About the only fun some Democrats are having right now are the progressives and communists who have had time to follow the Bernie and AOC show around the country.
Everyone who attends gets to act like it's 1968 again, whether they're against war and the rich, the 'oligarchy,' or just there to smoke dope with the rest of the dopes. Maybe even wear a flower in their hair for old times' sake - it doesn't matter.
Now, oligarchy - that's a big, new word for someone like AOC who has problems plugging an iron in less mind committing multiple syllables to memory. She also doesn't have the advantage of using it for decades, like Bernie Sanders, multi-millionaire anti-oligarchist, has.
And believe me, he has.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders has some terrible news.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, on the other hand, isn't quite as polished in her schtick as the ol' candidato comunista from Vermont and her current comedy partner on the road tour.
Lousiana's Senator Kennedy perfectly described AOC's intellectual capabilities the other day.
Sen. Kennedy is savage 😂:

"I consider AOC to be the leader of the Democratic Party.”
"She's the reason there are directions on a shampoo bottle.”
“Our plan for dealing with her is operation ‘let her speak’.” 💀pic.twitter.com/DDg3yglwP8
These two and Jasmine Crockett are now the leading lights of the Democratic party, the ones sucking all the air out of the room.
The collective brilliance of the braintrust is simply incandescent.
DEI Jasmine Crockett says prices are high for food and the hospitality industry because of deportations.

Speaking of high prices, will @RepJasmine explain why she’s been making US taxpayers cover her $1K a month luxury car lease?
She’s a millionaire.pic.twitter.com/X7xOQDWDvF
As is their blissful hypocrisy.
BREAKING - It’s been revealed that Jasmine Crockett billed taxpayers $11,996 for a vehicle lease, $20,301 for lodging, and $2,670 for meals in 2024 while claiming the government isn’t “in the business of giving out money.”

FIGHT OLIGARCHY
And while they have the flash factor, I don't find any of these characters personally appealing.
Bernie can't help being the crotchety old fart he's always been, even when he's with a fawningly friendly audience.

AOC is a shallow, vacuous, self-absorbed vanity project without an ounce of self-awareness other than what she sees in the mirror during her chatty TikTok or Instagram make-up videos.
The Dems who are having wet dreams over the “end” of the Trump presidency should understand their level of stupidity. Start by recognizing that one of your leaders is this dumb https://t.co/hOHQsXc3mZ

And yet here they are, being celebrated for creating a 'Revival' for the Democratic Party across the country. 'Galvanizing,' even.
FIGHT OLIGARCHY
...“The American people, whether they are Democrats, Republicans or Independents, do not want billionaires to control our government or buy our elections,” Sanders said in the release. “They do not want huge tax breaks for the wealthiest people in the country paid for by massive cuts to Medicaid and other programs that working families rely on.”
...Politico has dubbed the pair’s rallies as “nothing short of a revival” for Democrats in the face of Republicans’ “all-out control of the federal government.”
...“I think it’s the ‘Sanders effect,’ ” Gail Chumbley, a caucus chairman, said at the time. “He has galvanized voters all over the country.”
They're both such frauds, but desperate sheeple still flock to it.
...The next day, the equality-spouting darling of the far left rallied along with her socialist comrade, Sen. Sanders (I-Vt.), in North Vegas and at Arizona State University in Tempe.
“Nothing says, ‘Power to the people’ like ignoring voters looking to say hello and reclining in first class while tweeting about income inequality,” the flier who took the photo told The Post — claiming that AOC did not respond to friendly comments once she sat down.
“AOC is fighting the system one first-class mimosa at a time,” said the passenger, Tracey, who is from Brooklyn and was sitting in the economy cabin.
Democrats are right to sweat the duo's effect on the impressionable masses yearning for direction, of which there is none in evidence from any other Democratic figure.
...To progressives, it’s nothing short of a revival. And many Democrats, including those with ties to the party establishment, are just breathing a sigh of relief that they might finally have found a rallying cry in the face of the GOP’s all-out control of the federal government.
“I’m so proud and so excited by every Democrat at every single level who is getting out there,” said Malcolm Kenyatta, a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee who has criticized Sanders in the past. “This is not left versus right. This is about flight versus fight.”
...But it is worrying some moderate Democrats who fear Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez could tug the party to the left at a time when it is rudderless and turn off swing voters in the process.
Matt Bennett, a vice president at the center-left group Third Way, said he is glad that the rallies are “giving people an outlet for that anger” against Trump. But he argued that “crowd size is the worst metric in American politics” and “it is important that they not repeat the mistakes that the far left has made that helped get us into this mess in the first place.”
Oh, they'll repeat them. Guaranteed.
Even Former Clinton Advisor, Doug Schoen understands Democrat Party is horrible.

...“It’s still moving left—I’d argue hard left……it’s anti-Trump, with no positive programs, certainly no centrist ones. All we do is bash and trash—and with AOC and Bernie Sanders at the helm, we’re only running on opposition to the Republicans. No ideas. No plans.”
This is Bernie's swan song. His chance to claw back all the accolades and savor the love of what I'm sure he feels was rightfully his and stripped away by the DNC machine in his two runs for president.
He's sticking it to the Party and couldn't care less.
AOC just wants a party.
And, in her heart of hearts, she wants a piece of that oligarchy, too.
I mean, look - socialist Bernie's already got his five times over.
She keeps the Democrats halfway afloat, and they'll make sure she gets it.
