Presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden debuted a series of &#8220;unity&#8221; guidelines, authored with the help of a Joe Biden-Bernie Sanders &#8220;unity task force,&#8221; and while a number of the Vermont socialist&#8217;s most progressive policies aren&#8217;t listed among the &#8220;compromise&#8221; positions, a great deal of the guidance pulls directly from Sanders&#8217; agenda.
The &#8220;unity&#8221; plan is designed to prevent clashes between Biden supporters and Sanders supporters during the Democratic National Convention&#8217;s policy platform sessions, and the task force is charged with making recommendations directly to the DNC to avoid conflicts between moderates and progressives, <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/07/09/sanders-hails-biden-for-largely-moderate-unity-proposals/">per the New York Post</a>.
Sen. Bernie Sanders backed the proposal in a statement issued Wednesday.
“While Joe Biden and I, and our supporters, have strong disagreements about some of the most important issues facing our country, we also understand that we must come together in order to defeat Donald Trump, the most dangerous president in modern American history,&#8221; he said. “Though the end result is not what I or my supporters would have written alone, the task forces have created a good policy blueprint that will move this country in a much-needed progressive direction and substantially improve the lives of working families throughout our country.&#8221;
But there&#8217;s very little from Sanders&#8217; agenda left off the unity guidelines, aside from his &#8220;Medicare for All&#8221; plan, which would have required Biden, one of the primary backers of the Obama administration&#8217;s Affordable Care Act, to abrogate his support for his former boss&#8217;s signature achievement.
The guidelines do not include support for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s &#8220;Green New Deal,&#8221; but the missive is just the first of many and touches only briefly on environmental issues. The guidelines do recommend that Democrats “commit to eliminating carbon pollution from power plants by 2035 through technology-neutral standards for clean energy and energy efficiency.”
A primary focus of the first set of &#8220;unity guidelines,&#8221; however, is education &#8212; and for that, they pull extensively from Sanders&#8217; own platform. In fact, the guidelines destroy nearly all competition for public schools.
&#8220;The plan bans for-profit private charter schools, opposes private school vouchers, and any policies that would take taxpayer-funded resources away from the public school system,&#8221; the plan notes. &#8220;The platform aims to put an end to the school-to-prison pipeline and pledges &#8216;adequate resources&#8217; for hiring guidance counselors, social workers, and school psychologists.&#8221;
The plan also calls for &#8220;the reinstatement of Title IX protections for transgender students and protections for LGBT students from discrimination,&#8221; <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-bernie-sanders-unity-task-forces-release-dnc/story?id=71670170">per ABC News</a>.
On criminal justice reform, they guidelines pull directly from Sanders&#8217; policy sheet, recommending a &#8220;civilian corps&#8221; of non-police first responders who can handle 911 calls instead of police, according to Republican strategist Steve Guest.

Today, Joe Biden’s unity task force released recommendations for the DNC platform that crib straight from Bernie Sanders’ radical agenda.

The guidelines also crib generously from Sanders&#8217; social security policy.
As Guest notes, the &#8220;unity&#8221; policy does seem to make one thing clear: Democrats are concerned that progressives will defect from the party and refuse to support Biden as the nominee, even though the specter of President Donald Trump&#8217;s re-election looms large. That concern largely makes Sanders &#8212; not Biden &#8212; the controlling force in the 2020 election and, if Biden wins, could lead to a much more progressive administration than previously predicted.

2020 Election

Bernie Sanders

Joe Biden

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) may be in line with the Democratic Party when it comes to the 2020 contender, but his progressive supporters may not be, according to a Wednesday report in <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/506303-progressives-wary-as-biden-talks-compromise-with-gop">The Hill</a>.
Although the Biden campaign has made every effort to court and win progressive support &#8212; including a push to put progressive and Democratic Socialist superstars like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on its policy teams &#8212; the relationship between the Biden campaign and certain far-left elements of the party is still tenuous and after a week of campaign announcements focusing largely on Republican (and former Republican) support for the former Veep, progressives are speaking out.
“Biden is transparently taking a bet to win over a group of anti-Trump Republicans but at the expense of what? Potentially losing some of the largest movements in history?” progressive activist and Sanders supporter Nomi Kurst told The Hill. “His excitement is extremely low and that should always be alarming for candidates. It’s the Hillary Clinton strategy all over again.&#8221;
Biden has been open about courting &#8220;compromise&#8221; voters, particularly so-called &#8220;Never Trump&#8221; Republicans and other conservatives who fear giving the current president another four years in office. Groups like the Lincoln Project are openly targeting Trump from the center-right, and just last week, a group of former George W. Bush administration staffers announced their own effort to unseat Trump, a super PAC named &#8220;43 Alumni for Biden.&#8221;
Biden has welcomed these efforts with open arms, and speaking over the weekend, stressed his ability to extend an olive branch across the aisle.
&#8220;It’s how our government was designed to work,” Biden told the National Education Association, the nation&#8217;s largest teachers union. “I’ve done it my whole life. No one’s ever doubted my word, and I’ve been able to bring Democrats and Republicans together in the United States Congress to pass big things, to deal with big issues.”
Progressives say they may bolt the party, though, if Biden keeps up efforts to woo Republicans, stressing that partisan rancor is at an all-time high and Republicans are likely to oppose Biden policy efforts once he takes office.
“It’s very hard to understand why after going through eight years of the Obama administration that Joe Biden thinks we’ll be able to carve out grand deals with Republicans,” one activist told The Hill. “The way we’ll get Republicans to the table is by having a progressive movement in the Democratic Party that is strong enough to force them there.&#8221;
That is, of course, unlikely. Although Sanders was the last remaining threat to Biden in the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, it appears his market-share has diminished since 2016. The Vermont socialist did not &#8220;expand the electorate&#8221; as he claimed, and his numbers with young voters and voters of color &#8212; two very important 2020 constituencies &#8212; declined from 2016 to 2020.
But if they can&#8217;t force Biden to the left on the campaign trail, progressive groups say, they&#8217;ll try to force Biden to the left in the White House, according to at least one far-left strategist: “We should be investing time in building a much more powerful movement that will have to, without a doubt, fight a President Biden and a tidal wave of corporate interests who never go away and will have the usual access to the White House.&#8221;

Progressive Biden Supporters Pledge Revolt If Dem Nominee Leans Too Moderate, Courts Republicans

