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.”

    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.
