My comment on the anti-oligarchy tour.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1324&pid=3592

Bernie and AOC have conducted 198 events in 12 states. Maybe 199 and 13 by the time I type this.

Let me copy a Bernie email. THIS is a simple and powerful message that ALL should be sharing all over the US. Not just two people.

---
People attending rallies in huge numbers are saying
YES to raising the minimum wage,
YES to expanding Social Security,
YES to guaranteeing health care as a human right,
YES to cutting the cost of prescription drugs,
YES to paid family and medical leave,
YES to equal pay for equal work,
YES to more affordable housing,
YES to making childcare and higher education affordable to all,
YES to taking on the existential threat of climate change.

And most importantly they are saying
YES to a government and an economy that works for all of us and not just the billionaire class and the Oligarchs.