Donald Trump

Progressivism

As you already know, we’ve descended into full idiocy. The world — with its cancel culture and PC police, its race riots and pandemic panic — has gone insane, and there’s no end in sight.
Think that’s hyperbole? Then consider this: CNN wants to ban such “racist” words and phrases as “blackball,” “sold down the river,” “whitelist” and, of course, “master bedroom.” The liberal cable network notes that the term “master bedroom” first appeared in 1926 — 63 years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing the slaves — but adds this wonderful line, “While it’s unclear whether the term is rooted in American slavery on plantations, it evokes that history.”
What’s the point of all the madness, you ask? It’s all to discredit President Trump, which CNN and most every liberal “news” outlet has been painting as a blatant racist since before he moved into the White House.
And for CNN, it’s a game they play openly and brazenly.
Case in point: Trump’s visit to Mount Rushmore on Independence Day weekend. CNN called the massive carved sculptures of Lincoln, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Teddy Roosevelt a “monument of two slave owners” on “land wrestled away from Native Americans.”
But the monument was something very different when Democratic President Barack Obama visited the monument.
“Barack Obama is campaigning in South Dakota,” CNN anchor Ron Marciano said in 2008. “That state’s primary is Tuesday. Obama arrived there late last night and got a good look around Mount Rushmore — it’s quite a sight if you haven’t seen it.”
“Barack Obama is in South Dakota today,” added fellow CNN anchor Betty Nguyen. “He arrived there last night. Take a look at this. He got a good glimpse of the majestic Mount Rushmore.”
On Friday, when Trump visited, somehow the site had morphed into a racist ode to slave owners.
“At a time of racial unease, when protesters are tearing down statues of slaveholders and calling for the names of Confederate generals to be removed from army bases, the Rushmore event is a reminder that Trump is fighting to preserve these relics of heritage and history that some see as symbols of oppression,” CNN’s Washington correspondent Joe Johns said. “And to indigenous people, Mount Rushmore, with four white presidents, two of whom were slave owners, is one of those symbols.”
CNN correspondent Leyla Santiago echoed the sentiment. “President Trump will be at Mount Rushmore, where he’ll be standing in front of a monument of two slave owners and on land wrestled away from Native Americans told that, uh, be focusing on the effort to ‘tear down our country’s history,’” she said.
During her report, a chyron on screen said, “Reexamining ‘Independence’ Day” (yes, the word “Independence” in quotes). And at the end, anchor Jake Tapper said simply: “All right. Leyla Santiago, with that report, thank you so much.”
CNN also turned to an “expert” — Sioux Falls Argus Leader columnist Stu Whitney — who said: “I think that is a source of concern for people that see this certainly within a state with a Native American population nearly 10% and much higher in Rapid City, concerned about a place that has a lot of spiritual significance. And historical significance when you look at what they and most historians consider to be broken promises and broken treaties.”
Many astute viewers caught the blatant two-faced bias. Trump campaign Deputy Director of Communications Zach Parkinson posted a video clip from 2016, when then-presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders visited the monument.
“In 2016, CNN’s Jeff Zeleny called Mount Rushmore a ‘monument to four great American presidents’ &#8230; Bernie Sanders said ‘this is our country at its very best,’ called it an ‘incredible achievement,’ and said it ‘really does make one very proud to be an American,’” Parkinson wrote on Twitter.
He added: “Fascinating how CNN called Mount Rushmore ‘majestic’ and ‘quite a sight’ in 2008 when Obama visited, but now it&#8217;s a symbol of slavery and stolen land.”

And he noted that CNN’s Jim Acosta — a longtime sufferer of Trump Derangement Syndrome — gushed when Obama visited Mount Rushmore, calling it in 2008 a “fitting stop for a presidential contender.”
Others chimed in. “Pursuant to the new moral stricture promulgated this week by the NYT &amp; CNN — that Mount Rushmore is a shameful monument to racism and white supremacy — both CNN and Bernie Sanders ought to repent for this praise they jointly heaped on it in 2016,” said Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept.

The answer: The president now is a Republican, not a Democrat.

US-POLITICS-HOLIDAY-TRUMP

CURL: CNN Exposes Deep Bias In Widely Different Coverage Of Trump, Obama Visits To Mount Rushmore

Barack Obama

Media Bias

Mount Rushmore

The vast majority of us know who Adolf Hitler was. Even with the slightest level of historical understanding, we know that he was an evil man with an evil ideology responsible for millions of deaths. As a result, anyone who is accused of holding even a fraction of Hitler’s political views is judged with an understandable level of scorn, and those who openly align themselves with such an ideology are rightly exiled from mainstream society.
This is an easy position to understand. After all, one only has to look at the unimaginable violence ushered in by the totalitarian fascism of Nazi Germany to know that such an ideology is based on entirely immoral principles. However, if death tolls mean that Nazism, fascism, and white supremacy are evil ideologies, why is the same basic logic not applied to the politics of the far Left?
Under the ruthless communist dictatorship of the Soviet Union alone, according to the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/100-years-of-communismand-100-million-dead-1510011810">Wall Street Journal</a>, “victims include 200,000 killed during the Red Terror (1918-22); 11 million dead from famine and dekulakization; 700,000 executed during the Great Terror (1937-38); 400,000 more executed between 1929 and 1953; 1.6 million dead during forced population transfers; and a minimum 2.7 million dead in the Gulag, labor colonies and special settlements.”
After the murder of at least 16,600,000 civilians, surely those with even a tangential connection to this regime would be wholeheartedly rejected by a political party who claim to advocate for peace and tolerance? Quite the opposite! Bernie Sanders, who has praised dictators and leftist regimes on multiple occasions – and even <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6989969/Topless-Sanders-banqueting-Soviet-Union-attacked-U-S-foreign-interventions.html">spent his honeymoon</a> in the Soviet Union – now leads the so-called “progressive” wing of the Democratic Party, which represents the party base.
If we take other communist and socialist regimes into account, including China, North Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Cuba, and Venezuela, the estimated death count rockets to <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=H1jsgYCoRioC">almost 100 million people</a>. This number is more than five times greater than that of Nazi Germany, and yet the continued promulgation of the politics of communism, socialism, and Marxism is permitted in a way that would be (thankfully) unimaginable if it were applied to Nazism or fascism.
The shocking acceptance of radical Leftism simply must end if we hope to prevent continued damage in the wake of this evil ideology. When politicians such as Bernie Sanders praise or effectively apologize for the actions of murderous dictators, they should be cast out of polite society with the same fervor as if someone said, “Hitler may have killed lots of Jews, but the roads sure were pretty!”
Sanders <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/24/us/bernie-sanders-fidel-castro-florida.html">said</a>: “When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?”
This problem exists even at the pinnacle of American Leftism. The fact that a potential vice presidential candidate survived <a href="https://youtu.be/t8ZWtqIzmQI">refusing to reject Marxism</a> – while offering a disingenuous apology for praising Fidel Castro – should terrify anyone who values freedom and liberty.
The number of graves beneath history’s bloodthirsty communist and socialist regimes is staggering.
Had it not been for the United States, these numbers would have continued to rise as radical Leftism spread across the globe. The United States must continue to stand as the world’s greatest single force against totalitarianism and tyranny. This crucial moral battle will become impossible if we continue to allow these ideologies to fester within our borders.

