Summary
Senator Bernie Sanders will visit Wisconsin next week for rallies in Kenosha and Altoona, targeting Republican-held congressional districts to boost Democratic turnout before the April 1 state election.
His visit comes as Wisconsin voters prepare to decide control of the state supreme court, a race that will be viewed as an indicator of sentiment about Trump’s first months back in office.
Sanders aims to pressure GOP Representatives Steil and Van Orden on social program cuts and challenge what he calls “the country’s move toward authoritarianism.”
Both Republican congressmen criticized Sanders’ visit, with Van Orden calling him a millionaire who “has never worked an honest day.”
I’m glad he is doing this because i agree with this strategy, but can someone explain to me why the online political strategists (in this case lemmy) seem to approve Bernie reaching across the aisle but seem appalled when Kamala tried to do the same?
Bernie Sanders shows up and talks about policy stances for at least half an hour.
Kamala Harris has like 95% of the same policy stances but never talks about them, or the news that covers her never covers her talking about them. Instead Kamala would bring up on stage conservative hacks who oppose Trump after being pieces of shit until just recently, and show infomercials of farmers and friendly eagles.
But I still voted for her, and I would do so again, and I advocate everyone else do so as well. She is a force of good.
Let’s be clear about this. They are still absolutely being pieces of shit. They don’t mind all the worst stuff that Trump will do, but they don’t like him being so obvious about it.
