The western swing of the Fighting Oligarchy tour contains new guests and speakers as 51,000 people have RSVPed to see Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Is the media covering these events at all? If not, call the BBC and have their reporters cover it as they broadcast to a weekly audience of 74 million in over 200 countries and territories worldwide. We need global partners to see we are trying to stop this and. btw, their reporters are pretty darn good.
Outside of PoliticusUSA? The coverage has been barely a mention. It is a literal mention lasting in some cases less than a minute. As in, "Hey, look at those crowds Sen. Sanders is drawing." They never think that there might be a reason why those people are showing up. Keep reading us here. I've been covering Sen. Sanders and his office since he was Rep. Sanders, and I hope my experience shows on that front.--Jason
If you added up all the protests nationwide it would be a staggering number of protestors. We went from 250, to 350 people proesting at Tillis office. 1st to2nd protest. After that, we had a group of 1000 oeople at a town hall that Tillis would not attend. They sat a cardboard in an empty chair. These people are older usually. About ten ladies madeup a song about Tillis, to mock him. It is on the internet, on FB , bluesky, etc. Was also on msnbc.
My point, I dont think Shumer and company know how big this i, and certainly Maga probably doesn't know. Pretty soon the cart will be pushing the horse (or should I say jack ass).
I wish the Democratic Party would rally. It's a fragmented party at best right now. It's certainly interesting that the only counter-MAGA leaders surfacing are leaders who have in the past not been able to sell their progressive platform. Maybe this its time!
The Democratic Party must either coalesce around Bernie/Progressives or come up with a more evident plan to unite all Democrats behind a single goal...to preserve our democracy. Bernie's "the man!"
There's a graph showing 2000 protests so far, but I'm not sure where that number comes from. 50501 said 288 on March 8th, and lots on presidents day+ vets, federal workers, 400 for NAtl park service and repeating ones at tesla showrooms.
FYI.. For many years polls showed that Bernie Sanders was the MOST POPULAR senator in the country. He’s number 4 right now. So apparently he’s a well loved ‘misfit’!
Then maybe Maga might want to listen. Bernie is one politician that has not changed his tune about what he believes in since day one. Unlike the "Never tRumper" that is now VP. ETC
You are a totally ignorant maggot moron. Trump and company are ruining the country and stealing from you and you thank them for it. “Thank you sir, may I have another”?
I have written to the BBC and asked why there has been no coverage of the civilian protests. I have said there are massive protests planned for 5th April and asked if they will be covered or will they still give coverage to Trump's trampling of democracy.
The goal seems to be to flip the House, and there are less than two dozen swing districts. Going to every state would mean going to a lot of places where there aren't seats up for grabs, and that probably isn't the best use of time and resources. That being said, the tour still hasn't come east or visited the south yet, so there are probably a dozen or more dates to come. There are also a few swing districts in California that Sanders could visit too.---Jason
Yeah I understand. But it would be like going to a rock concert. So energizing when we are all feeling exhausted by the crap happening at lightning speed.
No dawg, you are the one that has it twisted! Stop all of this in fighting and try to come together. Everybody has been positive on this thread, but because you have issues with Senator Sanders & Congresswoman AOC, you have to be insulting to people. But you are entitled to your own opinion.
Your understanding of the low poll numbers for democrats seems limited. It’s not because we think what republicans are doing is okay. It’s because the dems aren’t doing enough! Don’t seem to be fighting hard enough against Trump & Musk abolishing the programs we’ve already paid for (wasting $), stealing our own personal Social Security benefits by nefarious means, stripping Medicaid of funds, taking food from the hungry, dissing our friends and loving on our enemies etc. They are basically just breaking everything! All for tax breaks for the very wealthy. They have no shame; and the dems aren’t doing enough to protect us from the president’s whims and Project 2025s implementation. Chuck Schumer’s (and others) voting ‘yes’ on the CR only helped compel the downward slide.
So to restate: Fresh faces & messaging , Governor’s of Pa & Ky do a good job. We don’t need others who just turn people off cuz too far left & go too far left on fringe issues that turn people off. For many it is just too far off the beaten path. We need people who can consistently carry the message across all states. This is what I took away from your note. If correct, it makes sense for a strategy and one we need to implement now.
We need solid candidates as we move forward. We need to find more who are willing to do this hard work. I think we need to give Bernie & AOC credit in standing up to bring that message across the country. To your point we need others to show a side of the Democratic party that isn’t as far left. We need strong voices to makes sense to a large audience that wears many different hats. My thoughts. It doesn’t mean I won’t keep standing up to what is happening. Thanks for clarifying.
I hear your thought on this subject. I also appreciate you taking the time to share more which brought a different perspective. There is more that I agree with than disagree. Thanks Peter.
I think it’s great and they need to expand it to all around the country! Bernie and AOC, Chris Murphy should join Jasmine Crocket, etc! We need energy and we need truth…not sugarcoated! Our judiciary has failed and our democracy is falling!
The people see what is happening! They want leaders to speak up for working people. The criminals attempting this coup must be stopped. Action is required before it is too late. Let people from all walks of life join together. In Unity, there is Strength!
Thank you to Sanders and AOC --- two individuals with great integrity and compassion who know the value of democracy! America is truly lucky to have them.
Where is Schumer and Jeffries. The Dems should invade all gop territory and deliver the msg about life under the buffoon and the South African wannabe and his muskrat
Jeffries has been doing local events back in New York. I would expect him to get more high profile once the GOP tax cut bill is released. Schumer canceled his book tour because he fears Democratic protesters.--Jason
Sanders is awakening the misinformed in an heroic effort to bring all of us together in a common fight against Oligarchs who are driving Trump and project 2025 for their own power. I support his efforts and all who join him in telling the truth during this constitutional crisis.
Is the media covering these events at all? If not, call the BBC and have their reporters cover it as they broadcast to a weekly audience of 74 million in over 200 countries and territories worldwide.

