Bernie: Detroit - thank you for an incredible turnout and event tonight.





Passing Medicare for All. Increasing the minimum wage. Getting big money out of politics.

A better future is possible if we elect working-class champions like
@AbdulElSayed
and
@DonavanMI13
to Congress.

It has been the winning message for decades, attacking the root cause of all our problems ...

The insane concentration of wealth, and manipulation of the masses to keep the oligarchs fat and happy.

But the message hasn't gone out, because "DEMOCRATIC EATERSHIP" got diverted to "Richie Rich's Restaurant"



Shouldn't we just eat the rich instead?



These guys, the manipulators who demand WELFARE FOR THE RICH.

Excellent moment

WATCH — Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social : “AIPAC & Israel are not the same as Judaism & the Jewish people. I love Judaism and the Jewish people. The most dangerous thing they’ve tried to do is extend the definition of antisemitism to include a foreign government + its leaders. I call bullshit.”
