It's Bernie Sanders who's leading the Democratic party's fight against the Trump oligarchy.

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2025/02/leaders-in-fight-against-oligarchy-are.html

He's 83 years old, and he puts to rest the misinformed discussion about the capabilities of older people with regard to carrying the mantle of political leadership. Senator Bernie Sanders, still holding the confidence of the overwhelming majorty of voters in the state of Vermont, still standing absolutely firm in convictions regarding how American values should be affecting and shaping our culture, still calling out the immoral, inhumane, and patently unfair practices of a corporate-dominated government that one Supreme Court ruling, Citizens United in 2010, caused to completely push American politics over the edge of unbridled corruption.


Given the treatment Bernie has had to endure, including criticism that falls outside the parameters of acceptable for those on the left, including most Democrats, his continuing push to set things right and to stop Trump is very unselfish and genuine. He could also be protecting his interests, clutching his pearls, and collecting checks, enjoying congressional perks and simply letting the days pass while enduring whatever stupidity transpires in Washington, hoping it won't affect him. He represents Vermont, so he doesn't have to travel far and the scope of the work of a Senator from a small state should be easy.

But he's out there, one of the few who is finding an effective way of fighting against this criminal and corrupt Trump oligarchy.

My advice is to pay attention and learn something, because he is getting this right.

And, it is a shame other Dems are not showing the same energy or spine. If even 25% of the Democrats did this, there would be, what one calls, a movement.

for us every day. AOC, Eric Swalwell, Jasmine Crockett, Robert Garcia, Frank Boyle, Tammy Duckworth…and so many more…that’s just what I can think of in this moment.

Republicans don't want to talk to people. These guys are great at it and need to be doing it too.
