Summary

Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drew 34,000 people to a rally in Denver and 11,000 in Greeley as part of their "Fighting Oligarchy Tour."

They advocated progressive policies and condemned billionaire influence in politics, with Sanders urging resistance to "Trumpism" and oligarchy.

Attendees expressed frustration over economic inequality and corporate influence.

Critics, including Republican Reps. Gabe Evans and Lauren Boebert, dismissed their message as extreme and anti-energy.

Sanders and AOC pledged continued efforts to advance progressive change nationwide.

"They want to know if the people of America are going to stand up to Trumpism, oligarchy," Sanders said to a cheering crowd.

fuck y'all

been nowhere for decades and country been needing a revolution but just now decide to do something acting like MLK

where was this "energy" a decade ago or two or at any time? Trump is just the latest spokesperson and not the only time we faced shit like this

if another rally is held most likely be in a blue state and odds are these two are just opportunistically cashing out like last time

The same day they spoke at a rally in Greeley which is a red city and the crowd was 10,000 out of a city population of 100,000

They have support in both red and blue counties and cities.
