In the midst of the Trump First Hundred Days Of Chaos, Confusion, and Retribution, there are some leading Democrats who are not just staying silent, or just making statements.
Some are actively campaigning all over the nation against the horrors being perpetrated, and rallying everyday Americans to being activists in speaking out, marching, and demonstrating with strong commitment.
And the two most active political leaders doing so are indeed an “odd couple”—83 year old Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders,who caucuses with Democrats; and 35 year old New York City Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Imagine such a combination of two committed individuals who are, literally, 48 years apart in age!
