AOC is the the blue chip prospect. 2028 might be a little early for her.
From what I understand Bernie is going to districts where Republican representatives won by a small margin. The idea is to get people fired up enough to demand their representatives stand up to Trump.
Sanders put the pressure on Bacon, emphasizing the need to fight a Trump-backed bill that he says would cause massive Medicaid cuts.
"I'm here for one simple reason. Legislation is coming down the pike. And if Trump and the Republicans get their way, there will be massive cuts to Medicaid. You know what that means — children are going to be thrown off of health care," Sanders said.
Saying only two Republicans need to vote against the bill for it to fail, Sanders added, " What I'm asking you to do is make sure that your congressman, Mr. Bacon, is one of those."
When asked how progressives plan to win back the working class after Republicans took control of both the House and Senate, Sanders said, "If you develop and fight for an agenda that's prepared to take on powerful special interests and deliver for working families, working families will be supportive."

We'll see if it works. Bacon already disagrees with what Trump said about Ukraine and Putin.
How has nominating a woman worked out the last few elections? I am not saying I wouldn’t vote for her but part of the reason we have the current situation is because some people just couldn’t vote for a woman…
I read that too, on the cover of the National Enquirer when I was checking out at the grocery store. Dynamite sources you have.
I would expect AOC to get less votes than Kamala. This forum seems to like her, but is also far left.
Do the Democrats have a more important constituency than the bureaucracy and its employees?
I have been to plenty if those type of events in my life.
Those 200 counts are normally about 17 people there solely as an attendee, the rest is media, local politicians and their staffs, the staffs of the speakers, and the people that are being paid to be there that work for the place where the rally is being held.
WE HAVE A PROBLEM: This is a well written and thought-out article written by a 26-yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspective...
My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.
I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation, and we've become completely blind to it.
Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.
These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.
We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty-One Times!!!
Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful.
Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."
Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.
When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.
My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.
Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.
People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.
Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.
We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

I’ll add this to her falling for MMT when people want to tell me how brilliant she is.
Want to the know the root cause? I do, but boomers like you won’t like the answer. Hopefully you can read graphs.
I'm glad to say I was a Sander's caucuser and even a county delegate for him. All of the "he's too old" and "he goes to far" crap looks even more ridiculous now than it did back then.
