Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are on their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, aiming to address the influence of wealthy elites in American politics, a theme highlighted by President Biden’s warning about the dangers of oligarchy during his farewell address. The tour makes a concerted effort to engage in Republican-held districts, with events attracting large crowds, indicating a surge of Democratic anger against the Trump administration. Sanders critiques billionaires like Trump and Elon Musk, urging for discussions on corporate power. The tour aims to inspire hope among progressives, despite being in predominantly Republican regions. Both politicians emphasize the need for Democrats to choose between relying on grassroots support or billionaire funding, as they rally support for upcoming elections.
