Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders have been on a Fight Oligarchy tour.

I think history is going to remember AOC's 'We are not powerless' speech. This is some watch:

Back home, Sanders made this 'Bad News / Good News' address:

Matti Järvinen reshared this.

Waiting for someone to come back at me and mention that she doesn't actually say that slogan in this speech... Made you watch... But isn't misquoting historical speeches sort of the norm? The slogan is very much the theme of the speech however, it is in the caption, and she does say it in another version of this speech. Also, sorry, I misremembered.

What she does say however:

That we have to get rid of Big Money out of politics.

That we need a Democratic party that actually fights for people, that congress people who don't should be booted out, but that this means that voters should vote at every opportunity for those Democrats that will stand up for people.

That believing that a minimal wage should cover the cost to live, and that illness shouldn't cause bankruptcy, is common sense, not something out of a communist manifesto.

That she welcomes everybody who will fight for someone they don't know.

That the fabric of community is what can defeat fascism.

(Yeah, we're literally calling it that now)
