They try to shame me. those critical comment writers, because I voted for Bernie. My vote, my choice. A politician does not have to be popular to have the right ideas. Let's hope they hear the man this time.

I'd have to say you're overvaluing MuskRat and Trumpty-Dumpty here.

As you point out, Bernie is priceless, MuskRat and the MAGAMaggot are worthless.

The value spread goes to infinity.

We all saw with our own eyes the meeting filmed in the Oval Office uncovering for anyone who was conned into believe it is untrue that Trump/Vance/Musk are thugs and what we saw was a shameful shakedown.

We can only imagine the brutal intimidation, extortion and threats thrown at Zelensky by Trump and Vance and their minions. Very likely the agreed upon deal was changed once Zelensky landed in America.

Were there threats to his life and the lives of his family? Was there obscene criminal extortion? And brutal intimidation? Of course. For we have seen how Trump behaves when the camera is rolling which makes it easy to imagine how he behaves behind closed doors. "You will do it, or else."

Does Trump speak for you when he is shown to be such a big fool and embarrassment? Does Trump speak to you when he threatens to not help states unless they bend to his will which is in fact agrees to step aside while he assaults the people of those states?

Trump is a coward who is very aware of our power. Thus, he fired all the JAGs in the military whose function was oversight to prevent the military ever carrying out an illegal Executive Branch order.

And Patel is having everyone in the FBI trained for hand-to-hand combat by wrestling professionals. Why? Crowd control. That is what Trump has planned for you and your children. Do you still support him?

If not, you are welcome to join us in what will be an epic overthrow of our self-appointed King. We need you in fact. God bless and save America. United we stand. Divided we fall and all we cherish will be lost.

No one should have expected our democracy and Constitution and our rights that we have had for 80+ year provided by the courage and sacrifice and lives lost amongst the generations that came before us to never be challenged.

There is fight in all of us. It is in our DNA. But never in history have we enjoyed a Victory over challenges to our democracy when we were divided. This can only be achieved if we unite. There is a bit of repair to be done. But we are strong and can create history together, united.

We cannot if we remain divided or incite division thru misinformation which is coming from both sides. FACT: Biden won in 2021, and Trump won in 2024.

Trump is an evil and cruel man who no longer hides his face. Who cannot see this self-appointed King is pure evil motivated to acquire obscene wealth for him and his crime family who will kill anyone who gets in the way of that goal. He is as has been said for years, "A clear and present danger."

1000 Musks and T rumps are worthless. Let’s not compare them in any way to Bernie or Bernie to them. They are anti-US. Bernie truly loves the U.S. may he live long enough to see this administration

Why is Bernie doing this alone. Is it possible if more of our Democratic leaders joined with him on this tour, the impact would be even stronger? How about each going separately to other areas at the same time. Imagine…….

Sarah Jones & Jason Easley's avatar

He is far from doing this alone. Members of Congress are holding rallies, town halls, and tele-town halls almost daily. When someone posts why aren't more Democrats doing this? It is always a sign to me that that person watches or reads mainstream media, and they are not covering what Democrats are doing.

Wednesday-Friday alone there were at least 5 major rallies led by different Democrats in the House and Senate. Bernie is rallying his progressive base, and using his supporter network, but he is not alone out there.---Jason

PS- I wish that I could write about all of these rallies, but I may begin to post the scheduled rallies and town halls so people will have a better idea of what is going on.

I have to give Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) props for doing a telephone town hall and answering tough questions. Her peers in Maine (Collins) and North Carolina (Tillis) are too cowardly to do even that.

My thoughts about this was to create such a time when this happened all at the same time, creating an even larger impact and showing a cohesive strength at one time that seems to speak to MAGA. And you are wrong about only following mainstream media…..it’s been s very long since I personally have followed it. I am a Substack , Meidas etc follower for real.news for a long time now.

I watched online. His strategy (which I think is a good one) is to teach some history and remind the people that as a collective we are stronger than the trump/musk regime. Afterall we have won wars, rights and progress with the grassroots people and we can do it again!

John's avatar

You only need to convince enough people to take back the house and or Senate in the midterms. You start from there and do not stop or back down!

The Dems need to be on street corners in the big cities, small towns, and every well attended public outing telling the people there are better ways, and then laying out what those ways are.

Exactly, and it does not do diddly boop to drag out a socialist fossil like Uncle Bernie Sanders to talk at rallies. Who gives a shit? The assole helped, by not being a team player the Republicans to get where they are now. What the Democrats need to do is not pat the converted on the back.,.but convert the MAGA maniacs to Democrats… These pep rallies are bullshit

Expand full comment
Kat Hudy's avatar

True in one sense, however, Bernie is still a Democrat as well. He just believes in social programs, like public schools, libraries, programs to feed the poor and their children, our veterans and their families, and other things as well. There is nothing wrong with that. I believe in them too. His messaging is strong and very believable regarding what we are fighting Trump about. I’d like to see more Democrats get into this fight just as he is doing. I know there are some that starting to speak up, but we need a heck of a lot more of them!!!

2/21/25

PROTEST on MARCH 15

The 315 Movement started as a small group of Americans. Since then, 315 has grown into nationwide movement.

The 315 Movement has no formal leadership structure.

#SHUTDOWN315

When will it happen?

March 15th, 2025.

Why?

To stop the rise of fascism and take America away from the oligarchs who are ruining the United States.

A corrupt billionaire class of oligarchs is dividing Americans. They are pitting us against each other. On March 15, we will demonstrate our power to oppose them.

Can 315 help?

YES. Billionaire oligarchs can't function without employees and other Americans who work for a living or buy stuff from oligarchs.

Oligarchs and their fascism must be stopped. The longer we wait to oppose them, the harder it will be to take our country back from them.

Who are the Americans organizing the 315 Movement?

You are. We are. All of us are every day Americans from diverse cultural and political backgrounds. We share the goal of opposing America's oligarchy.

315 is not a 1-day event.

It is the beginning of the end of rule by oligarchs.

Thank you Bernie for hopefully getting this movement started..it will take all of us to convince the scared to death Republicans to stand up to save our Democracy. They would rather save their seats and bow to these wealthy terrorists that are destroying our Nation, than stand up with integrity for our Constitution. It’s like Trump and his Cabal have injected the Kool Aid into these disgusting sheep bleating and running scared!

Bernie, showing America how it’s done. We have to show up for each other, for our children, for our children’s children.

Our taxes siphoned from federal workers working on cancer research, schools, air traffic safety, nuclear safety!, bird flu, top military officers who protect us … they take our taxes for us to die, to feed the greed of the few.

Vote out these republicans who take our hard earned taxes for programs that help our families and hand them to the rich, who don’t need it!

Kids are dying, planes are crashing, fed workers losing their jobs, where will our taxes go? To pockets of the rich? More yachts for Bezos, more islands for Zuckerberg, for Musk to fire fed workers who protect us, control all our data to use against us, & Musk to buy more elections in countries.
