Help me understand though the effect these speeches actually have? Do Bernie and AOC lay out an actual plan for how they’re going to fight back? Is there a call to action? What is this beyond performative opposition?

It wouldn't surprise me if AOC is planning a run for President. She has fire in her belly and Bernie is a figure of progressive leadership. This is all acknowledgement of we see you, and we hear you to the DFL base and those who have been disenfranchised. My $0.02.

Please stop calling everything performative. What do you think the lunch counter sit-ins were? March on Washington? Movements require messages, community & even spectacles. Every successful change movement required speeches, meetings, spectacles, photo ops, and yes, signaling virtue. MLK was derided
