Summary

Sen. Bernie Sanders, joined by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has drawn record crowds on his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, criticizing Trump and Musk for pushing government cuts and warning of a billionaire-driven oligarchy.

Sanders advocates for Democrats to reclaim working-class support by addressing income inequality, healthcare, and climate change.

Amid backlash against Trump’s chaotic governance, Sanders’ populist message resonates across the political spectrum, even as Democrats face low approval ratings.

Some party leaders, like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are beginning to adopt similar rhetoric to challenge Republican policies.

      None of them are fighting the oligarchy. There are several speaking out against it right now but none have the power to fight it apparently…

      One of the biggest problems with our system of government is that change has to be brought from inside. You have to use the machine to beat the machine, and it’s very specifically designed that way to be as difficult as possible to change.

      The duopoly has a whole is the oligarchy. There’s nobody in the duopoly that is fighting the oligarchy, they are defending it
