Sanders Rallies Thousands in Midwest GOP Districts Against Oligarchy
Senator Bernie Sanders’s “National Tour to Fight Oligarchy” commenced in Omaha and Iowa City, targeting Republican districts and aiming to pressure Representatives Don Bacon and Mariannette Miller-Meeks to oppose GOP budget cuts. The tour directly challenges the influence of billionaires, both Republican and Democrat, on the political system and criticizes the Democratic Party’s perceived inaction against Trump’s policies and Musk’s actions within the government. Sanders argues that combating “Trumpism” requires a grassroots movement rejecting oligarchy and advocating for working-class Americans, a message resonating strongly with attendees despite the prevailing political climate. The tour’s success suggests a significant base of support for Sanders’ anti-oligarchy message within the Democratic party, contrasting with the perceived passivity of Democratic leadership.
