The 83-year-old progressive icon took the stage ahead of indie pop artist Clairo’s performance to deliver a fiery speech, where he raged against President Donald Trump, corporate greed and the billionaire class.

    Because he recognizes the dangerous situation we’re in and articulates a positive vision for the future, and the changes needed to get there.

          Dang. Don’t over exert yourself. That looked like a hard find. Remember to stretch, get some water and use proper posture when using the Internet for this long!

          I understand he’s currently touring and fundraising.

          Thing is, I have yet to hear anything concrete about how to fight back?

          Taxing the wealthy, Medicare for all, free public college, and critiquing the oligarchs are all great political buzzwords, but billionaires are currently deporting individuals as well as dismantling the government.

          I’m wise enough not to blindly trust politicians. The day he truly fights back, I’ll support him. For now, it looks like sanewashing and virtue signaling.
