 @DovesBradyLibertarian from Missouri  commented…2yrs2Y

It's hard to know what to believe anymore. The Russians pump out misinformation, and so does US intelligence. And our media lies constantly, they aren't journalists, they're propagandists. Anyone paying attention the last 5 years can plainly see that. What we witnessed during the Trump admin, then covid, and now Biden. Isn't it amazing that EVERYTHING was Trump's fault and now nothing is Biden's fault? I love our country, but I don't believe our government or our media one bit. According to Mitt Romney, that makes us treasonous I suppose. I guess to be patriotic we're so supposed to blindly believe our proven liars over anyone else's.

 @PacifiedElect0ralLibertarian from New York  agreed…2yrs2Y

I lost what little respect I had for Romney when he ordered that legitimate republican delegates at the 2012 republican convention be decertified - because he wanted to prevent Ron Paul from winning five states (which would give Paul a prominent speaking position). By the way, his first name isn't "Mitt". It is Willard. And Willard is a rat.

  @Patriot-#1776Constitution from Washington  agreed…2yrs2Y

I am still so furious that they rigged the 2012 primaries to ensure Ron Paul couldn't come anywhere near the White House – he would have been our greatest modern president.

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
