Bernie Sanders and AOC are running a campaign rally in Michigan this weekend (July 19-20) with progressive Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed ahead of the August 4 Democratic primary. The rally is part of their larger "The People vs. The Powerful" anti-oligarchy tour — an attempt to highlight concerns about money's role in Democratic primaries. Sanders points to spending in the race as evidence that outside money is drowning out grassroots participation, which reflects real spending disparities in the election. The pro-Israel super PACs active in the race, including those affiliated with AIPAC, are significantly funded by wealthy donors — though the post doesn't acknowledge that other super PACs beyond those groups are also spending to influence the outcome.
