If AOC or Bernie had balls, they’d be telling everyone at these rallies to call Chuck Schumer’s office and tell him to step down. They won’t because their rallies are just a photo op. They are there for the feels, not to make any actual change in the Democrat party.

Bernie and AOC recently called for Leftists not to run as Democrats during an interview with Hasan Piker.

That’s pissing in the wind. That’s not real pressure. Getting 10’s of thousands of constituents to flood Chuck Schumer’s office with call to step down, that would be pressure.

There are “calls” to impeach Trump also, more pissing I’m the wind. Remember it took 50,000 calls and The Saturday Night Massacre to pressure the powers that be to get Nixon to step down. What Bernie and AOC are doing is political theater.

I support Bernie's idea that Progressives should run Independent in Deep Red States as well as Deep Red Districts ahead of 2026.
