Bernie Sanders fights leftist apathy in anti-oligarchy rally
Bangkok Post
|April 14, 2025
LOS ANGELES: Bernie Sanders is emerging as one of the most vocal opponents to US President Donald Trump, with the 83-year-old senator drawing tens of thousands of people to his “fighting oligarchy” rallies around the country.
-
Supporters packed the Gloria Molina Grand Parkin Los Angeles on Saturday as guests including politicians, union representatives and musical acts took to the stage before speeches by Sanders and Democrat representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
“There are some 36,000 of you, the largest rally that we have ever had,’ Mr Sanders told the cheering crowd.
“Your presence here today is making Trump and Musk very nervous”
The self-described socialist, an independent who has never been a member of the Democratic Party, has been attracting crowds over the past two months on his nationwide “fighting oligarchy” tour.
His progressive, leftist rhetoric has resonated with people opposed to Mr Trump's policies and with those disappointed in established Democrats’ lack of political resistance to Mr Trump.
Folk rock legend Neil Young led the LA crowd on Saturday in chanting “Take America Back!” while he played the electric guitar.
