With the 2024 presidential race beginning to unfold, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont said he believes that President Joe Biden will again earn the Democratic nomination — and the president likely win reelection if he runs on a strong progressive campaign.
“I think at this moment … we have got to bring the progressive community together to say, you know what, we’re going to fight for a progressive agenda but we cannot have four more years of Donald Trump in the White House,” Sanders said Sunday on “Face the Nation.”
…
Sanders endorsed Mr. Biden in April. Sanders referenced several of those issues in underscoring what he believes is the importance of building “a strong progressive agenda” to win the presidency in 2024.
The infra bill was a huge shot in the arm and, based on the ads I’m seeing, he’s going to run on its passing… that bill is beyond amazing, but they should have gone harder. While the ~$1.6 trillion is an eye watering amount of money, ~$4-6 trillion is what was originally asked for and what is needed. Hopefully he’ll run on a Build Back Better: Part Deux. Also his appointees to the NLRB have been super progressive and aggressive, the return to Joy Silk will give the reinvigorated labor movement serious steam, but he also busted the RR workers ability to strike and he seriously shouldn’t have done that. Overall, I’m not mad at the Biden WH on domestic issues… but more is needed and he should have let the RR workers strike. Like, the economy be damned, call the hedge fund’s bet and end the Reagan era union busting.
“They” didn’t have control of Congress. Two Senators are Democrats but are much more centrist and won’t vote for certain things.
You mean the one that created a government function thats proposed to privatize water?
As well as mandated increasing federal fossil fuel extraction leases many times over before beginning any expansion of renewable energy.
It’s amazing how neoliberals will just blindly believe the propaganda of Politico, NYT and WaPo 🤦
As an actual climate lobbyist, the IRA is the single most effective piece of climate legislation ever passed.
They seem to be able to detect foreign propaganda and are immune to it, and deny US propaganda exists, despite living in the propagandized country on earth
And even then, they’re much better than Republicans who can’t detect and are extremely susceptible to foreign propaganda.
Of course, “much better than Republicans at resisting propaganda” is like “much better at bowling than an armadillo”. The species just isn’t built for it 🤷
