Is this the start of something important in America?

[Politruk]

There is a whole new Communist movement getting started -- but I don't expect that will lead anywhere, it never does. It is merely interesting that it is starting now -- symptomatic of something.

What is more promising is the enormous turnouts Bernie and AOC are getting on their Fighting Oligarchy Tour.

That could herald the beginning of a left-populist movement that will take over the Democratic Party like the Tea Party/Trumpers took over the GOP.

And a Democratic Party in that formation can win!

Yes, when the genuinely progressive part of the party refuses to be silenced, that makes all the difference.

Ordinarily those are simply ignored because the PTB -- the party's big donors -- don't see them as worth resisting.

But that could change.

Isn't Bernie like a hundred?

Bernie himself will never be president. (Even if he were younger, America is not ready for a president who sounds more like a New York Jew than Woody Allen does.) But he may be instrumental in starting a movement that sweeps AOC or someone politically like her into office.

Sanders mocks Trump’s crowd size at 100th-day event in Michigan

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday mocked President Trump over the crowd size at an event in Michigan celebrating his first 100 days in office the day prior.

“Congratulations to President Trump for drawing 4,000 people last night to a rally Warren, MI. Keep it up,” Sanders wrote in a post on the social platform X. “You brought out almost half as many people as we did in the same city last month!”

“Americans are fighting back against authoritarianism and attacks on the working class.”

Sanders was criticizing the turnout at the rally Trump held Tuesday in Macomb County to celebrate his first 100 days back in office.

Trump began his speech by mentioning Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.) rallies across the country in opposition of his administration.

Ocasio-Cortez poked at Trump online after he claimed his crowd was bigger than that of the Democrats.

“Tell me we’re in his head without telling me we’re in his head,” she wrote in a post online.

Bernie and AOC are drawing crowds in the tens of thousands -- in red states!
