US Vermont senatorās tour with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes has been drawing record-breaking crowds since February
The Vermont senatorĀ Bernie SandersĀ drew a record-breaking crowd at his rally in Los Angeles on Saturday, which included musical acts from Joan Baez and Neil Young, who encouraged the crowd to ātake America backā.
Sandersās Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go from Here tour has been drawing massive crowds. Aided by the progressive New York representativeĀ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the team set the record in Tempe, Arizona, for biggest-ever political rally in that state three weeks ago. In Denver, Colorado, more than 34,000 people showed up ā a career-high crowd for the 83-year-old Sanders. Saturday in Los Angeles saw another record: at least 36,000 people packed a downtown park.
Those are the places that I mean. Those states are part of the infamous Rust Belt area whose citizens are mostly working class that used to vote Democrats. They are now the swing states that I believe AOC and Bernie could easily win.
Theyād still have a hard time winning without at least one of the others. Or more, as the Midwest, Northeast, and CA are losing population, mostly to the South.
