Summary
Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez condemned Donald Trump and Elon Musk at a packed Arizona rally, accusing them of harming working-class Americans and promoting oligarchy.
Sanders denounced corporate CEOs as “major criminals” exploiting workers, while Ocasio-Cortez called for stronger Democratic leadership.
Rallygoers urged Ocasio-Cortez to challenge Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer after he supported a Republican funding bill.
The rally, part of Sanders’ “Stop Oligarchy” tour, follows criticism of the Democratic Party’s weak response to Trump’s agenda and features further events in Colorado and Arizona.
Except our country did. He won the popular vote and those who stayed home meant they were fine with him winning.
Just don’t comfort these assholes when they finally regret their decision.
Americans hoard guns like crazy and then act like elections are the be all end all of political reform. It’s idiotic and disgusting.
Right wingers hoard guns. I have been saying for a solid fucking decade that if the left isn’t armed we’re helpless. There’s the SRA and JBGC, but a major part of the democratic platform has been “we’re gonna take your guns” since before I was born. I might go out in a blaze of glory if the brownshirts bring war to my doorstep, but I’m not picking a suicidal fight on my own.
ETA: and yes, the Democrats aren’t left wing. But they are the leftmost viable party we have. And they have been anti-gun for decades. Which means they tend to not own guns and they tend to not organize militias.
You never see right wingers saying shit like this. They are willing to do shit to further their political leaning without any plan for self preservation, and that’s why they are winning with this weird opinion that most people don’t share.
But here you are telling me to go attack the US government. They won because they have billions of dollars backing them and their rivals are ineffectual, not because they are crazy.
Excuses to continue to do nothing.
