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.

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.

Bernie is there to allow you to vent out your anger and usher you back in line with the corporate democrats.

This is serving far right conspiracy theory.

Dems are straight up too incompetent to use populist rhetoric. Like, if manipulating people was going to be the plan, fucking skip Bernie all together and just have Kamala do the populist speeches instead of Bernie. Or if Bernie was the inside puppet all along, why wouldn’t you just make Bernie the candidate.

I think Bernie is a genuine person (which the Dems mostly hate) who has done more to spread class consciousness and solidarity against billionaires than anyone in the current millennium, certainly more than you, hundreds of times over.

Bernie and AOC’s movement is literally called “Fighting Oligarchy”. Not “Fighting Trump”.

Yup. Trump may be king, but his crown has the puppet strings of Thiel and company attached. There is no point in getting rid of Trump, if he is replaced with a more capable Pinocchio.

I’m in the same boat as you, hoping, but if 2016 and this past November have taught me anything, it is that most Americans have the memory of goldfish as soon as election times come around.

Gonna keep my fingers crossed though!

2024 Democrats defended the DNC going full 2016 so you bet the DNC will go full 2016 in 2028.

Trumps ratings are tanking so the Democrats can run a dog turd and win.

I’d bet real money they’ll try to run Shapiro. They dont see a terrible republican competitor as a must-win competition, they see it as a chance to run the worst dem they can possibly get away with.

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

I’m talking about the rich Democrats who donate to the super PAC that decides what laws Democrats will be pushing, the people who decide that Dems shouldn’t tax the 1 percent more aggressively.

The people making Democrats lean towards being centrist in reality, but yeah the tens of millions of registered voters decided like you said my mistake.

Pete will lose the 2028 election to JD Vance using the Abundance Agenda strategy. Dems will say “I guess America is too xenophobic for a gay president.”

Strategically! Look, I know it’s not great, but we had to do it to avert a government shutdown, because that’s what Trump really wanted and we’re not gonna play his game!

The actual question that 72% of Democrats support:

Do you support more Democrats like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who are calling on Democrats to adopt a more aggressive stance towards Trump and his administration and “fight harder”, or moderate Democrats who are willing to compromise on Trump issues important to their base?

The question is “do you want to fight Trump more” not “do you support AOC and Bernies progressive agenda”.

Link to the actual poll results.

It’s interesting that they explicitly, rather than implicitly, chain compromise with Trump to the moderates, and fighting Trump to the progressives. Without that, that number might have even been higher. This reads to me like a solid condemnation of the moderates.

Also of the democratic party by a certain reading since Bernie is an independent and AOC is a Bernie plant hehe 72% would prefer more people outside the current party line.
