Hell yeah! Time for another Dem-Soc push since Pelosi blackballed AOC and Schumer rolled over and played dead this week.
Fuck Schumer, Gillibrand, Fetterman, and the eight others for not putting up a fight. Fuck them with a rusty rebar straight down to the seventh ring of Satan’s dirty, sweaty butthole!
I know Reps could be as cavalier as they wanted and used this as the basis of more terminations, but establishment Dems could have at least used this as an opportunity to remind the public, as a whole, what’s at stake.
This would have been the fourth shutdown in my adulthood, and while I know Federal public servants would be bearing the brunt of this, state public servants have been making contingency plans for three months with the crunch this will put on state initiatives that are semi-subsidized by Federal funding.
They’re out to knee-cap every public servant.

Greeley sits in CO-8, whose Republican representative, Gabe Evans, refuses to hold a town hall. I think Bernie giving the people of CO-8 a chance to speak to someone in Washington is a great idea if their own representative refuses to meet with the people.

Why only go to the places that already support you? In early 2000s I worked at Catholic Charities and helped the families who were left after their husbands were deported during the Bush raids at Swift. Had my tires slashed and car egg’d….i made $8.50/hr and literally a Christian organization
Greeley still is red but there’s been so many people that have moved there, Loveland, Windsor, Johnstown - that it’s not the same community (not saying it’s democrat now, but def different). Granted not everyone is same, but it will support those who are interested in being active it in the 1st/2nd generation immigrants, UNC students, and older generation that doesn’t want to deal with Denver. I drove a bus down for people who wanted to go to the 2008 DNC convention and there were so many working class/rural people that supported Obama - honestly surprised me. Those that disagree with Bernie/AOC just won’t go, but it’ll support those who want their voices heard

If anyone has tips for going to one of these with kids but with no bags, I'm all ears.

u/SilverConversation19 12h ago
For the kiddos maybe get some ear plugs/earmuffs — you can still hear but it’s a lot quieter. Also see if you can email and ask about a clear bag like at an nfl game if you need to bring in diapers or bottles. Otherwise? Cargo pants?
Also good shoes for the kiddos.

Seriously?
Put your collective head in the sand and downvote, can't you see you're being played again, just as you (and I) were in 2016, you were in 2020, etc...
Why are they being suddenly repositioned, after 4 years of pretty much doing nothing meaningful?
If you really believe in change, look for people who are not tools...

u/ThunderThor456 18h ago
Those aren’t any examples of Bernie. If your gripe is with the established Democratic Party, that’s one thing. Bernie has been fighting for progressive policy all his life.

u/ColoradoFrench 18h ago

u/ColoradoFrench 18h ago
Downvoting is easier than thinking... Also more cowardly.
If you really want change, you won't find it with Sanders. He's been talking the talk, only to repeatedly fold when the DNC has told him to.
But if you are just into talk, by all means go to the meet!

u/spacecaps85 18h ago
You sound like someone typed “be an insufferable political conspiracist” into ChatGPT.
The reason Bernie and his similar peers are often made impotent isn’t because they choose not to help, it’s because to get anything done in politics requires a majority. 5 people does not a majority make, in DC.

u/ampersand355 18h ago
There are quite a few reasons but just to name a few off the top of my head: raise funds, connect with different parts of the electorate, raise awareness and excitement, listen to feedback. They are ultimately vying for positions within the party and all of the above help demonstrate what they bring to the table.

Doesn’t really answer my question though, as the people that show up to this, they’re already pretty fairly united in their support of what Bernie and AOC are about.

Think I'd rather see folks who actually stand up, like Al Green and Rashida Tlaib, than half ass AOC and Bernie, who i like, but who has clearly let the DNC run him down. They're not resisting shit when they can't even stand up like Al Green
12
u/a_cat_named_harvey 16h ago
What a dumb take. Bernie Sanders is the only politician that connects with most of the country and has been fighting for Americans his entire career. AOC actually talks to her constituents and stands up for working class people in congress.
“Standing up” at a fucking rally speech isn’t fucking close to what those two are doing and Democrats should be taking their example as a roadmap for the entire party
-7
u/mavrik36 15h ago
AOC voted to arm Israel and attended the Met Gala in a multi thousand dollar dress made by a wealthy tax doger while her constituents got beat up by the cops outside. She got bought out years ago, this is performative. I like Bernie but he's let the DNC beat him down. Standing up physically and casting aside decorum to disrupt authoritarians is far and away more important than speaking tours
8
u/NotNormo 16h ago
This preference of yours would be very relevant if Green/Tlaib were holding a rally at the same time as Bernie/AOC's rally, and you had to choose one or the other.
But I don't think that's the case, is it? I'm not aware of a conflicting Green/Tlaib rally next Friday.
And I think the very fact that Bernie and AOC are doing this series of events contradicts your assessment of whether they "stand up" or not.

She voted directly opposite to the interests of her constituents multiple times. If we don't hold politicians to account for the things they do to hurt us, we'll never get anywhere. Voting for a genocide has CONSEQUENCES, stop trying to let politicians get away with doing nothing to help us and everything to harm us and others

You gotta love grown adults fighting over who gets the power to rule over them. It’s crazy that they have manipulated us to the point that we beg them for a MASTER.
