Presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden debuted a series of “unity” guidelines, authored with the help of a Joe Biden-Bernie Sanders “unity task force,” and while a number of the Vermont socialist’s most progressive policies aren’t listed among the “compromise” positions, a great deal of the guidance pulls directly from Sanders’ agenda.

The “unity” plan is designed to prevent clashes between Biden supporters and Sanders supporters during the Democratic National Convention’s policy platform sessions, and the task force is charged with making recommendations directly to the DNC to avoid conflicts between moderates and progressives, per the New York Post.
