Henry Stevens<p>I attended a Bernie Sanders rally with AOC at <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/asu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>asu</span></a>. It was quite underwhelming. Bernie has not shifted his position on the reformism of the Democrats, at least at the event. He'll probably pass the torch down to AOC, but this will fail for a variety of reasons. AOC does have the same populist appeal as Sanders and has capitulated to the right wing of the Democrats repeatedly, so she can only succeed in her deep blue gerrymandered district.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/asu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>asu</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tempe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tempe</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/socialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socialism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/communism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/arizona" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arizona</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/phoenix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phoenix</span></a></p>
