Bernie Sanders is scheduled to hold a political rally in Los Angeles on Sunday (March 1) as he continues his campaign for the Democratic presidential bid.
Public EnemyRadio — Chuck D, Public Enemy’s longtime turntablist DJ Lord and Jahi of PE 2.0 — has been scheduled to take the stage. The multi-media performance also features the SW1s and curated elements from Public Enemy’s archives.
Chuck D, who has been politically outspoken since stepping on the scene with Public Enemy in the 1980s, says it’s time for action.
“This is spring of 2020, a year of hindsight and clear vision,” the pioneering MC tells HipHopDX. “It’s no longer tolerable to just pontificate and not do shit. The Bernie rally is not so much of an endorsement as it is common ass sense. People gotta realize, whoever they vote for isn’t going to be Jesus. They should recognize we have a wannabe Hitler in the White House.

“That’s it. Clarity. If there’s anything that resonates with me, it’s I hate the two-party system. But we’re all affected by health care, child care and climate change. What the fuck is going to take care of that?”
The rally takes place at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Doors open at 3 p.m. and the event starts at 5 p.m. Comedian Sarah Silverman and veteran actor Dick Van Dyke will also be in attendance. Find more information here.
I find it it hard to understand how anyone with money would support a communist/socialist. It’s never worked anywhere. It’s an idea that’s rooted in jealousy and greed; that’s passed off a noble idea. My favorite artists wouldn’t be wealthy if it wasn’t for capitalism/free market. Everyone get ready to stand in bread lines, and get sent to a re-education camp.
You do know socialism and communism are totally different right? Apparently not. Well, in that case you should give back those commie public schools, don’t drive on those commie public highways, and you definitely better not call that commie ass fire department if your house starts to burn down.
U big dumbass, public highways? You do realize those highways are tax payer paid, right? Do u ever see the signs by construction zones that tell us how our tax money is being spent? We pay for the police and fire as well. Boy, you’re really stupid. It’s sad to see you can vote. Nothing is free, bozo!
You do know that the goal of socialism is communism right? Socialism is the idea (an idea based in greed), and communism is the outcome when all the money runs out. The only people who get rich off these things are the government. Look up what happened to Brazil. Do your research before you make an attempt at being condescending.
So many complete jackass like you who think taxpayer funded projects equate to communism and socialism. Learn more. America is free market capitalism. You do understand that our roads and schools are built by private construction companies, not government workers, right? Socialism would be like if USA government made your cell phone, and not apple
Surprising. Chuck surprised me with this. Everything has a price
Bernie as President is the best possible result in 2020.
I disagree. I like capitalist policy. Socialist policy is for those who cannot become a success. People like myself will do worse with Bernie policy, because I am a hard worker. Middle class would get fucked in the ass HARD. I already pay enough taxes in NY man! If Bernie becomes president (he won’t), I promise you, the economy will collapse. I will sell all of my stock portfolio, and so will everyone I know. I will sell all of my properties and assets. I will pull every penny from the bank. Then, I will go off the books, claim zero income, and pay zero taxes. Fuck socialism, I’m not gonna work hard just to have everything taken away from me with promises that the same Gov that still claims Marijuana has zero medicinal use will provide for my health…
You are really dumb, feel it . You must not make adult paychecks if you think Bernie is a good idea for this country. Nobody that makes good income would vote for this tool. He has the EBT/illegal/brainwashed idiot/college commie votes that’s for sure. The rest of the adults will cite for Trump.
Vote*
Bernie might be good for complete losers, who depend on the government for everything. But those of us who own our own businesses, lots of stocks, lots of assets, ect, it will be terrible for. Losers who are financially idiotic support Bernie. Because they suck at life.
Read what Boots Riley of The Coup wrote about voting for Bernie for President. It’s not about Bernie, it’s about pushing a movement of working peoples in the US.
Imagine being so “woke” you can’t sleep. You should re read what he said about Bernie, and the “movement”. Or not. I’ve learned that people just want to be a part of something. Even if they know nothing about the issue as a while. Let’s see if this comment gets posted lol
I can’t stand this pontificating annoying old man. Imagine listening to him for 4-8 years. No thanks.
is that fist pump motion actually a black supremacist expression? fuck that. sanders is a communist, a far left politician, who could be a president in what has always been a capitalist country. I read his policy the other day, nothing about foreign policy and may be some other things he missed. and don’t talk to me about fighting the power public enemy and Bernie sanders because it might just turn around and bite you in the ass.
Nothing like “fighting the system” by electing a socialist who wants the government to control every aspect of your life lol…
Capitalism is for the strong. Those who follow their dreams, live in BIG houses, have multiple cars, a great retirement, and lots of guns! Socialism is got the weak. Those who want to have everything in life provided to them. America has a lot of losers and idiots nowadays, so I understand why socialism osinds appealing to them. They are losers, and will always be losers. Those of us who are not losers, are saying “fuck off, don’t take my money, and don’t touch my guns”.
Damn idiots thinking Bernie will get anything done! He’s a commie puppet, fools. He hasn’t done $-h-I-t in all his time holding office and these morons think NOW he is serious!? He made himself rich with pay for play scams that’s all. He will tax 52% of our income and give it to illegals and pocket the rest. You have to be a complete retard to vote for this socialist/communist. I guess the flashy Che Guevara like posters help his cause. People are that stupid where they think they’re renegades and revolutionaries if they become slaves to the nanny state. Look at all the champagne socialist rappers and other idiots celebs backing this Jjjj hew. They’re also Bernie Sanders rich, they are not living like how you and I live.
It’s sad to see that people still take the bs rich ass celebs spews out their puppet mouths seriously. These people are not in the same tax bracket as most of us middle class citizens. They can rant all they want about Bernie, but if you don’t research the guy and see what he’s all about, you’re playing yourself. He is not going to be President. Ever. Bernie is not a man of the people, and you have to have a brain to actually realize that.
Arguing about politics online – specifically a hip hop website – is about the biggest waste of time in the world. Go get lives people.
Complete idiots in the comments claiming taxpayer funded roads and schools equates to socialism lol. They obviously are completely ignorant to what socialism is. Taxpayer funded projects that are proposed by people we elect, IS NOT SOCIALISM. Socialism is when all private industry ceases to exist, and everything is nationalized. That would mean the Government would personally manufacture your goods, cars, phones, roads, ect… Socialism is when private property does not exist. The only major difference between socialism and communism, is that with socialism, you vote for your leaders
Communism, you don’t. Venezuela was a “socialist paradise” according to Bernie Sanders. One of the richest countries in history, with the world’s most oil. In 2012, life was so great in Venezuela, that they outlaws all private ownership of guns. The people were happy to do so, as life was great! Then, a few years later, Maduro, the dictator, turned on the people. If u try to leave Venezuela for help, you will be shot by a government firing squad. The industry is all gone, because Venezuela nationalized it. Venezuela recently shutdown the last of their manufacturing plants, but opened up one to make automatic firearms to use on the people, in order to maintain his illegal leadership. They lost their right to vote. Why? Because that’s all it takes to go downhill that badly. Luckily, Americans will never give up their guns, which keeps us safe from something like that.
Capitalism is like “survival of the fittest”, and socialism is like being an animal in a zoo sanctuary with no freedom. I’ll take survival of the fittest any day! It’s ironic that the same people who chant “fuck the government” (like public enemy), supporting Bernie, who vows to have government control every singly aspect of your life.
