Bernie Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez Rally 36,000 Against Oligarchy

Senator Bernie Sanders held a massive rally in Los Angeles, attracting around 36,000 attendees as part of his 'Fighting Oligarchy' tour, aimed at galvanizing opposition to President Donald Trump. During the event, Sanders criticized the concentration of power among billionaires and expressed disappointment with the Democratic Party's lack of resistance to Trump’s policies. The rally featured musical performances from artists like Neil Young and Maggie Rogers, who contributed to the event's energetic atmosphere, with Rogers even dubbing it 'Berniechella.' Many attendees, including art teacher Alex Powell, voiced a strong desire for more action from Democrats, citing fears over Trump’s anti-immigration policies. Sanders' rhetoric resonated with a crowd seeking hope and change, contrasting sharply with the sentiments within certain factions of the Republican Party regarding tax policies. Reports indicate that some Republicans are considering raising the top tax rate, mirroring sentiments popularized by Sanders, despite widespread concerns about the party's economic direction.
