New ‘Urbanist Party’: Sanders, AOC, Hogg

By Paul Bedard | Washington Examiner With the Democratic Party continuing to splinter, progressives are building and expanding their base, especially in big cities and suburbs. As worn-out old bulls fight for power in Washington, the big population zones are opening their arms to the progressives led by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Rep.

True to form, the party of leftist radicals prefers to bend reality—relying on rent-a-protesters or, in this case, inorganic crowds—to create a false perception of popularity. And that's exactly what unfolded on Friday in Denver.  Drone footage shows a large crowd as U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, spoke at Denver's Civic Center. The outspoken socialist wrote on X: "34,000 people out in Denver. Largest political rally there since 2008."  Sanders attempted to explain that the large turnout reflected what voters are saying: "No to authoritarianism. No to oligarchy...
