At a recent rally in Folsom, California, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez addressed a crowd of 26,000, advocating for economic justice and warning against the growing influence of wealth in politics. Sanders called for a decent standard of living for all Americans, criticizing the current state where many live in poverty while the wealthy thrive. Their message mirrors the progressive values from Sanders' previous presidential campaign and focuses on empowering the working class against the backdrop of rising inequality and the looming threat of authoritarianism under Trumpism.
It is not a radical idea, Sanders said, that in this country, every man, woman and child can and should have a decent standard of living.
We believe in a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Not a government of the billionaires, by the billionaires and for the billionaires.
We must acknowledge forthright the terrifying moments that we are in right now, Ocasio-Cortez said, citing cases of economic inequality and the erosion of rights.
Sanders warned of the dangerous situation inherent in Trumpism and the growing power of his wealthy supporters.