Key Democrat legislators, including socialist Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and members of the Congressional Black Caucus, are pushing back on calls to &#8220;defund the police,&#8221; Politico reports Tuesday, even as progressives are pushing forward with the plan in cities like Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Los Angeles, California.
In <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-new-yorker-interview/bernie-sanders-is-not-done-fighting">a New Yorker profile</a> published Tuesday, Sanders, whose campaign platform included calls for massive social and political change, said he opposes defunding and disbanding police departments and is, instead, committed to &#8220;transforming&#8221; most police departments by providing officers with better resources to handle calls involving individuals suffering from mental illness or deprivation.
&#8220;Do I think we should not have police departments in America? No, I don’t,&#8221; Sanders told The New Yorker. &#8220;There’s no city in the world that does not have police departments. What you need are—I didn’t call for more money for police departments. I called for police departments that have well-educated, well-trained, well-paid professionals.&#8221;
Sanders suggested making law enforcement jobs higher paid and more appealing to those with higher levels of education, but as for abolishing police departments? &#8220;I don’t agree,&#8221; Sanders said.
It seems other key Democrats agree. The <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/06/08/nancy-pelosi-defund-police-question/">Daily Caller reports</a> that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) refused to respond to questions about defunding police departments at a press conference yesterday, instead referring reporters to legislation proposed early Monday.
&#8220;On if they support Defund the Police movement, @speakerpelosi, and @RepKarenBass don’t say directly but say they have more legislation coming that deals with ‘jobs and justice,'&#8221; NBC News reporter Leigh Ann Caldwell tweeted, adding that the Speaker, particularly, was eager to pass the buck. &#8220;Pelosi says they need to &#8216;rebalance some of our funding&#8217; and have those debates at the local level.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/08/defund-police-democrats-307766">Politico reports Tuesday</a> that even members of the Congressional Black Caucus, largely the driving force behind anti-racism and law enforcement reform efforts at the federal level, are pressing back on progressive calls to defund the police.
&#8220;I think it can be used as a distraction and that’s my concern,” Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA), the CBC&#8217;s chairwoman told reporters. “I think the intent behind it is something that I support — the idea that communities need investments.”
“We’re keeping our eyes on the prize, and that needs to be the story. State and local will do what state and local needs to do,” Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE.), another member of the CBC added. “We are the Congress. What we’re doing here today is our role.”
Rep. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who has a solid reputation as a more moderate Democrat legislator, put it more bluntly, according to Politico: “You can’t defund the police, that’s stupid, it’s crazy and anyone who talks about that is nuts,” he said. “You have to have the police.”
Since the bumper sticker slogan surfaced at anti-racism protests last week, even progressives have tried to water down calls for &#8220;defunding,&#8221; arguing that the phrase means simple &#8220;reforms&#8221; or &#8220;community reinvestment,&#8221; while refusing to alter the term.

Bernie Sanders, Key Dems Pushing Back On ‘Defund The Police’ As Progressives Press Forward

Nancy Pelosi

Police

Bernie Sanders&#8217; staffers who aren&#8217;t on board with the socialist Vermont Senator&#8217;s shift to supporting former Vice President-turned-presumptive 2020 Democratic nominee Joe Biden have declared war on those who are, and the battle royale between factions spilled over onto social media over the weekend.
Sanders and his top advisors, Faiz Shakir and Analilia Mejia, are reportedly in the middle of inking a deal with Biden&#8217;s team which would preserve Sanders&#8217; delegates but allow for Sanders and his allies to exert influence over the Democratic party platform, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/03/staffers-lash-out-in-bernie-world-meltdown-299545">according to Politico</a>.
But the tete-a-tete isn&#8217;t sitting well with career progressives and former hardcore Sanders&#8217; supporters like David Sirota, who exploded in a rage at Shakir and Meija over the weekend, accusing them of throwing in with so-called Beltway insiders.
“I don&#8217;t know who needs to hear this, but many of us don&#8217;t want to hear career Beltway political operatives boasting about task forces while this sh*t is going on right now,” Sirota said, referring to ongoing racial unrest &#8212; a prime moment for progressives who have been working on the issue for some time. “Jfc — try to be a little less tone-deaf.”
Sanders&#8217; current spokesman, Politico says, responded with a charge of his own: that Sirota, had absconded with confidential campaign documents.
“[D]amn right,” Mike Casca shot back, “real change happens when you steal an email list from the campaign and use it to create your own paid newsletter. why can’t anyone see that? anyway, subscribe if you can.”
It didn&#8217;t end there. Casca&#8217;s parting shot set off a wave of aggressive Tweets on the part of current Sanders allies, all defending their decision to throw in with more &#8220;moderate&#8221; Democrats like Biden in an effort to be part of a larger coalition charged with defeating President Donald Trump in November.
&#8220;I hate engaging, but this is ridiculous,&#8221; Shakir wrote on Twitter in response to charges he was selling out to Biden&#8217;s team. &#8220;Trump&#8217;s gassing protesters, but I’m the real enemy. For what? Trying with every fiber of my being to get Bernie elected but coming in 2nd. And then trying to get the 1st place finisher to move in a progressive direction and defeat Trump.&#8221;
That coalition has yielded some results for Sanders &#8212; or, at least, better results for Sanders this time around than in 2016, when his refusal to get on board with the Hillary Clinton for President campaign left progressives shut out of the platform and convention.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), a key Sanders surrogate, is on Biden&#8217;s environmental policy team, and Biden is reportedly considering publicly backing her &#8220;Green New Deal.&#8221; Sanders, who may have been out of the headlines altogether by this point in the nomination process, is being tapped to help flesh out the Biden campaign&#8217;s platform on income inequality.
But the battle for Sanders continues.