Senator Sanders is showing the Democrats how to fight back
I wish there were a few more like Ocasio.
TY for that and all you do, Jason.
MSNBC is covering the resistance movement in depth.
Let’s do it ourselves then. Let’s inform through our personal outlets.
What an educated and classy person you are NOT. Save your comments for people who care, buddy. We don’t here.
I reported him
FYI.. For many years polls showed that Bernie Sanders was the MOST POPULAR senator in the country. He’s number 4 right now. So apparently he’s a well loved ‘misfit’!
And doing a fantastic job.
Then maybe Maga might want to listen. Bernie is one politician that has not changed his tune about what he believes in since day one. Unlike the "Never tRumper" that is now VP. ETC
The little Trumptard Incel has his feelings hurt.
Peter, you are a farce!
You are a totally ignorant maggot moron. Trump and company are ruining the country and stealing from you and you thank them for it. “Thank you sir, may I have another”?
The Guardian could cover this. Some of our folks here like @MeidasTouch and others should attend, too. Get this out everywhere!
That would be really good extra coverage, having a Meidas rep there covering these events, since MSM isn’t doing it.
This is a great idea. If our media won’t tell the story let other media outlets pick it up.
I like that idea muchly🤓
and The Guardian!
MSNBC covered this last night, for several minutes Lawrence ODonnell. Rachel Maddow covers protests nightly. So, there’s that…
I am going to follow this up Ema.
I have written to the BBC and asked why there has been no coverage of the civilian protests. I have said there are massive protests planned for 5th April and asked if they will be covered or will they still give coverage to Trump's trampling of democracy.
Please!
Wish they could do this in every state!
The goal seems to be to flip the House, and there are less than two dozen swing districts. Going to every state would mean going to a lot of places where there aren't seats up for grabs, and that probably isn't the best use of time and resources.

