Progressives: Well, we all showed up at the same place at the same time. Did we win?
Bernie, the best president the USA never had.
...he'd've resoundingly trounced trump if the democratic party hadn't conspired against him in 2016, but if he won the executive the democratic party would have done everything in their power to make sure his administration was no more effectual than carter's...
Problem with Dems - it's still the party of the rich.
They try their hardest to direct the energy towards various more cultural issues as opposed to working people rights.
I was at the rally! I was one of the last people let inside before they closed the gate, and thousands of people that didn't get inside watched and listened from outside of the fencing, so the actual number was more than 34,000.
Here's a photo I took...
And here's Bernie...
Bernie should have won.
Fuck everyone who voted for hillary clinton in the 2016 primary.
They need to be tarred and feathered.
bernie is an independent. according to america you only want two teams, everyone else will get little to no votes.
It is not that we only WANT two teams. It's that we only GET two teams. It's an emergent property of a broken voting system. If somebody in the US says you can't or shouldn't vote for another party, that's their interpretation via some kind of game theory thought process to prevent an even worse choice from winning.
That probably isn't relevant any longer, and it's more clear than ever that the system was never improved because it is a great form of control that parties and individuals won't catch the blame for. Thus all the discussion of "alternative" methods of political change.

I fear for her safety. I hope she stays safe.
Form a new party!!! Don’t call it Labor or Labour. Don’t call it Green. Don’t call it progressive. Don’t call it socialist or liberal.
Just give it a name that people understand and don’t have preexisting bias against. “For The People”
Take on BOTH the democrats and GOP. Become popular overnight. Keep hammering home it is not about skin colour, race or country of origin, but about the billionaires that aren’t happy with paying no tax and having billions. Make it about the 99%.
It is the only way you’ll get your country back without excessive violence. The two status quo parties are hollowed out from the inside. And both are infiltrated by foreign interests.
That's what Bernie is saying. He's calling all progressives to run as Independent, aka No Party Preference, down ballot so we can shove the Corporate DNC into the GOP where they so desperately want to be anyway.

I can really see AOC as president. She's already at the minimum age, but I would like to see her take another 5-10 years to learn how to broaden her appeal.
but I would like to see her take another 5-10 years to learn how to broaden her appeal.
This kind of "we're not ready yet" mindset is what lets republicans eat our lunch again and again.
"Broadening appeal" is also dumb as fuck when the candidates that do run routinely get ~30% of the vote. They already don't have "broad appeal."
Stop playing into the ruling classes handbooks by giving up before we even begin.

she's spent her entire career broadening her appeal. She went from progressive, to progressive leaning dem, since she's been in office.

I'm educated enough in American politics to understand elusive news about Musk ans Trump but about not that Bernie guy. Is that a first or last name and what was the point of the rally? Also is a rally like a démonstration?
It's a first name. He's a politician somewhere between PS and UDI on the spectrum, so for Americans he is an extreme radical leftist, for normal people a basically sensible centrist with some heart. Has a cult following for a long time, seems like a nice guy probably.
A rally is like a demonstration but with establishment politicians speaking.
so for Americans he is an extreme radical leftist
literally only right wingers would call him that.

Bernie Sanders is a Senator for the state of Vermont. Be has run for president and went pretty far on a socialist platform. Far enough that when you refer to him by his first name while discussing politics, just about every American knows who you are talking about. If there is a truly left wing politician in American government, it's Bernie. And while it doesn't say a lot about the state of things, it does say quite a bit that so many people showed up to hear him speak.
LOL socialist
Go baby go!
It's working kids - despite the blackout from the mass media, people are taking to the streets:

They need to organized this momentum into a proper party, maybe call it the labor party or the progress party. But most importantly they need to not be scared to use actural leftist rhetoric and appeal to class conscious workers.

The worst part is that Republicans unironically believe that these are all paid actors.
