Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be the avatars of the anti-Trump resistance over the next few days as they cohost major rallies in Nevada, Arizona and Colorado.
Capping a number of solo appearances by each of them around the country, these two prominent voices in the fight back against the Trump regime will appear together in Las Vegas on Thursday afternoon, in Tempe, Ariz., on Thursday evening; in Greeley, Colo., early Friday afternoon; in Denver late Friday afternoon; and in Tucson on Saturday morning.
“Why are we doing that?” Sanders asked in a video announcing the tour. He answered:
We’re doing that because I believe that all over this country people are profoundly disgusted with what is going on here in Washington, D.C. They see our great nation moving toward an oligarchy, where Elon Musk and other billionaires are running the government. They’re seeing the Trump administration moving us toward an authoritarian form of society, usurping the constitutional responsibilities of the Congress, challenging the courts. They’re seeing Republicans in Congress proposing to give massive, massive tax breaks to billionaires, cut back on the needs of our veterans, cut back on Social Security, cut back on Medicaid, cut back on education, so that the rich can become even richer.
Sanders and AOC represent the fighting alternative to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who last week helped pass a GOP-led stopgap funding bill – embodying the Democratic failure to stop Trump’s ravaging of the government and constitutional restraints.
hey, just a quick follow-up from the last thread you opined in: do you have an actual political strategy you’re working to implement, if you’re so critical of literally anyone else doing that work? you never answered my question about that–and, bluntly, if you don’t have one then i don’t know why anyone should value how you feel on subjects like this.
Responding to that post wasn’t worth my time, the only solution liberals ever want to hear is one that only includes keeping the status quo intact. They are a failure at effectively governing and lash out at anyone pointing out the obvious
Are you just a disagree bot programmed with leftist plattitudes? Cause that is what it seems like
okay, so you don’t have an answer or a strategy, and when challenged on that you resort to denigrating people as “liberals” for disagreeing with you. thank you for clarifying that your opinions are worthless.
