#AOC & #BernieSanders should be getting booed at their #FightingOligarchy rallies more!

Yes totally, the #Dems are just forced to be genocidal #imperialists, & it's OK to support their genocidal #imperialism cuz they really don't wanna do it deep down.
Do you understand Bernie’s job yet?
It's fundraising for the Democratic Party by appealing to progressives using leftist dog-whistles.
And with his Oligarchy Tour it looks like he's ready to pass that same old grifting baton over to AOC.

Indeed, #billionaires are only a tiny fraction, maybe 0.0001%, of the #capitalist class. #Occupy was right, it really is the top 2% (& their supporters) who are the problem.
The " #billionaire class" does not exist. #Capitalists are the problem. Most of the country's capitalists, & the #wealthy #corrupt #politicians who pander to them, are not billionaires.
Pretend opposition to the " #billionaire class" by #liberals like #BernieSanders & #AOC is an intentional diversion of #workingclass energy & #classstruggle away from the real problem, which is #capitalism & the broader #capitalist class as a whole.
#AOC is a perfect example of how easy it is to say the right thing when you don't have to follow through with anything you propose or claim to stand for.
#AOC is such a champion of the people that even #Dem adjacent #DSA went to the trouble & public humiliation of un-endorsing her!
What a fighter!

Weird how someone that claims to oppose #oligarchs sure likes hanging out with them at their own events!

#Biden had more than 90 #billionaires supporting him in 2020. Both #AOC & #BernieSanders couldn't wait to endorse him in 2024 & vigorously pushed back against calls for him to drop out after his horrid debate performance when #liberals turned on him.
Here's your champion against the #oligarchy. Couldn't even take a principled stand against #genocide. #BernieSanders still won't acknowledge that what's happening in #Gaza actually is a #genocide.
Over 30,000 people in #Denver showed up to a rally spearheaded by 2 #democratic #socialists, but both parties will keep pretending that #Americans aren't hungry for a real change.
I really wish so many people weren’t falling for this controlled-opposition horseshit.
#AOC, #BernieSanders & the rest of the #Progressives had the power to help stop a #genocide & instead chose to put her whole heart into endorsing & helping those who are committing it.
She’s not a good person; she's a fucking politician.
The media is quiet about the fact that Bernie Sanders is selling out massive venues with rallies all over the Midwest right now. He's not running for President, he's just telling people the truth and it's resonating with MOST Americans. While the Democratic leadership is selling out the American people, progressives are seeing a chance to get their popular message out. If Bernie backs a candidate for the next POTUS, they have a good chance.
Democrats need to stay to the left and fight for the poor, the middle class, and the average working family.
Here is a recording of an interview and audience questions of my Congressional Representative Pramila Jayapal with Mehdi Hasan on Zeteo. I'm not sure whether you can access it (I'm a subscriber), but if you can, you get why we appreciate her. She is thoughtful, progressive, strategic and energetic.

Elon Musk Is Trying to Buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court
“His attack on democracy isn’t limited to gutting the federal government. He wants it all.”

"a #DarkMoney group backed by #Musk, is spending at least $1.6 million in support of #Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel, a conservative judge in suburban Milwaukee running for an open seat in an April election that will decide whether #progressives or #conservatives control the #court."
I'm not a fan of Rachel Shabi and disagree with her a lot, including with parts of this article. But she is circling an important recognition of the left ceding the ground of antisemitism to the right. To all our detriment.
"With the #farright in ascendancy across the world, #Jewish people turned to leftist movements that had long served as our political homes—and found them not only lacking the language to speak to what was happening but also often mired in ignorance over #antisemitism. As American communications specialist Sharon Goldtzvik told me: “We as #progressives should be leading on the issue of antisemitism, but it has become a critical vulnerability, rather than a critical strength.’” This Achilles heel has been seized upon by the #rightwing, derailing #progressive #movements and thwarting efforts at social, economic, and climate #justice across the world."

You know you don't have to call the #GulfOfMexico the #GulfOfAmerica. just don't do it. Keep calling it the gulf of mexico. you don't have to do things just because your #fascist government tells you to
