Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's mega-rally tour is bringing energy to a party that has been exhausted and furious in the second Trump era.

Dear God 😬🤣. A woman with a 100 IQ, and a geriatric career politician with non-viable dreams of a socialist America. If you want to guarantee a slaughter at the next election then by all means run these two buffoons. Better yet, develop a cohesive economic plan and run competent candidates.
Not for nothing, you chose 100 IQ - meaning she has average intelligence. You don’t need to be a genius to see that when everyone is safe, the whole country prospers. When you’re okay with others feeling pain so you don’t have to, that’s when divide and conquer works really well.
What am I? Someone with an open mind perhaps? Someone who tries to see both sides? Someone who wants to see bipartisanship? Someone who understands that if we don't start finding common ground in this Country we are doomed. I want peace, apparently you don't.
We are lucky to have Bernie and AOC fighting for us. The truth is very powerful against Trump and the GOP have lied to the American people. We need LEADERS who can convince voters that they can make a real difference. Gather in mass, show your strength, stand up for your rights. VOTE! WIN!
They won't be allowed anywhere near the candidacies, though! The Democratic Party glitterati will make sure of that, by closing ranks and picking *their man* next time around... They haven't learned ANYTHING! Business as usual, etc.
Correction: All nonsense be damned. The people want change and they want to be heard. If everyone wins, then EVERYONE wins. Fascism kills markets, kills people, causes suffering, and alienates the country. Bernie and AOC are on the right track. Let’s add some fuel to their fire 🔥🔥
How about we dispense with the hero worship..and this idea that these 2 speak for ANYBODY but their fanclubs or themselves.Neither one has a record of accomplishments in Washington..other than knocking their own Party.Crowds of the already converted mean NOTHING!!!.....
These two are actually messaging AND they’re increasing the amount of people showing up. They are meeting the moment. They are showing the disenchanted that someone hears them. But you can keep detracting from their momentum. It only allows people like me to broadcast their message further 🤷♂️ 🥳 😂
Broadcast to the choir...an 83 year old man's twice rejected ideas..and a desperate, wannabe voice in her Party..,drawing crowds of fanboys, 2 years before an election...as if anyone will even remember them by then. Its your time to waste....
I think the ideas Bernie was talking about can’t be drowned out by the Dems any longer. The real message. The one that talks about the corruption that is in front of the people that are paying attention. And I don’t think AOC is out for clout…
...if they REALLY want to make this about something other than their own careers...how about having ZOOM Town Halls, where they could reach 3 times the people they already are. But no...then their wouldn't be the photo op to post on social media of adoring crowds. Its all self promotion.
Do you understand the power of in person rallies? Why doesn’t Donald just hold zoom rallies? Why didn’t he just pop up a Skype meeting on a Tesla ‘it’s all computer’ and scrap beating the feet? Why do musicians and bands have concerts? It’s just as good if you listen to it on Apple Music, right?
Because that's all hes got..flash..show and HIM! Without that..his message is useless;because he has none! Bernie has done this before..and resulted in 2 losses at the polls. AOC is just looking to build up her following for a run at Schumer's job..with no legislative accomplishments to brag about.
Bernie Sanders made a mistake in 2016 by not focusing more closely and prioritizing his long held popular economic message. This time they're leaning into economic rather than cultural and AOC is on board with it. (prioritization is not abandoning anything BTW)
AOC has multiple ethics violations. Never passed a major bill she sponsored. Focussed on left political ideology, kicked Amazon out of her district, drives a Tesla. Yes a loser.
If that’s “made up”, how about federal and state programs supported by politicians that support low-income and disabled individuals, provide public healthcare, and are funded by revenues from increased taxes on higher income individuals and corporations. So, just him/policies are good?
Of course, he is in the White House because of his minions and other little helpers.
They do the job for him voluntarily, out of their stupidity. Leading.
Togetherness.
People, after seeing and listening to such creatures, prefer Trump.
Understandably.
All good—as long as AOC or Bernie don’t even think of running. They are brilliant empathetic people, but unless Dems want to cosplay losing again, they need a 2028 Bill Clinton type. It’s unfair, but bigotry’s back in vogue thanks to MAGA. In case we haven’t noticed, we are stuck in pre-Obama times.
I think your read of the room is missing that when Obama won the popular vote overwhelmingly, the people voted for Change and empowerment. When Obama won his second term, the people voted for Forward movement. We don’t want Bill, we want young, more ruthless Bernie. Your Danald Tramp hat is showing.
You’re romanticizing Obama without facing how the political terrain has shifted. Slogans don’t flip swing states. What’s more MAGA than ignoring why we keep losing while rolling out the red carpet for conservatives? Wishing doesn’t win elections. Strategy, coalition, and realism do. Get a grip.
I’m not saying Obama delivered, in fact very much did not. His election was a reaction to foreign wars and a lack of domestic social program support. Obama promised that - didn’t wholly deliver. Thus, when someone named Donald Trump walked in with populist rhetoric - Americans
ate it up. The other option WAS going back to pre-Obama Dem party politics and not what the population was calling for. We rejected Trump’s craze in favor of Biden who promised actual populist changes, some of which we got. But that was too little and too late, plus the messaging didn’t
support the facts both positive and negative. Then the whole RunandSwitch Candigate happened along with shit foreign policy again and the country shifted to Trump and “change” again. Americans are calling for “moderation”, we’re calling for making our lives better.

Dems are a waste of resources.
🤷♂️ At least you can admit Trump is a loser:
Me: “Are they both losers then?”
You: “Yes a loser.”
Left political ideology is social economics and equal respect. Seems okay to me, no?
I can't stand Trump as a person. He's scum.
They do the job for him voluntarily, out of their stupidity. Leading.
