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.”
Sanders doesn’t do it by moving to the right. He does it by messaging to the working class.
Based on what I’m hearing coming from the Democrats lately, I also feel like this could be argued it’s also Sanders trying to reconcile with his party (by showing them how fucking dumb they’re being by doubling down on their anti-left nonsense)
His party? He’s not a democrat. You can tell because he’s not throwing up his hands and gleefully announcing that there’s nothing he can do.
They certainly seem keen to disown him. Bloody idiots
