Summary
Senator Bernie Sanders will visit Wisconsin next week for rallies in Kenosha and Altoona, targeting Republican-held congressional districts to boost Democratic turnout before the April 1 state election.
His visit comes as Wisconsin voters prepare to decide control of the state supreme court, a race that will be viewed as an indicator of sentiment about Trump’s first months back in office.
Sanders aims to pressure GOP Representatives Steil and Van Orden on social program cuts and challenge what he calls “the country’s move toward authoritarianism.”
Both Republican congressmen criticized Sanders’ visit, with Van Orden calling him a millionaire who “has never worked an honest day.”
The strategy is wildly different. Kamala did reach out by abandoning popular positions and instead focusing on virtue signalling garbage “I own a gun” “look at how tough on crime I am” “Liz Cheney likes me”.
Bernie’s message is different. It’s M4A and worker’s rights. He’s not putting out different messaging from what he’s always pushed for.
You want to say it’s because he’s a man, but that’s not it. AOC and Elizabeth Warren both have similar messages and both are fairly well received.
Kamala’s messaging failed because like Hilary it was essentially “Trump is bad, you have to vote for me” and nothing else. She failed to present any sort of plan for the US. I mean, FFS, she spent part of the campaign doing “me too” to Trump policies like no tax on tips.
