Sen. Bernie Sanders, joined by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has drawn record crowds on his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour, criticizing Trump and Musk for pushing government cuts and warning of a billionaire-driven oligarchy.
Sanders advocates for Democrats to reclaim working-class support by addressing income inequality, healthcare, and climate change.
Amid backlash against Trump’s chaotic governance, Sanders’ populist message resonates across the political spectrum, even as Democrats face low approval ratings.
Some party leaders, like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are beginning to adopt similar rhetoric to challenge Republican policies.
I hope Walz and Sanders + AOC are at least talking to each other. I get it if they’re keeping it behind the scenes for now, but I do hope they’re communicating. They’re broadcasting on roughly the same wavelength, hitting roughly the same points.
None of them are fighting the oligarchy. There are several speaking out against it right now but none have the power to fight it apparently...
One of the biggest problems with our system of government is that change has to be brought from inside. You have to use the machine to beat the machine, and it's very specifically designed that way to be as difficult as possible to change.