‘Bernie World’ Melts Down As Staffers Go Public In Sanders Campaign Civil War

Former Vice President Joe Biden could clinch the Democratic presidential nomination as early as this Tuesday, if Washington, D.C., goes ahead with its Democratic primary.
Eight states will hold their primaries on Tuesday, June 2nd, many of them make-up primaries, for elections that would have been held during late March, April, or May, but were canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. Washington, D.C., had its primary scheduled for June 2nd, and the vote will go ahead as planned.
Biden, who is the Democrats&#8217; presumptive 2020 presidential nominee, has yet to technically &#8220;clinch&#8221; the nomination &#8212; that is, earn the 1,991 delegates necessary to claim the nomination outright through a first-round convention vote. Currently, Biden stands at 1,566 delegates to Sen. Bernie Sanders&#8217; (I-VT)  1,007, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/june-2-primaries">according to Fox News</a>, which previewed Tuesday&#8217;s elections on Monday morning.
Biden needs just 425 more delegates to secure his position and there are 479 delegates available on Tuesday.
There is one hiccup: Sanders and other candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination have not removed their names from contention on most state ballots.
Sanders, for one, is preserving his campaign in order to collect enough delegates to have an impact on the Democratic party platform, which will also be voted on at the Democratic National Convention, regardless of whether it is an in-person or fully online event. Others like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MN), have wrapped their efforts, but have made no concerted effort to force states to scrub their names from ballots.
&#8220;I will stay on the ballot in all remaining states and continue to gather delegates,” Sanders said when wrapping his presidential bid. “We must continue working to assemble as many delegates as possible at the Democratic convention where we will be able to exert significant influence over the party platform and other functions.”
He went on to ink a deal with Biden&#8217;s campaign to keep his delegates.
In some states holding make-up elections, candidates like Warren and Sanders were still active at the time of their original primaries and will be available choices on make-up ballots.
Joe Biden may be the presumptive nominee, but until he clinches the nomination outright, there is still a chance of a brokered convention &#8212; a convention where no candidate wins a statistical majority of delegates throwing the decision to a second convention vote. At that point, although Biden is still the frontrunner, the party could choose to oust the former Veep and replace him with a more viable option.
So far, Biden is running about ten points ahead of President Donald Trump nationally and within four or five points of Trump in most battleground states, leaving him a strong candidate in the 2020 presidential election, but the presidential campaign has yet to start in earnest and Biden has achieved his lead largely by staying out of the spotlight, leaving national polls more of a referendum on Trump&#8217;s performance and less of a political contest.

Joe Biden Set To Clinch Democratic Nomination Tuesday After DC Primary

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has fully committed to supporting former Vice President Joe Biden, and now his delegates will too &#8212; if they still want to be Sanders delegates, that is.
The <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/sanders-delegates-biden-agreement_n_5ec5e47bc5b63c61f51bd3e2">HuffPost reports</a> that, after a series of high-profile incidents concerning former Sanders staffers and members of Sanders&#8217; delegate coalition, the Vermont socialist is making his confirmed delegates sign a &#8220;loyalty pledge&#8221; promising they will not openly criticize Joe Biden. The pledge includes a &#8220;social media policy&#8221; and a &#8220;code of conduct agreement.&#8221;
&#8220;The Sanders campaign sent out the 5-page agreements that threaten delegates can be removed the delegation should they violate any provisions,&#8221; HuffPost says, citing the Washington Post, which first got wind of the deal. &#8220;The campaign also asks signatories to &#8216;refrain from making negative statements about other candidates, party leaders, Campaigns, Campaign staffers, supporters, news organizations or journalists.'&#8221;
Sanders has struggled to keep his supporters, former staffers, and delegates from attacking Biden, even as Sanders himself has led the way on forging a compromise with the more &#8220;moderate&#8221; presumptive nominee, and major Sanders surrogates, like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), have risen to prominent roles on Biden&#8217;s advisory committees.
Sanders&#8217; former press secretary, Briahna Joy Gray, has been openly opposed to allowing Biden to take the nomination despite remaining primaries, tweeting, &#8220;I don&#8217;t endorse Joe Biden&#8230;I supported Bernie Sanders because he backed ideas like <a class="PrettyLink hashtag customisable" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MedicareForAll?src=hash" rel="tag" data-query-source="hashtag_click" data-scribe="element:hashtag">#MedicareForAll</a>, cancelling ALL student debt, &amp; a wealth tax. Biden supports none of those.&#8221;
The delegate pledge targets positions like that directly, warning, “Before tweeting or posting from your personal social media accounts, ask yourself these questions: If this appeared on the front page of The New York Times, would it compromise Bernie Sanders’s message, credibility, or reputation?”
&#8220;This Campaign is about the issues and finding solutions to America’s problems. Our job is to differentiate the senator from his opponents on the issues — not through personal attacks,&#8221; the code of conduct says.
Sanders aides defended the pledge, telling the HuffPost that delegates are expected to take their job seriously, and if they can&#8217;t ascribe to a certain level of professionalism, they may not deserve their positions.
“When delegates attend the Democratic convention, they will be representing Sen. Sanders, the ideas he ran on and the millions of working people who supported his campaign,” Sanders’ campaign spokesman said. “That is a serious responsibility and we’re asking them to follow a basic code of conduct while carrying out that duty.”
Although the directive came from Bernie Sanders, its likely Joe Biden pressed the pledge in an effort to avoid the issues that plagued failed 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton&#8217;s relationship with her former opponent. Sensing that Sanders had been &#8220;robbed&#8221; of his rightful place at the top of that ticket, Sanders&#8217; supporters staged something of a mutiny, refusing to cast ballots for Clinton.
Biden, knowing he&#8217;s likely running on a razor-thin margin against President Donald Trump, particularly in battleground states, needs to avoid that same bad press, particularly among likely Democrat voters.

Bernie Sanders Makes Delegates Sign A Pledge Promising They Won’t Bash Biden

Now that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has signed on to former Vice President Joe Biden&#8217;s campaign, leaving many of his supporters without a leader and his operation struggling to figure out what&#8217;s next, progressives are &#8220;in despair&#8221; and in political trouble, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/18/progressives-democratic-party-despair-255675">per a Politico report</a> Monday.
Sanders promised that the Democratic &#8220;Establishment&#8221; would not stand in the way of a progressive &#8212; even socialist &#8212; agenda, but &#8220;not only did the &#8216;establishment&#8217; stop Sanders,&#8221; Politico says, &#8220;it stamped out the candidacies of a string of left-wing insurgents, leaving the progressive movement reeling and in a state of despair.&#8221;
&#8220;Three highly-touted liberal House candidates — Jessica Cisneros in Texas, Robert Emmons in Illinois, and Morgan Harper in Ohio — lost their primary races against more moderate members of Congress,&#8221; the outlet continues. &#8220;The movement has also had limited influence on the proposals House Democrats have put forward to address the coronavirus, with leadership rejecting its most ambitious ideas.&#8221;
The most visible progressive leigislators &#8212; the &#8220;squad&#8221; &#8212; are notably vulnerable. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is facing a primary challenge from a more &#8220;moderate&#8221; Democrat with ties to her constituents in the Bronx, who are notoriously concerned that Ocasio-Cortez has spent the last two years raising her national profile rather than addressing local concerns. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is under heavy scrutiny for a series of potential campaign finance and personnel issues.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is facing a primary challenge from Detroit City Council president Brenda Jones, who narrowly lost to Tlaib in 2018. Jones was appointed to represent Michigan&#8217;s 13th district after former Rep. John Conyers resigned in 2017, but faced questions of whether she could serve in Congress and lead Detroit at the same time, making her run for the seat in 2018 controversial. She faced a 6-way primary that included Tlaib, and lost the seat to Tlaib by fewer than 1,000 votes.
Jones declared her intent to run against Tlaib back in late April, triggering progressive panic.
Elsewhere, progressive Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) is likely to lose to Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-MA), the more &#8220;moderate&#8221; option, and the one &#8220;progressive&#8221; win &#8212; Marie Newman, who defeated Rep. Dan Lipinski in Illinois &#8212; is being credited to mainstream Democrat groups, not Democratic socialists.
Worse still is Sanders&#8217; former operation, according to a different report <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/15/bernie-sanders-base-in-disarray-259514">from Politico</a>. Sanders staffers are now in separate camps, operating a handful of different PACs, and rarely communicating or sharing information. Organizing networks are &#8220;on the verge of falling apart.&#8221; Sanders&#8217; PAC from 2016, &#8220;Our Revolution,&#8221; has been all but winless.
There are &#8220;no networks&#8221; or master lists of progressive volunteers or donors to help upstart campaigns; the Senator&#8217;s lists have all been migrated over to the Biden campaign, leaving progressives empty handed.
Sanders has been quiet since endorsing Biden several weeks ago, though some of his supporters, including Ocasio-Cortez are now on Biden policy teams. Sanders, instead, has been laying low. Over the weekend, he told media that his supporters will back Biden but that he intends to do legwork on the issue &#8212; and there seems to be plenty to do.

