    Not “bizarre” at all; saying that just shows how out-of-touch MSM is.

    Trump’s base is mostly the same as AOC’s and Bernie’s: working class people who hate the status quo and want change. Only difference is Bernie and AOC’s change is for the positive because they blame the correct people — corporations and the capitalist class — while Trump’s change will be for the negative because he scapegoats marginalized people instead. And we know which one of them will receive corporate funding and thus come to power under a liberal “democracy”

    If socialist parties like the PSL or FRSO were influential enough, most of Trump’s supporters (and Dems) would be there instead. Because at the end of the day, most people are workers with the same interests.

    Don’t forget that this lady really got on the stage at the convention and shouted the lie that the Biden-Harris administration have been working tirelessly for a ceasefire in Gaza.

    Well the voters we’re talking about here aren’t super informed, presumably. They’re unhappy with the status quo and both Trump and AOC say they recognize the status quo is bad. It honestly doesn’t seem surprising, what should be surprising is the consultant class who blew more than a billion dollars on a no change campaign with 75% “wrong track” polling are alllll going to keep their jobs and good standing and keep running the DNC further into the ditch.
