Form a new party!!! Don’t call it Labor or Labour. Don’t call it Green. Don’t call it progressive. Don’t call it socialist or liberal.

Just give it a name that people understand and don’t have preexisting bias against. “For The People”

Take on BOTH the democrats and GOP. Become popular overnight. Keep hammering home it is not about skin colour, race or country of origin, but about the billionaires that aren’t happy with paying no tax and having billions. Make it about the 99%.

It is the only way you’ll get your country back without excessive violence. The two status quo parties are hollowed out from the inside. And both are infiltrated by foreign interests.

That's what Bernie is saying. He's calling all progressives to run as Independent, aka No Party Preference, down ballot so we can shove the Corporate DNC into the GOP where they so desperately want to be anyway.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

IIRC, he also called for the corpocentrists to get primaried.

“People” = “Communist”

[–] RedSuns@lemm.ee 46 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Agreed.

Gotta take a page out of idiocracy here folks.

The Cowboy Party (Named after the most popular/recognizable NFL team)

Or, how about:

The Murica Party

Then you put Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as your president. I’ve had debates about the feasibility of this approach and this is the modern Ronald Reagan play.

The 99% Party. It's a slick way of calling it a worker's party without sounding like a communist party.

The worst part is that Republicans unironically believe that these are all paid actors.

Digging into who is actually paying them is a fun road to go down as well. They can't answer. When the democrats were in charge, they'd be paid for by the government!

Now that Trump is in charge, they can't say that anymore! So they'll move onto another scapegoat such as Bill Gates, or NASA (and ignore that NASA gets funds from the government).

[–] Sibshops@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think facts or lack of evidence has ever gotten in their way before. They will just say it's George Soros. Or they will point to fake craigslist posts which can be created by anyone.

They need to organized this momentum into a proper party, maybe call it the labor party or the progress party. But most importantly they need to not be scared to use actural leftist rhetoric and appeal to class conscious workers.

Go baby go!

It's working kids - despite the blackout from the mass media, people are taking to the streets:

We gotta put all our energy into what they’re doing. They’re the rare few on the left that really understand what is going on and how to start fighting it.

I can really see AOC as president. She's already at the minimum age, but I would like to see her take another 5-10 years to learn how to broaden her appeal.

[–] OccultIconoclast@reddthat.com 61 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I want her to start running right now. Fascism is here, we can't afford to wait.

I'm pretty excited by this AOC/Sanders team up. I'm sure neither are perfect, and will have ideas that I disagree with. But they both have a strong reputation for sticking up for ordinary people rather than the rich and powerful. And no reputation (that I'm aware of!) for bullying, blathering, giving in to the rich, sexual abuse, or miscellaneous awful behaviour.

And a team up between old and young is a powerful thing. Age brings wisdom, to spot things a young person might miss; and youth brings energy, understanding, and new ideas.

AOC for 2028? Judging by other comments, it seems unlikely. But AOC later? If they stay uncompromised, stick to the values that America wants without getting bogged down in things that divide the country, and gather support organically across the country rather than relying on traditional rich-people-funding, this could be an amazing victory!

Trump and gang is trying to have AOC charged for terrorism, so it seems to be working. She should either get DNC leadership now or finally form her own party.

DNC:

The best we can do is normalize Trumpism. Now, for what's important, how many more terms can we keep Schumer?

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 49 points 1 year ago (5 children)

It's wild to me that democrats by and large haven't realized that the DNC is holding them back. I'll never forgive them for picking Hillary over Bernie. How different would things be now if Bernie had been the nominee?

If Bernie was 20 or 30 years younger, AOC and him would smash the fucking Government of Putin.

If you have any wisdom, you will support them. Full left or nothing else will work.

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lol they aren't even full left, at all. We've deluded ourselves into thinking common sense and not being bought by the billionaires and corporate lobbies is "full left"

I fear for her safety. I hope she stays safe.

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hell yeah!

I'd kill to see a Bernie/AOC rally outside of Chicago.

I went ahead and donated to their campaign, but if you're in a similar boat, give this link a look:

God I really needed this. Finally some positivity against the insanity. Glad we are finding our backbone!
