Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called for Democrats to elect “brawlers” who fight for the working class to counter GOP power and oppose policies endorsed by figures like Elon Musk.

Speaking alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders in Las Vegas, she criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for not filibustering a GOP spending bill and labeled the decision a “tremendous mistake.”

Ocasio-Cortez urged voters to support candidates willing to take bold stances.

She continues her “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with Sanders across Nevada, Colorado, and Arizona.

    Don’t forget Bernie, he’s been going around the country holding how to fight the oligarchy rallies

      Yeah 😢 It’s sad that an 83 year old is one of our strongest fighters. I believe he is also not seeking reelection.

        He’s not far off my mother’s age and she’s doing great so I have that to compare to but jaaayyysus… I would not want to be fighting as hard as he is at his age. Man deserves some rest.

      No. He’s been holding “please fight the oligarchy” rallies while saying little to nothing on how.

        From what I’ve read, he’s being pretty clear about primarying moderate “Democrats” and voting out Republicans.

          Yes, which is… Not helpful. If that worked on its own America wouldn’t be here. There are massive obstacles all over that he’s just ignoring, and it’s that part of the equation that I’d call the “how”; voting people you like into office is just the victory lap.
