Social Are you starting to feel the Bern?

His message for a long time, "Down with the bourgeoisie!" Smacks of hypocrisy when seeing his campaign contributions.
No it doesn't unless you are listening to right wing lies.

Bernie took 0 dollars from any super packs.

What the lying Republicans did is add up how much doctors, nurses, nurses aids etc contributed to him and then pretended that was a super pack even though they were individuals and had no connection to one another.
 
The crowds are growing....




It’s a dark time for left-of-center Americans. The Democratic Party’s reputation is in tatters, even with its own base. Progressive activists and groups are protesting President Donald Trump’s authoritarian seizure of the federal government’s administrative operations, but their crowds lack the size and vigor of his first term.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has stepped into the void with a national “Stopping Oligarchy” tour. He’s visiting Republican-held districts in swing states and red states, and he’s drawing big and energetic crowds with little lead-up time. “He drew a crowd of 4,000 in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Friday night. He faced another 2,600 or so the next morning a few hours away in Altoona, Wisconsin, a town of less than 10,000 residents,” The Associated Press reports. “And his crowd of 9,000 in suburban Detroit exceeded his own team’s expectations.”

The popularity of Sanders’ tour is an indicator that, even during a time of rock-bottom morale on the left, there remains an appetite for combative and progressive populism. And while Sanders’ speeches sound a lot like the ones he’s delivered his entire career, their enduring popularity suggest a model the Democratic Party establishment needs to emulate to pull out of its tailspin.

Sanders’ anti-oligarchy tour is a kind of return to form for the independent and democratic socialist. Between the end of his 2020 presidential campaign and Joe Biden’s departure from the White House, Sanders was absorbed into the Democratic Party establishment and served primarily as a surrogate for Biden’s Build Back Better agenda. Now he’s looking quite a lot like he did as an insurgent presidential candidate. That isn’t to say that Sanders has White House ambitions in 2028 — he’s 83 years old and says his current term is likely his last in the Senate. But he is returning to what he knows best: gravitating toward the people and stoking grassroots energy.

There are a few things Sanders is doing well that Democrats in Washington ought to pay attention to. Sanders is using the theme of oligarchy and class domination as an overarching message. “We are here to say loudly and clearly that in our great nation we will not accept oligarchy,” Sanders said to the roaring crowd in Kenosha last week. “We will not accept authoritarianism. We will not accept kleptocracy. We’re here to make it clear that we are going to fight back and we are going to win.”


I love Bernie but he’s old as dirt and there is nobody coming behind him to carry the torch the way he has.

I don’t see Americans supporting anyone rational at this point. Red districts are full of Trump cultists. Brave of Bernie to bring his rallies there. Who will do that after him?
 
when the dem's tanked Bernie they chose barrabas and I knew at the time it would eventually lead to violence in the streets and extreme hardship. that was the time of choosing and our country chose trump.

bernie is the leader of the democratic party that the elite dem's don't want and cant allow.

The Democratic Party only exists to keep people like Bernie from assuming power. They have no other goals. They lost affirmative action, didn’t care. Lost a woman’s right to choose - oh well. Lost the battle against climate change - burn baby burn. Gay marriage is next. They have no real policy victories to speak of since Jimmy Carter.

They are only there to control and bury the Bernie types. That’s the one thing they have gone all out to do because it’s the only thing they care about.
 
lol the bern wants that shitbag elected

 
An anti-oligarchy tour sounds cool and all, but do you have anyone that isn't 1,000 years old?
Unfortunately, the young lefties largely gave up on trying to fix the economy so that they could focus on pronouns instead.
