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.

      No, you are so right, why have rallies at all, when we can just let everyone think they are alone in their opposition to fascism. What’s the point of letting the media and politicians know the current administration does NOT have a mandate.

      Rallies unite and focus people. People meet at these rallies, become friends, form groups, etc.

      There is none. Bernie has passed the torch to AOC whose politics are subordinate to the democrats.
