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).

TY for that and all you do, Jason.

This is a great idea. If our media won’t tell the story let other media outlets pick it up.

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. 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.

I suspect a lot of name Democrats will be touring once the GOP tax cut bill is released. ---Jason

This is a great movement spearheaded by Senator Bernie Sanders & Congresswoman AOC!

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

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!

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

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.

This is a very much needed movement. Hopefully Trump and Musk will be held liable for their corruption, lies, and illegal attempts to undermine our government agency’s

We should have these rallies all over the country and develop working groups to develop a democratic budget and democratic priorities that can be communicated everywhere. The party has a very low approval rate so instead of just complaining lets put something together and market it.
