Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) made a compelling case to his fellow progressives for why they have to vote for President Joe Biden.
Sen. Sanders was requested if he might, in good conscience, ask his supporters to vote for President Biden.
Sanders answered, “Well, look, the contrast that I think President Biden made it very clear in the State of the Union address. If you believe that climate change is real, you’ve got to vote for President Biden, if you believe that women have a right to control their own bodies, you’ve got to vote for President Biden. If you think that at time of massive income and wealth inequality, you don’t give trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the 1%, you’ve got to vote for Biden. If you want to lower the cost of prescription drugs, you’ve got to vote for Biden. If you believe in democracy, and involving people in the process, rather than keeping people from voting, you have to vote for Biden.”
When requested in regards to the Gaza concern, Sanders stated, “I am saying we’ve got to come, not put it aside. The fight continues to change Biden’s policy in Gaza. But the contrast between Biden and Trump is day and night. The election of Trump would be a disaster for this country. And in my view of the world, we’ve got to come together, reelect Biden, but at the same time, we have to demand that we have a progressive agenda, where we have an economy that works for all, not just a few.”

One of the best ways for progressives to get the coverage adjustments that they’re looking for is to advocate to Joe Biden. Not supporting Biden means electing Trump, which might be a catastrophe for progressives and your entire nation.
Progressives at the moment have a seat on the desk with Biden as president, however that seat will disappear if Donald Trump wins in 2024.
Biden has helped progressives make loads of progress on their agenda, and the administration’s coverage on Gaza is shifting, so it may very well be argued that progressives are having an impression on altering the coverage on Gaza.
Progressives would throw away years of progress in the event that they don’t assist Biden and Trump wins the election.
Bernie Sanders was proper, as he laid out why progressives ought to be sure that Joe Biden wins a second time period.
