WEAren, Mitch. – Bernie Sanders is standing alone behind a pickup truck by shouting in Bulhorn.
He is facing several hundred extracellular voters who slipped outside the suburban Detroit High School – a group that did not fit inside a high school gym or two overflow rooms. The crowd is joyfully screaming when it tells them that a total of 9,000 people were shown for the rally.
“All this tells me, it is not just in Michigan or in Vermont, the people of this country will not allow us to move towards the server. They will not allow Trump to take us to the dictatorship, “Sanders said. “We are ready to fight. And we are going to win. “
At the age of 83, Sanders are not contesting the presidential election again. But the drowned and silver -haired Democratic Socialist has emerged as the leader of the resistance of Donald Trump’s second president. Warning about the consequences of confiscating Trump’s power and firing of thousands of government employees, Sanders are defeating people who focuses on egg prices to Democrats or “Roll Over and Married Play”.
For now, at least, the Sanders are the stands of the stands as a single elected progressive, which is ready to mount a national campaign to increase the fear and anger of the anti -Trump movement.
He pulled a 4,000 crowd on Friday night’s canca in Wisconsin. He faced a few hours away in Alto, Wisconsin, a city of less than 10,000 residents in the second 2,600 or the next morning. And its 9,000 crowd in the suburban Detroit exceeded the expectations of its own team. By design, each stop was in the US House District, introduced by the Republican.
Sanders, who were only elected from Vermont for the fourth Senate term, admitted that he did not have a role to expect at this stage of his career.
In fact, his team had intentionally waited for the Trump President’s early week to see if he would now call his “Stop Oligarkee Tour” to see if a high profile Democrat leadership would be void. Instead, the Sanders – who ran twice for the Senate Democrats joining and nominated the party’s presidential nomination – are not Democrat – people are wondering if they consider another dialect of the White House.
“This is like the rallies of the President’s campaign, isn’t it? But I am not contesting the presidential election, and this is not a campaign, “Sanders told the Associated Press. “You have to do what you have to do. The country is in trouble and I want to play my role. “
Democratic resistance divided
After losing the White House, Democrats in Washington Shington have struggled to gather continuous message or messenger to prevent Trump’s aggressive steps to cut government employees, weaken federal inspection and empower Tech Titan Alon Musk to run his vision.
There was no central movement to adjust the anti -Trump resistance.
“You look around – who else is doing? Anyone, “rap. Alexandria spoke about the efforts of the Ocean-Corties, DNY, Sanders. “I hope the dam will be broken in the crime of Democrats … we need to take the argument straight people.”

For a long time Sanders fellow Oasio-Cortez said he would join him on the road next week. She is also planning to appear alone in Pennsylvania and Republican-run Congress districts in New York-and maybe in other places where the Republicans refuse to hold an in-individual town hall where they can face opposition.
“It’s not about Bernie or not. It is about that we all want, “He said.” But it is unique in this country, and as long as we are blessed to have that ability next to us, I think we should be grateful to it. “
In addition to the Sanders tour, the angry voters have so far relied on the bottom groups such as inseparable to perform a series of local protests. They have been effective in pushing Trump’s allies in some cases. A number of House Republicans who are facing angry questions have criticized Kasturi or questioned the cuts made at the behest of his colleagues.
Inseparable co-founder Azra Levin, who is criticizing many Democratic leaders, praised the sanders for moving forward.
“I wish more Democrats were traveling to the country, including the red states, so that a majority rally against Kasturi and Project 2025 should be held.”
During last month’s Congress break, Jeffrees made two introductions to promote children’s books about democracy. He has also traveled to support House Democrats. This past week, he was in Alabama’s Selma on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the bloody Sunday.

The truth is that a few, if any, have the ability to draw such a crowd on short instruction or organize related logistics at a national level. In the party’s 2028 presidential probabilities, a group in which California Governor Gavin Newsum, Michigan Governor. Grachen Whitemer and Pennsylvania Gav. Josh Shapiro includes, it has limited national profiles, and they are hesitant to move too much in the national spotlight so far.
Connecticut Sen Chris Murphy said that Democrats should be better arranged in the Congress critics with more clarity.
“People are desperate to be plugged into action right now. People see the threat. They are restless and angry and motivated and they want to send in one direction to help, “he said.
Murphy acknowledged that Sanders still have plenty of detectors at the Democratic Party who views them and its progressive policy ideas-the government-funded “Medicare for All” plan, a free public college college and a “Green New Deal” on the climate policy.
Indeed, it was only five years ago when the Democrats integrated around B Biden, so that the Sanders were effectively blocked by winning the nomination of the 2020 President.
Murphy said, “There are still a lot of people who consider Bernie a risk to the party,” Murphy said, “When I look at the main part of our message we need to build.”
Sanders was a staunch supporter of Biden in the last four years, but in the last fall, Kamla criticized the Democratic Party after the loss of Harris, and declared that Trump’s victory was possible because the Democrats “abandoned” the working class.
United Auto Toe Workers President Shn Fen, who presented Sanders in Michigan, said that more Democrats need to “follow their lead to focus on working class people and labor class issues.”
“In my opinion, they have to keep a close eye on the mirror, and decide who they want to present,” Fan said about the Democrats. “We have become clear as a union, if they are not looking for working class people, we will not be there for them.”
Voters speak
On the weekend, voters filled with places in Wisconsin and Michigan formed various groups, with some people who did not support Sanders’ past presidential campaigns. Most people said that Democratic leaders did not do enough to stop Trump.
“I’m here because I am afraid of our country. The last six weeks have been horrible, ”said Diana Shi CK K, 72, who participated in her first Sanders rally on Saturday. “I am a more pleased Bernie fan, especially in the light of work that he is traveling across the country. This is not a normal time. “
One night ago, a 50 -year -old medical worker Amber Shulz demanded that her party “take step and do something.”
“Bernie is the only politician I trust,” he said.
Tony Gonzales, independent of Wisconsin’s Pleasant Prery, said he was worried that Trump would break the “Historic Historic American standards” and try to stay in the Office Fiss outside this tenure. The President of the Constitution is forbidden to serve more than two terms, as Trump has suggested that he is the third character.
“It’s a dangerous time right now,” Gonzales said. “What Bernie has to say – and voting is important. His voice is still being heard. “
Sanders conveyed the same fiery Pulist message over the weekend that he has for decades, including free health care, non -public charges for high education and strong social security net programs. Sanders were especially focused on a team of billionaires, Trump has appointed to serve as a leader in his administration, including musk and half a dozen others.
“They want to end the federal government and to cut the programs they need.” Sanders warned.
“Yes, Oligarch is very powerful. They have an endless amount. They control our economy. Most of their media are owned, and they have a huge influence on our political system, “he said. “But from the bottom of my heart, I believe that if we stay with the stand, we can beat them.”
It is not clear that the Sanders, an octagonal hospital admitted to the heart condition during the 2020 campaign, will continue in this role. A spokesperson said that Sanders had no health problems with the 2019 episode.
He is not expected to slow down soon. Sanders are leaning on Faiz Shakir, his 2020 presidential campaign manager, to arrange his stops, supported by the employees of the former presidential campaign working on the basis of contract.
Shakir, who lost the bid to become the new chairman of the Democratic National Committee, accepts strategic differences in the party on how to face Trump.
Last month, P TE political strategist James Karvil wrote a part of an opinion to play “role over and dead”, saying that Trump and his party would eventually suffer political reactions to the voters.
“One theory is that you can play dead; You can strategically retreat, “Shakir said. “Or, you will play alive, and you go to people and you talk to them with conviction and integrity.”