‘Squad’ Doomed? Progressives Face String Of Losses, Supporters in ‘Disarray’

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Rashida Tlaib

Democrats are taking the first steps to move their in-person national convention online just in case the novel coronavirus is still a problem in August.
While Republicans say the possibility of an online or livestream convention is on the table, the Republican National Committee remains optimistic that their gathering, slated for the last week in August, can still be an in-person event, albeit with some changes made to encourage social distancing and other responsible disease prevention behaviors.
Democrats, however, are already struggling after moving their convention back four weeks and remain concerned that, if &#8220;curves&#8221; in midwestern states don&#8217;t &#8220;flatten,&#8221; they may have to find other options, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrats-take-first-step-towards-possibly-holding-a-virtual-convention">according to Fox News</a>.
&#8220;A powerful Democratic National Committee panel voted unanimously Tuesday to give the team planning the party’s national nominating convention the power to limit the scope of that quadrennial gathering due to the coronavirus pandemic,&#8221; the outlet reported Tuesday.
The vote opens the doors for convention delegates, most of whom are now declared for former Vice President Joe Biden, to cast their nomination ballots online or by mail instead of in person. It would certainly be a very different sort of event &#8212; volunteers typically clamor to be among those declaring their state&#8217;s delegates from the floor of the convention &#8212; but it would give the DNC and any nominee the ability to carry on with a presidential campaign.
&#8220;The resolution empowers the convention committee to make changes to the format, size and date of the convention in order to safely conduct the massive gathering – and to &#8216;streamline Convention proceedings and provide maximum flexibility in light of the pandemic&#8217; by making alterations to the rules governing the convention,&#8221; Fox News says.
&#8220;The resolution also would allow two of the most high-profile convention committees — the Rules Committee and the Credentials Committee — to conduct business without having to have their final reports approved by the full convention, a maneuver that could minimize some floor fight,&#8221; according to <a href="https://apnews.com/d7827648ea7e74820bf024080e9052b8">The Associated Press</a>.
It&#8217;s not immediately clear what that means for the Democratic party&#8217;s platform, which will also be hammered out at the convention. Unlike in previous years, the platform is the subject of much concern in 2020, particularly given that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was given a measure of control over the platform amendment process in return for his unqualified support for Biden. The AP suggests that the Sanders-Biden deal isn&#8217;t yet final, and much of Sanders&#8217; willingness to promote Biden hinges on his input on the party platform, particularly the minimum wage, healthcare, and climate change provisions.
At the very least, the AP says, convention delegates would be able to cast a final vote for the completed draft platform.
Biden has other things to worry about, though, in addition to the convention. Many states have postponed their primaries in light of the coronavirus pandemic and it&#8217;s not clear whether those states will be able to cast ballots before August 17, especially if lockdowns continue. That could put Biden, who has yet to get the majority of delegates necessary to secure the nomination outright, in a tricky position &#8212; one where the nomination isn&#8217;t fully guaranteed.

Democrats Move Toward A Virtual Convention, Online Party Platform

Coronavirus

Democratic National Committee

Democratic Party

A Federal judge sided with former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang on Wednesday, ruling that New York was disenfranchising key voters by canceling &#8212; and not simply postponing &#8212; its presidential primary, which was supposed to be held late last month.
U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres of Manhattan &#8220;ordered Tuesday that New York state hold its canceled Democratic primary in June, which places Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and other former 2020 candidates back on the ballot,&#8221; <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/06/federal-judge-rules-new-york-must-hold-june-primary-canceled-over-coronavirus-risks.html">according to NBC News</a>.
New York first postponed and then canceled its primary over concerns about the spread of coronavirus under the assumption that holding the vote would put both poll workers and voters at risk of contracting the deadly virus, which causes COVID-19.
By the time New York made the decision, all of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates had dropped out of the race save one, former Vice President Joe Biden, making Biden the presumptive nominee even though several states have yet to hold their votes.
Yang sued, though, because New York decided that, instead of simply calling off the contest, they&#8217;d drop all but Biden&#8217;s name from the ballot, making the vote inconsequential. Yang&#8217;s lawyers argued that, despite there being no chance Yang, Sanders, or any other 2020 Democratic presidential candidate might snag the nomination, earning delegates from Democratic primaries is in itself a prize, giving Democratic also-rans with large followings the ability to exercise a measure of control over the Democratic party platform, authored and voted on at the party&#8217;s convention.
Bernie Sanders, who is currently trying to collect as many delegates as possible &#8212; and even inked a deal with Biden to keep the delegates he earned in the first series of primaries, when the race was still competitive &#8212; agreed with Yang and Sanders supporters and even called the New York primary &#8220;fixed&#8221; &#8212; designed to put Biden comfortably ahead of Sanders by earning all of New York&#8217;s delegates without actually competing in the primary.
Judge Torres agreed.
“The Court concludes that Plaintiffs and Plaintiff-Intervenors have shown a clear and substantial likelihood of success on the merits of their claim that the Democratic Commissioners’ April 27 Resolution removing Yang, Sanders, and eight other Democratic presidential candidates from the ballot deprived them of associational rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution,” she wrote in her decision, issued early Wednesday.
She also granted the platinff&#8217;s request for a preliminary injunction, which “restores all ten presidential candidates named in the April 27 Resolution, and their respective slates of delegate candidates, to the New York Democratic presidential primary ballot,&#8221; and demands that New York hold an election on the final possible date, June 23,2020.
Other states are currently wrestling with the possibility of canceling their own primaries, though its not clear how much impact holding a vote has on the spread of coronavirus. Wisconsin, which held its primary in the height of the pandemic, does not appear to have seen an anticipated spike in coronavirus cases related to the election.

