Summary

Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez condemned Donald Trump and Elon Musk at a packed Arizona rally, accusing them of harming working-class Americans and promoting oligarchy.

Sanders denounced corporate CEOs as “major criminals” exploiting workers, while Ocasio-Cortez called for stronger Democratic leadership.

Rallygoers urged Ocasio-Cortez to challenge Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer after he supported a Republican funding bill.

The rally, part of Sanders’ “Stop Oligarchy” tour, follows criticism of the Democratic Party’s weak response to Trump’s agenda and features further events in Colorado and Arizona.

    Seriously. One of the most conservative old guys at my running club yesterday said, and I quote, “someone needs to kill Donald Trump and Elon Musk.” And I live in Alberta.

    We are absolutely done with the US’s bullshit up here guys. Fucking do something. If one more of you cowards tries to tell me you’re going to vote harder in the primaries or some other stupid limp dick excuse, I swear to god man. Our lives and sovereignty are being threatened here. For the love of god do something actually useful for once in your lives.

      I swear to god man.

      You swear to do what? What are you gonna do about it if we don’t get rid of Trump? If we don’t engage in large-scale riots and die so Canadians are safe? How about YOU do something? The best way to deal with an aggressive neighbor (geopolitically speaking) is invading them to enact regime change or just genocide the people there. Go on. Do it. Put your money where your mouth is and start walking across that border with a weapon in your hand. Once you win you can impose whatever government you want here.

      That’s the problem with “Someone should kill Trump and Elon Musk”. The “Someone” part, which translates to “anybody but me I just want to continue being lazy and comfortable”.

        I’m glad you somehow still managed to blame people in OTHER COUNTRIES for YOUR mistake.

        Honestly, fuck you. You don’t understand what it is to be threatened with invasion from the greatest military power of all time.

        Except our country did. He won the popular vote and those who stayed home meant they were fine with him winning.

        Just don’t comfort these assholes when they finally regret their decision.

          Americans hoard guns like crazy and then act like elections are the be all end all of political reform. It’s idiotic and disgusting.

        Our meat prices locally dropped way down since the tariff bullshit. I’ve been saying we need to get away from tying our food markets to the US for like a decade, nice to see that I was right for once.

      You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after every other option has been exhausted first.

      A lot of my Albertan coworkers are still reciting the conservative propaganda and sound bites. There really is no hope for them as they are willingly obtuse…

      I hear you, brother. I’m in Alberta too, but never been interested in guns; I’m waiting for my PAL to be approved as we speak. My parents and in-laws are terrified and upset about their grandkids potential futures. I’m talking to them daily to try to calm them down. We’re angry all the time, and now filling with anxiety about the upcoming election, because we all see the lies and bullshit tied to money, power, and ignorance starting…
