The two progressive lawmakers have addressed massive crowds in solidly red states including Idaho and Utah in recent days, as party of the national Fighting Oligarchy Tour.

A survey taken by Harvard's Center for American Political Studies and Harris between April 9-10 found that 72% of Democratic voters supported politicians like Sanders (I-Vt.) and Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), "who are calling on Democrats to adopt a more aggressive stance towards Trump and his administration and 'fight harder'," rather than leaders who are willing to "compromise" with President Donald Trump.

If 72% of Democrats want to drop centrist approach then go vote for a progressive in the primaries you bunch of non-voting assholes.

Yeah I’m expecting the dnc to double down with Kamala and maybe Pete as a running mate.

When you say DNC are you talking about tens of millions of registered voters? Because that's who picks the candidates.

it's all about trump and nothing to do with ending the oligarchical regime that enables the genocide.

Bernie Sanders has been fighting oligarchy since before Trump and is Jewish and pro-Palestine.

Unfortunately MAGA runs every branch of the US government right now, so it's impossible to do anything without taking on MAGA first.
