An estimated 34,000 people gathered Friday at Civic Center Park in Denver to hear Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York push a number of progressive policies.

Summary

Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drew 34,000 people to a rally in Denver and 11,000 in Greeley as part of their “Fighting Oligarchy Tour.”

They advocated progressive policies and condemned billionaire influence in politics, with Sanders urging resistance to “Trumpism” and oligarchy.

    He isn’t sobbing too much about the undocumented getting deported

    Source demonstrating that he doesn’t care?

    he claims they take from documented Americans

    Ah, now I see what confused you!

    Bernie speaks out against billionaires and their corporations driving down wages by exploiting undocumented immigrants.

    He doesn’t blame immigrants for being exploited and he has certainly never been in favor of the draconian, abusive, and counterproductive immigration laws of the GOP.

    Unlike the leadership of both parties, he places the blame firmly where it belongs: on the rich people and companies profiting off of abusing everyone else.
