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.

“People” = “Communist”

The 99% Party. It's a slick way of calling it a worker's party without sounding like a communist party.

How can I sign up for that job?

Bernie does UBI at 11.

Digging into who is actually paying them is a fun road to go down as well. They can't answer. When the democrats were in charge, they'd be paid for by the government!

Now that Trump is in charge, they can't say that anymore! So they'll move onto another scapegoat such as Bill Gates, or NASA (and ignore that NASA gets funds from the government).

America isn't going to have a revolution. Modern Americans couldn't revolution our way out of a Walmart. Best we might be able to do is a collapse, and we'll blame it on everybody in the world but ourselves.

I want her to start running right now. Fascism is here, we can't afford to wait.

I'm pretty excited by this AOC/Sanders team up. I'm sure neither are perfect, and will have ideas that I disagree with. But they both have a strong reputation for sticking up for ordinary people rather than the rich and powerful. And no reputation (that I'm aware of!) for bullying, blathering, giving in to the rich, sexual abuse, or miscellaneous awful behaviour.

And a team up between old and young is a powerful thing. Age brings wisdom, to spot things a young person might miss; and youth brings energy, understanding, and new ideas.

AOC for 2028? Judging by other comments, it seems unlikely. But AOC later? If they stay uncompromised, stick to the values that America wants without getting bogged down in things that divide the country, and gather support organically across the country rather than relying on traditional rich-people-funding, this could be an amazing victory!

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 class' handbooks by giving up before we even begin.

DNC:

The best we can do is normalize Trumpism. Now, for what's important, how many more terms can we keep Schumer?

Lol they aren't even full left, at all. We've deluded ourselves into thinking common sense and not being bought by the billionaires and corporate lobbies is "full left"
