning has been twisted. It has become divisive. Focus outwardly on the greater good but remember there is still room to care for everyone.
The word "woke" never has been used by the Democratic left. That was the doing of the Trump Humpers - and they did it so well, they apparently convinced us that it was our word.
"Backing away from the woke agenda" because of name-calling? Which part of the "woke agenda" are you prepared to give away because the far right have highjacked the word? Was the word more important than the principles?
In the end, it has always been about removing rights.There is no term that won't be on their chopping block. Racism and misogyny are in our country's DNA. White people are going to have to suffer for this to change, just like in 1938. It took 25% unemployment for people to change their tune.
I agree there is racism and misogyny. The privileged do not want to give up their privilege. But a 1930's "solution" won't work. We know what the problems are. It is time to bring as many people together and find a fix.
Some aren't but many are. I hear / see it regularly. Plus they have not done much to better clarify things. If the Dems walked it back and reframed it effectively, it just might break through to Republican bubbles. Sure could not hurt.
I meaaannnn, yes, but to be fair, he’s screwing over the entire United States of America and ALL of our allies. Let’s not be so limited in our perspectives here.
Yes but sadly the majority are too stupid to realise this.
Plus if you get all your news from Fox, why would you think otherwise than Trump is doing a great job , and if things are not perfect it’s everyone else’s fault - primarily ‘the woke’?
A former waitress pretending to be some communism inspired diva and a too old to not fall asleep if left out in the cold guy. Is that the A-team the Democrats have assembled to fight back the Putin backed dictator wannabes?
Americans seem drawn to extremism and performative politicians..people with background that have stood up to Trump like Nikki Haley or Andrew Cuomo..are cast aside..so sadly it’s all Greta style bread and circuses
I know she has education. She does not have experience. What was the biggest responsibility she had on her shoulders and how do you know she can deliver? I will not call you an asshole back but lets say I think people like you are the real reason Donald is in the White House.
No, no and no. First, you showed total disrespect for her by calling her the ex-waitress and you suck! Experience? Does JD Vance second in line have experience. What 6 years in Congress and 23 bills isn't good enough? I voted against Trump 3 times because I know what human decency is and you do not
Yes, yes and yes. First I show no disrespect. I show no respect either since she did work 5 years as a waitress and that is her only experience before getting in congress. My focus is on that fact. She was not president of the Screen Actors Guild or governor of California. Just to throw an example.
Absolutely love this rally/tour. It could be the sane and focused answer to Trump's nonelection year rallies 2017-2019. Let's make these count! Clarify who DEMS are, who they represent, and what the detailed plan is to restore order and freedom in the US.
Screwing?? SCREWING?? Being held down while are being gang railroaded on Stile Project by MULTI-National Corporations. Please learn the filthy parlance of your so called so loved working class.

Do they really need that extra 20% for another private jet?
Zero sympathy.
She's previously shown willingness to fight. She also has the willingness to admit mistakes and apologize. That is a rare and valuable combination.
People actually believed 2 billionaire gave a flying fuck about the needs of everyday working Americans.
FINALY something meaningful is being done!
it's about time!
What defecting Clinton and Biden voters said again and again in the run up to the last election is that they don’t even recognize our party anymore.
Chuck Schumer’s habitual catering to the Left fringe has driven our party into a ditch.

It's a long road but it's gotta start somewhere.
Actually scare the Billionaires rather than appease them.
