Bernie Sanders launched the next round of his “fighting oligarchy” tour Saturday in Los Angeles, where he and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) drew thousands of people to a park across from City Hall as they advanced their effort to build a “working class movement.”
Get ready to pivot to different leftists when he just tells us to vote for Hillary again.
Neoliberalism will not save us from their rich doners
Or Liz Warren comes on stage again to publicly stab him in back while beaming at the cameras.
Love the message and I get that he’s trying to shift the popular view and this isn’t a bad place to do it
But Coachella isn’t exactly filled with your average “working class” folks. Tickets start at $600 per person.
I think it’s pretty important to get this message to people who bought $600 tickets too. Those people likely had to work to pay for those tickets and cannot survive without working. That meets my definition of working class just fine. We need to stop cutting ourselves into smaller and smaller pieces.
I agree they need to hear the message. Just a bit of a stretch from the normal “working class” definition. I have a feeling a huge portion if not possibly a majority of attendees there have/had trust funds. They’re hardly paycheck to paycheck.
They’re dropping $1000+ per person for a concert, all said and done (food at places like this is crazy, travel costs, etc).
That said, you are absolutely right we shouldn’t divide ourselves up and I’m glad he was there. Just meant to observe the irony in the headline.
Hey Bennett, here’s a wild idea — how about Democrats at least pretend to adopt a popular platform.
I wish establishment democrats spent one tenth the energy they use fighting their own progressives on republicans.
Please, Bernie, don’t fly anywhere. Rent a bus, or better yet, just drive yourself.
I find it ironic that you shared a Washington Post(News outlet that is owned by Jeff Bezos,CEO of Amazon) article that is talking about Bernie Sanders supporting the working class.
Just Wow. The capitalist news outlet that is owned by real life villain.
Note the scare quotes around “working class.”
It was kind of weird that they had someone on stage singing who thinks they are a 12year old German boy whose parents were Holocaust survivors.
I’m gonna need a bit more context here lol
