Since Donald Trump’s election, his opposition party hasn’t acted much like one. The same cannot be said of Bernie Sanders, who hit the road this weekend in red states in an effort to stoke pushback to Trump’s slash-and-burn plutocratic governance.
“Trumpism is not going to be defeated by inside-the-Beltway politicians,” he said.
I don’t think he has a huge base of people asking him to run for president again. Even being a Bernie bro, I know his chance for that passed back in 2020. Hopefully, we as a society will be ready for the next person who takes up the fight.
Between the two, I like Sanders more…but I want to see AOC on the ballot, not him. And I won’t pretend it’s not ageism - I am so tired of old people running the country.
If AOC was president, Sanders would surely get an important role and continue to do great work. The presidency is a LOT of work, it ages you fast.
I agree. I think the AOC/Trump split ticket proves she has more appeal than we thought. Or at least more than I thought. I suppose I shouldn’t underestimate the power of the change candidate when the system is this broken.
