Summary
Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez condemned Donald Trump and Elon Musk at a packed Arizona rally, accusing them of harming working-class Americans and promoting oligarchy.
Sanders denounced corporate CEOs as “major criminals” exploiting workers, while Ocasio-Cortez called for stronger Democratic leadership.
Rallygoers urged Ocasio-Cortez to challenge Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer after he supported a Republican funding bill.
The rally, part of Sanders’ “Stop Oligarchy” tour, follows criticism of the Democratic Party’s weak response to Trump’s agenda and features further events in Colorado and Arizona.

I know I’m dreaming here, because what else is there to do at a time like this, but, I think it’s a shame if they can draw the largest crowd they’ve ever drawn and not parlay this into trying to kickstart a better party than the Democrats. Democrats are fucking over.
This feels like it’s just the start. Bernie had talked about more progressive dems running as independents or whatever pretty regularly I believe. This could be the the start of a snowball effect. Or maybe I’m dreaming too
