Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are barnstorming the country with rallies that look a whole lot like campaign events. Their “Fighting Oligarchy Tour” has drawn big crowds in swing states like Colorado and Arizona. But conservatives see this as a desperate move by out-of-touch liberals to stir up class envy instead of offering real solutions.
The Sanders-AOC roadshow pushes the same old socialist ideas – higher taxes, bigger government, and attacks on successful Americans. They’re calling billionaires like Elon Musk the enemy while ignoring how free markets lift people out of poverty. Ben Shapiro blasted their approach, saying they’d rather “punish success” than fix problems.
These rallies feel like a preview of the 2028 Democrat primary. With President Trump dominating politics, Democrats are scrambling to find a leader. AOC is positioning herself as the face of their radical wing, but most Americans reject her extreme policies. Shapiro mocked their strategy, calling Sanders and AOC “useless” for normal working families.
The tour stops in Republican-leaning districts, trying to flip seats by blaming “oligarchs” for everything. But Coloradans saw through this last election when they booted Democrat Yadira Caraveo for common-sense Republican Gabe Evans. Voters want safe streets and good jobs, not lectures about corporate greed.
Sanders claims this isn’t about running for office again. That’s probably smart – his 2020 presidential dreams crashed hard. Now he’s just a hype man for AOC’s ambitions. Their partnership shows how today’s Democrats care more about Twitter hashtags than kitchen-table issues.
Real leaders focus on uniting Americans, not dividing them into “lions vs. scavengers” like AOC’s creepy rants. President Trump’s policies created record jobs and energy independence. Meanwhile, Sanders and AOC want to wreck the economy with green New Deal fantasies and anti-business regulations.
The left’s obsession with “oligarchy” is pure projection. Coastal elites like AOC fly private jets while lecturing regular folks about carbon footprints. Hollywood liberals make millions peddling woke garbage like the failed “Snow White” remake. They’re the real out-of-touch ruling class.
This tour proves the Democrat Party has no positive vision. When they’re not impeaching Trump or pushing censorship, all they offer is envy and anger. Americans see through the socialist smokescreen – that’s why Trump keeps winning, and why the left keeps losing.
