Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has embarked on a multi-state tour in what appears to be the most recent and organized effort to unify the Democratic Party against the Trump administration.
Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, and Sanders, a Vermont Independent and former Democratic presidential candidate, stopped in Nevada on Thursday and will be in Colorado and Arizona on Friday.
The tour is part of Sanders’ “Fighting Oligarchy: What's Next” tour, in which the senator essentially argues the U.S. is headed toward an Oligarchy government as President Trump continues to fill his cabinet and other top-level posts with industry titans including billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, head of the administration's Department of Government Efficiency.
“This isn’t just about Republicans," Ocasio-Cortez told a crowd in Las Vegas, according to NBC News. "We need a Democratic Party that fights harder for us, too."
Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, considered among the most progressive lawmakers on Capitol Hill, are also touring together amid Democratic Party backlash against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for having supplied enough Senate Democrat votes for the passage of a GOP-led, stopgap spending bill earlier this month to avoid a government shutdown.
Ocasio-Cortez did not mention Schumer by name, but the crowd at times broke out into multiple “Primary Chuck” chants – a growing call within the party to challenge Schumer, a fellow New York Democrat, in a 2028 primary should he seek reelection.
At the Las Vegas rally, Sanders said to regain voters' support, the Democratic Party leadership must tell the truth about the influence billionaires have in U.S. politics.
He told CBS News the face of the Democratic Party needs to be "working-class people, young people, people who get their hands dirty, people who may not have graduated college, people who do not have PhDs in economics, people who are struggling to put food on the table. They've got to be involved. We've got to listen to them."
We should be so lucky as to have those two on the 2028 ticket.
THAT’S the ticket! 🤡🤡
Drill baby, drill.
RE: AOC.
She is fatter (still in ideal range, though) with a slightly fuller face and neck. Turns out many others noticed that.

She be livin’ high on the hog as we say in The South...............
They are using the stage name, Colonel Sanders and his Dancing Chicken a la Puerto Rico.
How did they both become multi-millionaires without ever having a real job?
I give them credit for truth in advertising.
They are socialists and they are not pretending otherwise.
Socialists are not going to be winning any swing states in a presidential election.
A old geyser born in Brooklyn and a bartender born in the Bronx will never play in the swing states of middle America.
Probably true but I wonder if it’s low thyroid output.
It takes away my ability to lose weight no matter what even with levothyroxine pills. I struggle to stay within 1-3 pounds the past few years, which is good compared with the sad stories of many who gain and gain.
Hillary was said to be on the other type of hypothyroid medication and some-—not all the FReepers commenting back then-—said that led to the whooping and howling to the ceiling Hillary did more than once, as a side effect.
Ocrazio-Cortex & Sanders are on a multi state $$-tour-$$ to replace all of the USAID $$$ they no longer have access to.
Sanders almost looks like a corpse.
Man, we need term and age limits for holding office.
“ She is fatter (still in ideal range, though) with a slightly fuller face and neck. Turns out many others noticed that.”
Hispanic women have a tendency to gain weight as they age if they don’t work out. My mom (she was Hispanic) fought gaining weight for as long as I can remember.
LOL Now that is one funny meme!
That’s all they have.
Pretty sad.
Meanwhile, Dems with Teslas are growing unhappy with their party (if they can fire a few neurons).
I heard a rumor that Barney Sanders is trying to get “Country Joe and the Fish” back together to tour with them with Beyonce and Willie Nelson.
“Give me an, uh, whatever....................
Maybe she is pregnant?