Yeah I understand. But it would be like going to a rock concert. So energizing when we are all feeling exhausted by the crap happening at lightning speed.
I suspect a lot of name Democrats will be touring once the GOP tax cut bill is released. ---Jason
Yep that’s what we need right now to slow this crap down.
This is a great movement spearheaded by Senator Bernie Sanders & Congresswoman AOC!
No dawg, you are the one that has it twisted! Stop all of this in fighting and try to come together. Everybody has been positive on this thread, but because you have issues with Senator Sanders & Congresswoman AOC, you have to be insulting to people. But you are entitled to your own opinion.
Peter. Wow! You sound like such a nice guy.
Your understanding of the low poll numbers for democrats seems limited. It’s not because we think what republicans are doing is okay. It’s because the dems aren’t doing enough! Don’t seem to be fighting hard enough against Trump & Musk abolishing the programs we’ve already paid for (wasting $), stealing our own personal Social Security benefits by nefarious means, stripping Medicaid of funds, taking food from the hungry, dissing our friends and loving on our enemies etc. They are basically just breaking everything!

He is trolling , not on our side
Name calling is not an acceptable or rational argument - time to grow up!
Peter who do you suggest ? Here what you are saying who can carry the message at these places you are suggesting?
So to restate: Fresh faces & messaging , Governor’s of Pa & Ky do a good job. We don’t need others who just turn people off cuz too far left & go too far left on fringe issues that turn people off. For many it is just too far off the beaten path. We need people who can consistently carry the message across all states. This is what I took away from your note.

We need strong voices to makes sense to a large audience that wears many different hats. My thoughts. It doesn’t mean I won’t keep standing up to what is happening. Thanks for clarifying.
And Peter, what are you doing about the situation besides complaining?
I hear your thought on this subject. I also appreciate you taking the time to share more which brought a different perspective. There is more that I agree with than disagree. Thanks Peter.
I think it’s great and they need to expand it to all around the country! Bernie and AOC, Chris Murphy should join Jasmine Crocket, etc! We need energy and we need truth…not sugarcoated! Our judiciary has failed and our democracy is falling!
Speaking of Chris Murphy. There are some rumblings that he also will be going on tour. Nothing has been confirmed or announced yet.---Jason
👏🏻…That’s my Senator! Thank you for the sharing🌹
Lucky.
Maybe make it bipartisan with Adam Kinzinger joining.
He’s an excellent voice…nice idea! 🌹
Yes! Absolutely No more sugar coating💯
Thank you, Bernie and AOC. You give me hope!
The people see what is happening! They want leaders to speak up for working people. The criminals attempting this coup must be stopped. Action is required before it is too late. Let people from all walks of life join together. In Unity, there is Strength!
Thank you to Sanders and AOC --- two individuals with great integrity and compassion who know the value of democracy! America is truly lucky to have them.
Great! Hope they go and wake some people up in GOPland in Pennsylvania!
please see a man who has also given me hope-
www.donaldlovesvladimir.com
he had 3 billboard trucks driving around DC with full color graphics of donald and vladimir.
the MEDIA ignored all of them!

I'm going to the one in Las Vegas, tomorrow!
jealous! i was there for two years and there was NEVER anything like this there.

Jeffries has been doing local events back in New York. I would expect him to get more high profile once the GOP tax cut bill is released. Schumer canceled his book tour because he fears Democratic protesters.--Jason
Both are empty suits. So is Gillibrand here in NY. AOC is showing what a New Yorker is supposed to be.
I love this Fighting Oligarchy Tour of Sanders and AOC! We need someone to step into leadership as no one else is seeming to do so.
Awesome! Way to go, Bernie and AOC! You're welcome to come to NC!!!
Great! Wish they could broadcast it.
that would be ideal... wonder if there will be a livestream somewhere, anywhere? anyone?
Sanders is awakening the misinformed in an heroic effort to bring all of us together in a common fight against Oligarchs who are driving Trump and project 2025 for their own power. I support his efforts and all who join him in telling the truth during this constitutional crisis.
The most imortant thing anyone is doing right now. Thank you Bernie and AOC. ❤️
