US Vermont senator’s tour with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes has been drawing record-breaking crowds since February
The Vermont senator Bernie Sanders drew a record-breaking crowd at his rally in Los Angeles on Saturday, which included musical acts from Joan Baez and Neil Young, who encouraged the crowd to “take America back”.
Sanders’s Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go from Here tour has been drawing massive crowds. Aided by the progressive New York representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the team set the record in Tempe, Arizona, for biggest-ever political rally in that state three weeks ago. In Denver, Colorado, more than 34,000 people showed up – a career-high crowd for the 83-year-old Sanders. Saturday in Los Angeles saw another record: at least 36,000 people packed a downtown park.
Run as an Independent (which he is anyway, he only caucuses with the Dems) and split the vote. In 2016 it wouldn’t have even mattered. Then maybe they wouldn’t have undermined him before Super Tuesday 2020 when he had destroyed Biden in IA bit the DNC put out rumors that SC was going to overwhelmingly vote Biden.
Then also maybe they wouldn’t have pushed Kamala, without so much as a single primary vote (in 2020 or 2024).
Anyway that’s water under the bridge. Do you honestly think the DNC will let either of these 2 run for president, regardless of the support they get? If so, be prepared for disappointment like Bernie Bros in 2016 and 2020.
