Thousands crowd Farm Show Complex for Bernie Sanders’ ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ tour
- On Friday, thousands of working people gathered at the Pennsylvania Farm Show venue in Harrisburg to attend Senator Bernie Sanders’ Fighting Oligarchy tour event.
- The event responded to widespread frustration over economic instability, wealth inequality, and dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump’s administration and GOP electoral gains in the state last year.
- Speakers condemned the growing sway of corporate power, pointing to Elon Musk’s $270 million backing of Trump’s 2024 campaign and his subsequent role overseeing efforts aimed at improving government efficiency, while stressing the importance of protecting the rights of working-class Americans.
- Sanders called for the dismantling of oligarchic power and encouraged grassroots efforts against authoritarianism, highlighting that a majority of Americans struggle financially between paychecks and expressing concern that younger generations may not achieve greater economic success than their parents.
- The rally highlighted ongoing debates within the Democratic Party about leadership and future direction, raising questions about reconnecting the working class with progressive political movements in a politically divided Pennsylvania.
