DENVER, Colo. — Now we know what they really thought.

On Friday afternoon, at the biggest rally of his political career, Sen. Bernie Sanders encouraged some 32,000 people here to organize against “oligarchy,” dismantle the private campaign finance system, and maybe run for office themselves.

He never ran as a Democrat — and they wouldn’t need to, either. The party hadn’t earned it.

“For the last 30 or 40 years, Democrats have turned their backs on the working class of this country,” said Sanders.

The Vermont independent shared the stage with New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who called for “a Democratic Party that fights harder for us.” They were introduced by Jimmy Williams, the president of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, who denounced Democrats for not raising the minimum wage or expanding Social Security when they held the House, Senate, and White House.

“For the Democratic Party to ever win back the majority, they have to represent the working class and not the corporate class,” said Williams.

“Roan went on to succinctly sum up her political outlook, stating bluntly: “I’m pretty, ‘Fuck the government, and fuck everything that’s going on right now.’ I don’t have a side because I hate both sides, and I’m so embarrassed about everything going on right now.”

A few highlights in case you can’t access the full article:

Sienna College Poll found NY residents…

…agreed 70 percent to 22 percent that the protests “went too far, and I support the police being called in to shut them down.”

…agreed 61-25 that the protesters have lost sight of Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre of Israelis and that “it feels like these demonstrations have crossed the line into antisemitism.” Even Democrats agreed, 54-32. Even the age group most sympathetic to the Palestinian cause, adults under the age of 35, agreed, 46-38.

YouGov polling for both the Economist and Yahoo News this month showed Americans disapproved of the protests by around a 2-1 margin. Ditto a Fox News poll last week.

And a Suffolk University poll showed that 7 in 10 Americans either opposed the protests (46 percent) or sympathized with them while opposing the way the protesters conducted themselves (24 percent). Just 19 percent said they supported the protests, full stop.

The Fox News poll showed just 16 percent said the protests made them more sympathetic to Palestinians, while 29 percent said the protests made them less sympathetic. (Half said the protests made no difference.)

Do you think my Goat would have beaten trump?

Joe Biden is my GOAT, let that be known. IMO he blows trump out of the water in 2016 and maybe can get a victory in 2024. Damn you Covid 19. Biden guaranteed gets two terms if not for the freaking Covid.