Federal Judge Rules New York Must Hold Canceled Democratic Primary

Andrew Yang

New York

Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) have reached a deal that will let Sanders keep the Democratic delegates that he earned in the state primaries, allowing him to have some sway over the Democratic party platform.
The pair announced the plan in a joint letter issued Thursday, avoiding <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/30/biden-sanders-convention-delegates-226208">what Politico says</a> could have been a very messy fight between the two Democratic legislators.
&#8220;Candidates who exit the race before statewide delegates are selected are supposed to see the delegates they won reallocated to the remaining active candidates in the race. The rule applies to all dropped-out candidates — not just Sanders,&#8221; the outlet said.
Sanders was set to lose around a third of his delegates. Instead, the deal with Biden will allow the additional slots to be filled with Sanders supporters and, in return, &#8220;statewide and at-large delegates, which make up about a third of the total delegate count, will be allocated to Biden in order to comply with party rules,&#8221; <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/495452-biden-and-sanders-reach-deal-on-delegates-to-national-convention">per The Hill</a>.
Since the statewide and at-large delegates haven&#8217;t been named, the two camps pledged to fill the slots with individuals who support both Sanders and Biden, in order to keep things fair.
It&#8217;s not a perfect agreement, but it does ensure that Sanders will not use his cache of delegates to upend Biden&#8217;s nomination &#8212; something that could be a possibility if more states follow New York&#8217;s lead and cancel their primaries, fearful that the lines and systems associated with voting could put voters at risk of catching the dreaded coronavirus.
It&#8217;s also a sign that the Biden campaign is aggressively courting Sanders supporters, in stark contrast to Clinton&#8217;s campaign, which left Sanders largely out in the cold after securing the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, leading to years of resentment.
“Our campaigns are grateful for the unity and spirit of collaboration within the Democratic Party as we look to defeat Donald Trump and establish a government by and for the American people,” a memo from the pair read. “We look forward to working with the state parties to implement this approach, as we elect delegates who reflect and represent the diversity that is the unique strength of our great nation.”
The state of New York is likely glad the pair inked a deal, too. Sanders supporters had threatened to sue the state over concerns that canceling a primary &#8212; rather than moving it to a mail-only contest or seeking out some other option &#8212; deprived them of their voice in the candidate selection process. Sanders himself called the situation &#8220;a blow to democracy,&#8221; <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/blow-american-democracy-sanders-campaign-blasts-cancellation-ny-primary-n1193631">per NBC News</a>.
Thursday&#8217;s agreement reassures Sanders supporters that arrangements will be made to allocate some of New York&#8217;s delegates to Sanders team if New York is unable or chooses not to reschedule its Democratic primary.

Sanders Biden

Biden, Sanders Reach Deal Allowing Sanders To Keep Convention Delegates

One in four supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has yet to get on board with former Vice President Joe Biden&#8217;s presidential campaign, and Biden&#8217;s troubles with an new sexual assault allegation seem to be contributing to Sanders&#8217; supporters staying away, according to a poll released Wednesday.
Some of Sanders&#8217; former supporters are even considering casting a ballot for President Donald Trump.
&#8220;Nearly 1 in 4 Sanders supporters (22%) said they would vote for a third party candidate, vote for President Donald Trump, not vote in November or were undecided about who to vote for,&#8221; <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/04/29/bernie-sanders-supporters-not-yet-board-voting-joe-biden/3047485001/">USA Today reports</a>, based on a USA Today. Suffolk poll. &#8220;When broken down, 2% said they would vote for Trump, 8% said they would vote for a third party candidate, 2% said they would skip voting and 8% are still undecided.&#8221;
That does mean, of course, that more than 75% of Sanders supporters will cast their ballots for Biden, but as in 2016, lingering resentment over how the nomination process was handled threatens to sideline some of the Democrats&#8217; support &#8212; and right now, given how close the margins are in battleground states, Joe Biden can use all the support he can get.
Sanders had harsh words for Democratic socialists sitting out the November election, telling them in a video message that he believes they&#8217;re being &#8220;irresponsible.&#8221;
“I believe that it’s irresponsible for anybody to say, ‘Well, I disagree with Joe Biden – I disagree with Joe Biden! – and therefore I’m not going to be involved,’” Sanders said, calling attention to the larger issue, defeating the incumbent president.
Biden has also aggressively courted Sanders voters, putting Sanders himself on some of the presidential campaign&#8217;s policy committees and enlisting Sanders&#8217; aides in decisions about how his campaign should handle contentious issues like worker&#8217;s rights and climate change.
In the last week, though, Biden&#8217;s campaign has hit a snag with progressives, who believe Biden is no longer the Democrats&#8217; best bet to beat Trump because of a sexual assault allegation, leveled by a former Biden aide named Tara Reade, that surfaced earlier in April and circulated aggressively among progressives before it went public.
Business Insider reports that &#8220;as new evidence has emerged corroborating [Tara] Reade&#8217;s allegations, several prominent Sanders&#8217; supporters and former aides have broken with Sanders and called on Biden to drop out of the 2020 race. &#8221;
Many feel that a presidential candidate who has faced questions about his handsiness with women can&#8217;t hold the moral high ground against Trump, who has also been accused of sexual harassment, and who branded himself a playboy for much of the 1980s and 1990s.
&#8220;We lose ALL moral authority if we embrace &#8216;the lesser of two accused rapists,'&#8221; tweeted Democratic activist Peter Daou.

One In Four Sanders Supporters Is Still Not On Board With Biden

Tara Reade

A former top official for Sen. Bernie Sanders&#8217; presidential campaign is calling on former Vice President Joe Biden to step aside as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee over an allegation of sexual assault.
The Sanders campaign’s former national organizing director Claire Sandberg said Wednesday that Democrats should act now on the accusations of Tara Reade, a former Senate staffer who has accused Biden of sexual assault. Recent evidence shows that Reade’s accusation is not recent, and that she had told friends and family about the incident she had with Biden soon after it happened.
&#8220;Now is the time to deal with the ramifications of Tara Reade&#8217;s accusations, not this fall,&#8221; Sandberg <a href="https://twitter.com/clairesandberg/status/1255187277212536832">tweeted</a>. &#8220;There is simply no moral justification for Biden to continue as the presumptive nominee. Out of respect for survivors and for the good of the country, he should withdraw from the race.&#8221;
&#8220;This does not mean that Bernie should become the nominee by default,&#8221; Sandberg continued. &#8220;The primary should resume somehow, and other candidates who dropped out should be able to get back in the race as well. Obviously, this means primaries should not be cancelled.&#8221;
New York became the first state to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-york-becomes-first-state-to-cancel-presidential-primary-over-coronavirus">cancel</a> its presidential primary over the coronavirus on Monday. The New York State Board of Elections voted to scrap the contest, though keeping all other elections in place, over concerns about the coronavirus and because Biden was the only candidate left in the race.
Sandberg said that the Democratic Party’s best course morally and for beating President Trump in November is for Biden to step aside, cutting off several avenues for attacks on the Democratic nominee that the Trump campaign could capitalize on.
&#8220;Barreling ahead and acting like Biden&#8217;s conduct is excusable, or pretending that Trump won&#8217;t make a lot of hay out of the Democratic party&#8217;s hypocrisy, does not seem like a good plan to me,&#8221; Sandberg said.
&#8220;The stakes are too high to just pray that ‘yes these accusations are troubling but vote for Biden anyway to stop Trump’ will be a winning message. It&#8217;s possible that it will be enough, given the level of death and economic destruction we&#8217;re facing, but do we want to risk it?&#8221; she added.
A number of high-profile Democrats have jumped to defend Biden in recent days as Reade’s accusation has made more and more headlines in the press. Sens. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), both potential vice presidential picks for Biden, have <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/29/tara-reade-biden-democrats-217392">praised</a> the presumptive nominee and downplayed the allegation against him.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who lost the presidential election to Trump in 2016, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hillary-endorses-biden-accuser-tara-reade-lashes-out-shes-enabling-a-sexual-predator">endorsed</a> Biden on Tuesday in a video town hall. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nancy-pelosi-endorses-joe-biden-after-new-evidence-emerges-in-sexual-assault-allegation">endorsed</a> the Democratic candidate the day before. Both endorsements came several days after an August 11, 1993, video surfaced showing Larry King accepting a call from a woman believed to be Reade’s mother asking about how her daughter should respond to problems with a &#8220;prominent senator.&#8221;

