Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) are hosting two events in Colorado on Friday. The first stop for “Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here with Bernie Sanders” will be at Bank of Colorado Arena at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. Doors open at noon, and the speaking program is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.
Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez will then hold another event at Civic Center Park, located at 101 14th Ave. in Denver. People will be allowed in at 4 p.m. and speaking is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.
There is no goal. Bernie and AOC recognize the need for resistance, but are too set in their ways/centrist to use effective methods of resistance, so this is a compromise with themselves where they go through the motions of resistance without pissing off the neoliberals too much and hope it accomplishes something. You know how Bernie likes to call for a mass movement to push America towards progressive politics, but when asked what that mass movement should do says “vote and call your senators”? It’s more of that.
