"Say what you want about Trump, but he’s known to speak in simple and plain language. Does this make him dumb? I would counter that it makes him accessible.
Does this mean that Sanders and AOC should stop talking about oligarchy? Among their college-educated base, I see no reason why it’s a particularly bad idea. They understand the language and it resonates with them.
There’s also some polling out there from a progressive polling firm showing that most Americans can identify the definition of oligarchy when presented with a multiple-choice question. This isn’t the best polling design in the world, but it’s possible that Sanders and AOC have had some luck in popularizing the term.
But Democrats and progressives need to stop thinking that everyone in America has a college degree and follows every bit of minutiae in the news. Republicans tend to use simpler language, and it’s no surprise that they’ve won the working class’s votes for several elections in a row now. They speak more like ordinary people than Democrats do.
It’s not dumb to not understand every word in the English dictionary. What would be dumb is politicians insisting that we use words that people don’t understand in order to persuade them."

Let every protest grow larger, let every protest grow more serious, let every protest grow more peaceful.
Bigger, more, kinder.
Nice little example of your average #berniebro (replying to me).
#CovertRacism is rampant among #berniebros. I've debated with thousands of them since 2016.

“I think the American people are not quite as dumb as Ms. Slotkin thinks they are,” Sanders said."
Ope!
#EissaSlotkin is pissing me off…
Ever since I voted for her.
I know see was more establishment but…
The #LakenRiley Act?
She voted…yea?
Recently, she cowardly…attacked #aoc & #bernie
& she insulted #michigan voters to do it!
(Folks won’t understand #oligarchy ? Really ?
Petty much?
Attacking other Dem’s…gaining momentum…
This. Is. Not. Helpful.
I’m regretting my vote…
I’ll bet I’m not alone.
#Bernie Sanders, draws massive crowds in #RedStates on #anti-Trump tour
As the mother and son approached an aging college basketball arena in Salt Lake City, the mass of people seemed way too big for the #BernieSanders #rally they were planning to attend in one of the most #conservative states in the country.
We’re not used to that in a place like Utah,

AWOL #GOP Congress Critter Kevin Kiley, who is too frightened to hold a town hall, just watched #AOC and #Bernie and then Eric Swalwell hold People's Town Halls in his district. Here he accuses AOC of his own cowardice.
As I noted at the time, she was right there in Folsom with 30,000 of his constituents (out of a city of 85,000, according to Bernie's Ig). If he really wanted to debate her he could have shown up.
Or he could have, y'know, HELD A TOWN HALL.

'Truly courageous of AOC to read lines attacking me from behind a teleprompter. I renew my invitation to debate the Congresswoman at any time or place."

Understanding the aesthetics of oligarchy can help us to see where their power comes from and maybe even do something about it....
Bernie Sanders and AOC filled a 13,000 seat arena to capacity for their “Fighting Oligarch Tour” in Nampa, Idaho.
Idaho!
#USpolitics #Republicans at #Bernie 's
As the Trump admin [disciples] are trying to gaslight you into believing that 'those are all paid democcrats' [by Soros no less] it is really refreshing to see who shows up at the #FightOligarchy -rallies in those RED states.
They turn out to be Republican voters [that can still think for thenselves].

We asked Republicans in Bakersfield, CA about why they decided to come out for our Fighting Oligarchy rally. Here’s what they had to say:
#USbeware #FascistsAreHere
#TimeToResist #FightOligarchy
#WorkersUnite #UnionStrong
#AbusiveHealthcare #CapitalismIsFailingYou
@mls14 @bebadefabo @mmalc @dragonsidedd
i'm well versed on the #bernie loathing out there
i consider such loathing misdirected
bernie in the general would have beaten #trump in 2016
the loathing should be directed at all that out there that prevented the matchup
that's our enemy
centrist #democrats need to be shivved and shoved off a pier (figuratively speaking)
the last 10 years is a mistake
it should have been bernie
#AOC:
you're up

@bebadefabo @mmalc @dragonsidedd
so we don't sideline them
and by "we" i don't mean this notion of an omnipotent #democrat centrist grip on the party. that doesn't exist. they're weak
by "we" i mean us who are going to mob #primaries2026
right?
are you listening out there?
#bernie and #aoc own the future of the #democratic party
whoever opposes this in the dems only delays the inevitable and causes more #maga damage in the meantime

The Fighting Oligarchy Tour featuring U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was held on Wednesday at the Adams Center."
This opinion is absolutely correct. There's no hope in expecting anything really good will come from the Democratic Party.
"Sanders has been mixing his support for Israel in with periodic
criticisms of Netanyahu and the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza, always taking care to make his criticisms about the behavior of Israel’s current leadership and not the nature of the racist apartheid state itself.
Sanders is doing this for two reasons. Firstly, he is working to galvanize a big tent inclusive coalition of Democrats in opposition to Trump, and he wants that big tent to include people who think genocide is bad and people who think genocide is fine. He doesn’t want to offend the pro-genocide liberals.
Secondly, Sanders is doing this because he himself is a Zionist. Like other liberal Zionists, Bernie Sanders upholds a vision of an Israel that has never, ever existed: one which remains an ethnostate dominated by Jews, but which conducts itself in a kind and just manner, without constantly murdering and abusing Palestinians.
This iteration of the state of Israel is a fiction. An imaginary fantasyland, like Narnia. Everything about Israel is stacked against the possibility of such a status quo ever emerging, and Israel has always done everything it can to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state. By pretending it is possible to have the Zionist entity and also have peace and justice, liberal Zionists help manufacture public consent for continuing to feed weapons to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel."

Watching the #FreePalestine demonstration at the #Bernie rally in Montana was enlightening, and his response was... interesting: a "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" moment, except behind this curtain is the ugly US empire as what it is: an empire. It's inadvisable to try to reform an empire.