Ex-Sanders Campaign Official Demands Biden ‘Withdraw From The Race’ Over Tara Reade Accusation

Sexual Assault

After New York canceled its state presidential primary in response to the coronavirus, actor John Cusack has called upon Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to reverse his endorsement of former Vice President Joe Biden and restart his campaign.
In a tweet on Monday, Cusack argued that the New York State Board of Elections&#8217; decision to cancel the June 23 primary will further give President Donald Trump ammunition to cancel the November election. Though Bernie Sanders has suspended his campaign and endorsed Biden, he did ask to remain on the ballot, as <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/john-cusack-bernie-sanders-un-endorse-joe-biden-reopen-campaign">reported</a> by Fox News.
&#8220;NY state cancelled the presidential primaries &#8211; thus declaring electoral college &#8216;inconvenient&#8217; to their political ambitions &#8211; a disastrous mistake by DNC for allowing it to happen &#8211; if the Dems intend to behave like trump Sanders should unsuspend his campaign immediately,&#8221; tweeted the actor.
Cusack then tweeted at Women&#8217;s March co-chair Linda Sarsour as he called on Bernie to reopen his campaign.
&#8220;Bernie should un endorse &amp; reopen his campaign <a class="PrettyLink profile customisable h-card" href="https://twitter.com/lsarsour" data-mentioned-user-id="27187343" data-scribe="element:mention">@lsarsour</a>: NY Board of Elections just set a precedent for Trump by actually cancelling election,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Bernie deserved to stay on ballot to amass delegates, DNC was cool, Biden was fine w/ it. They acted unilaterally &amp; unstrategically.&#8221;

“Today’s decision by the State of New York Board of Elections is an outrage, a blow to American democracy, and must be overturned by the DNC,” said Sanders’ senior adviser, Jeff Weaver, in a statement. “Just last week Vice President Biden warned the American people that President Trump could use the current crisis as an excuse to postpone the November election. Well, he now has a precedent thanks to New York state.”
“No one asked New York to cancel the election. The DNC didn’t request it. The Biden campaign didn’t request it. And our campaign communicated that we wanted to remain on the ballot. Given that the primary is months away, the proper response must be to make the election safe &#8211; such as going to all vote by mail &#8211; rather than eliminating people’s right to vote completely,&#8221; the statement added.
Other Sanders supporters have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-york-becomes-first-state-to-cancel-presidential-primary-over-coronavirus">expressed similar outrage</a> over the decision. Larry Cohen, who chairs the pro-Sanders group Our Revolution, told board members before the vote that it could severely harm volunteer efforts for Joe Biden throughout the country.
“Suppressing the Sanders vote in New York will again lead to attacks on the Party across the nation and harm the volunteer effort that our group and others are building for Joe Biden,” said Cohen.
Last month, Sanders suspended his campaign and endorsed Joe Biden while asserting that his candidacy won the &#8220;ideological struggle.&#8221;
“Together we have transformed the American consciousness as to what kind of nation we can become,” Sanders said. “Our movement has won the ideological struggle.”

Senator Bernie Sanders Joins The Chicago Teachers Union Strike

John Cusack Calls On Bernie Sanders To Reverse Joe Biden Endorsement, Restart Campaign

John Cusack

Members of Sen. Bernie Sanders&#8217; (I-VT) now-suspended 2020 presidential campaign are seeing red over allegations that former Vice President Joe Biden sexually assaulted a former staffer in the mid-1990s, when he was a powerful Democratic Senator, and they believe this may be the opportunity they&#8217;ve been waiting for to swap out the presumptive Democratic nominee.
The media has been notoriously silent on Tara Reade&#8217;s allegations, which stem from her time as an aide in Biden&#8217;s Senate offices during the Clinton administration. Reade made the claims last week, while a guest on a progressive podcast, and has since filed a report with Washington, D.C., police, and produced friends and acquaintanecs who say Reade gave them contemporanous accounts of the attack.
On Saturday, the Intercept discovered a clip of a woman, believed to be Reade&#8217;s late mother, calling into the &#8220;Larry King Live&#8221; show around the same time as the alleged attack, asking the news program&#8217;s panel whether her daughter, a victim of &#8220;sexual harassment&#8221; from a high-powered D.C. lawmaker, should bring the incident to the attention of authorities.
Biden allies have scrambled to circle the wagons, in some cases accusing Reade of being a &#8220;Russian plant,&#8221; tossed into the mix to throw the 2020 presidential election to incumbent President Donald Trump, using a 2018 Medium post, loosely connected to Reade, to prove her allegiance to Vladimir Putin.
&#8220;Read this love fest for Putin by Alexandra Tara Reade,&#8221; one Democrat tweeted, referring to the post. &#8220;Is this the same person who just made an accusation against <a class="PrettyLink profile customisable h-card" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/JoeBiden" data-mentioned-user-id="939091" data-scribe="element:mention">@JoeBiden</a>?&#8221;
Sanders&#8217; former advisors, though, have taken a different tack, accusing mainstream Democrats of deliberately silencing the claims to protect Biden&#8217;s candidacy.
&#8220;The video of Tara Reade&#8217;s late mother calling into Larry King to blow the whistle about about Tara&#8217;s sexual assault is being met with relative silence from a cadre of progressives right now and I want you all to know that I see you. We all do,&#8221; former Sanders campaign adviser Winnie Wong tweeted Sunday.
“Progressives didn&#8217;t make this happen,” Briahna Joy Gray, Sanders former press secretary added. “Corporate Democrats chose Biden.”
Gray has been an outspoken Biden opponent, parting ways with her former boss after he dropped out of the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination and endorsed Biden and, at one point, even suggesting that Biden&#8217;s nomination had been orchestrated and that Sanders had no choice but to comply with Democrats&#8217; plans.
Biden has denied Reade&#8217;s claims through his campaign spokesperson but has not spoken directly on the issue. Typically, Biden&#8217;s surrogates &#8212; including possible running mates &#8212; would be asked about Reade&#8217;s claims, but of the three possible candidates for Biden&#8217;s Vice President were scheduled on cable news talk shows Sunday, none were eager to discuss the alleged incident.
Sanders has addressed the issue only in vague terms, telling media, that Reade&#8217;s claims are &#8220;relevant,&#8221; but going nor further: &#8220;I think it&#8217;s relevant to talk about anything. And I think any woman who feels that she was assaulted has every right in the world to stand up and make her claims,&#8221;

