Next time anyone says that Biden didn't adopt anything from Bernie's platform, I will point to this.

This was Bernie's number in 2016. Now it's Biden's.

So Bernie has pulled Biden to the left.


In my opinion, Bernie's PLATFORM (not Bernie) is good for the party. Pulls it to the left. Also in my opinion, 30% of Democratic voters like what Bernie is saying. That's a nice healthy chunk.

I think as a result, in 2024, we will see more progressive candidates. Win-win.

If Bernie would just stick to pushing his platform without the name calling, and endorse down-stream progressive candidates, I would be a very happy camper.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
