Where’s AOC? Bernie Sanders’ new ‘Fight the Oligarchy’ tour is missing socialist sidekick (only 5.62 years left)

Bernie Sanders took his “Fighting the Oligarchy” tour back on the road this weekend, but there was one noticeable guest missing.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ name was nowhere to be found on the latest tour dates announced on social media Thursday by the socialist Vermont Senator.

The lefty pair made headlines when they rallied across the country this spring, fueling rumors of a future presidential run by the Bronx/Queens Congresswoman.

But it now looks like AOC might have to do without the private jets, at least for a little while.

Rising lefty star and new Squad member Greg Casar (D-Texas) is touring alongside Sanders instead.

“This fight is between the billionaires and everyone else. And we’re organizing everyone else,” Casar, who chairs the Congressional Progressive Caucus, posted on X Friday to promote rallies in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma this weekend.

It is unclear if AOC got the boot from Sanders, or if she simply bowed out.

“It’s the nature of the tour,” a spokesperson from Sanders’ campaign told The Post, refusing to elaborate.

Maybe because a $15,000 per hour private jet isn't good enough for the socialist bartender.

The funny part is, we actually were an oligarchy 2021-24 with a politburo managing a titular executive, incapacitated Joe Biden.

Maybe Sanders invited her to “feel the Bern,” and she bailed.

She’s busy helping her best friends ‘ILLhan 0mar’ and ‘Ratshita Taliban’ build bomb vests in retaliation for the Iran nuclear facility bombing.

Sanders supports Israel in the war.
AOC supports Iran in the war.

There’s the problem right there.
They’re not getting together any time soon.

Didn’t the Democrat Socialists kick AOC out last summer because she wasn’t anti-Semitic enough? I’m not joking look it up.

Are you sure you’re not talking about Beto’s horse? Though she could compete against mort horses.
