It's Not a Bad Idea!' Tim Dillon Cracks Up Bernie Sanders by Pushing for AOC-Marjorie Taylor Greene Unity Ticket'

"Sanders joined Dillon on Wednesday for The Tim Dillon Show, where he promoted his new book Fighting Oligarchy. The hour-plus interview ended with a discussion about Sanders's support for New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani. Dillon joked Mamdani, a self-described Democratic socialist, could move to the center once in office and start being wined and dined by billionaires."

"Tim Dillon cracked up Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) by suggesting a wild unity ticket for the 2028 presidential election: Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). Is she running for president? Dillon asked when he heard Ocasio-Cortez's name. How about a unity ticket? Marjorie and Cortez! Sanders laughed at the possibility. What about that? Marjorie Taylor Greene and AOC, Dillon said. You came up with that idea right here, Sanders responded. It's actually my idea. It's not a bad idea, Dillon said."

"During his interview with Dillon, Sanders argued Democrats have not been focused enough on issues that working class Americans are concerned about, like housing, inflation, and more. Former Vice President Kamala Harris's 2024 campaign, he said, was an example of an unfocused campaign too influenced by big money. Kamala did not run a campaign focused on the needs of the working class, didn't run a campaign focused on healthcare, on economics, and raising the minimum wage."

Tim Dillon proposed a 2028 unity ticket pairing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Marjorie Taylor Greene, prompting laughter from Bernie Sanders, who called the idea his own. Sanders promoted his book Fighting Oligarchy and expressed support for New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, saying he and Ocasio-Cortez will campaign for him. The piece notes policy differences between Ocasio-Cortez and Greene, while observing Greene has been more critical of Republicans on certain issues. Sanders argued Democrats have not prioritized housing, inflation, healthcare, minimum wage increases, and paid family and medical leave, and he blamed unfocused, big-money campaigns for electoral losses.
