Tag: Joe Biden

As Americans on the progressive left might have expected, the one politician who is responding with the seriousness and the kind of reassuring competence that his fellow citizens need in such a difficult time, is Bernie Sanders.

A successful progressive campaign needs to have the right message and agenda and the right relationship between a candidate with vision and credibility and longer-term progressive infrastructure.

But with the coronavirus plague sweeping the country, Biden and Bernie should take the time to negotiate a coalition platform and even write the new laws on which they can both agree.

A pair of campaign documents released this week by each candidate convey big differences in approach to the current unprecedented crisis.

With the odds in Biden’s favor, Priorities USA will now be the largest outside group in the race, and will use some of that budget backing the former vice president.

Biden will get the nomination. Sanders will do his best, as the DemonCrats's loyal soldier (and he is NOT even in their party!) to rally his troops, the tens of millions, to swallow their pride and support Biden.

The DNC’s candidate always gains in the counting. And that is highly suspicious.

The eventual nominee will have to bridge the divide between these factions within the party.

We await a persuasive argument that explains how and why Joe Biden will be the Democratic David to take down this Goonish Goliath.

While Tuesday must have felt like a terrible loss for American progressives, Sanders is still in a better place than he was during the same period in 2016.