Bernie Sanders’ Campaign Aides Trash Dems Over Silence On Biden Sex Assault Allegations

Typically, a presidential candidate who drops out of the primary loses about a third of their earned delegates as the party heads to its national convention.
Former Vice President Joe Biden, however, appears to be challenging the Democratic National Convention rules by suggesting he will allow Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to keep some of the delegates he would have lost in an effort to unite the party to take on President Donald Trump in November.
The Associated Press <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/04/17/joe-biden-looks-to-placate-bernie-sanders-by-letting-him-keep-delegates/">reported</a> that Biden’s campaign is seeking “to avoid the bitter feelings that marred the 2016 Democratic convention,” by allowing Sanders to keep some of the delegates he would have lost.
“Quiet talks between the two campaigns center on allowing Sanders to keep some of his delegates, essentially a goodwill gesture from <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/04/14/barack-obama-endorses-joe-bidens-campaign-in-video-message/">a presumptive nominee</a> seeking to court Sanders’ progressive supporters and unite the party. It is not yet settled how many,” the news agency reported.
A Biden campaign staffer who was not authorized to publicly discuss the talks between the two campaigns told the AP that the Biden campaign thought it was the right thing to do.
“We feel strongly that it is in the best interest of the party to ensure that the Sanders campaign receives statewide delegates to reflect the work that they have done to contribute to the movement that will beat Donald Trump this fall,” said the Biden official. “We are in discussion with them now on how to best accomplish that.”
Sanders’ campaign spokesman Mike Casca refused to comment further on the situation, according to the AP.
More from the AP:
<blockquote>In some ways, the delegate count is a moot point. While he has yet to formally win the 1,991 delegates needed to claim the Democratic nomination on the first ballot at the party convention, Biden is the Democrat’s presumptive nominee. All of his rivals — <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/04/13/bernie-sanders-endorses-joe-biden-for-president-during-live-streamed-event/">including Sanders</a> — have endorsed him <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/04/15/sen-elizabeth-warren-endorses-joe-biden-for-president/">after ending their own campaigns</a>.
But with the nomination essentially decided, who has how many delegates takes on a new meaning. In 2016, rowdy Sanders supporters booed some speakers and any mention of nominee Hillary Clinton at the party’s Philadelphia convention. The disruptions were so embarrassing to the party that Sanders pleaded with his supporters not to stage protests on the floor.
By claiming the delegates that ought to belong to him under party rules, Biden could cut down on the number of Sanders’ backers — some of whom have been slow to embrace the former vice president — who could stage a replay of that divide. Instead, <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/04/13/biden-working-with-sanders-campaign-to-unify-democrats/">he’s decided to try to attract Sanders’ supporters</a> rather than silence them.</blockquote>
Biden became the de facto Democratic presidential nominee after Sanders, the last remaining opponent, dropped out several weeks ago. Sanders had an early lead in delegates until Biden swept South Carolina, bringing momentum to his then-struggling campaign and allowing him to win more state primaries – even some where he didn’t campaign. Now that he is the nominee, however, he will have to reconcile Sanders supporters who aren’t eager to support Biden, who is seen as less progressive as the Vermont senator.

Biden Attempts To Appease Sanders Supporters By Letting Candidate Keep Delegates At Democratic National Convention

Young people voting overwhelmingly for Democrats is a foregone conclusion, but Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden appears to be struggling to capture the youth vote.
Biden served as vice president for President Barack Obama, whose commandment of the youth vote was pivotal to his wins in 2008 and 2012. Hillary Clinton, too, won the youth vote in 2016, allowing her to win the popular vote while still losing the Electoral College.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has had a lock on the youth vote, since public schools gloss over or ignore the horrors of socialism and communism, allowing the Vermont senator’s message of utopia to sound appealing. Now that Biden is the de facto Democratic nominee, he will have to work hard to get young voters to support him, as the Washington Examiner (my former employer) <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/joe-biden-has-a-big-problem-with-the-youth-vote?utm_source=deployer&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&amp;utm_term=General+News+Media&amp;utm_content=20200415141340">reported</a>.
“During the Democratic primary, young voters across the country flocked to Sen. Bernie Sanders, even in states that overwhelmingly voted for Biden. In Alabama and South Carolina, where Biden won 63% and 49% of the vote, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/election/2020/entrance-and-exit-polls">exit polls</a> showed he still lost voters under the age of 30 by a double-digit margin,” the outlet reported.
Clinton, the Examiner reported, was able to woo young voters by the time she clinched the nomination. Just before the 2016 general election, Clinton had a 21-point lead over Donald Trump among voters aged 18-35 and she won those voters in the general by 19 points. The general is still far away, but it looks like Biden hasn’t captured youth enthusiasm.
More from the Examiner:
<blockquote>His first problem is they didn’t show up en masse in 2020, not even for Sanders. A study by <a href="https://twitter.com/dellavolpe/status/1235320286314102784?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosfutureofwork&amp;stream=future">The Harvard Institute of Politics</a> found that youth turnout was either down or flat in eight of the first 12 primary contests, including in crucial swing states such as New Hampshire and North Carolina. This happened even though Sanders’s campaign designed its message and platform to cater to young progressives across the country.
Democratic insiders have been sounding the alarm about Biden’s trouble with young voters since March, telling<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/democrats-sound-alarm-about-joe-biden-s-young-voter-problem-n1163296"> NBC News</a> that it reminded them of Hillary Clinton. That problem hasn’t gone away, even as he’s become the presumptive nominee. Recent polls conducted by <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-poll-april-4-7-2020">Fox News</a>, <a href="https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/documents/monmouthpoll_us_040920.pdf/">Monmouth</a>, <a href="https://cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2020/images/04/09/rel4c.-.2020.pdf">CNN</a>, <a href="https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=3658">Quinnipiac</a>, <a href="https://www.grinnell.edu/sites/default/files/docs/2020-03/GCNP%20April%202020%20Toplines%20and%20Methodology.pdf">Selzer</a>, and <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/context/washington-post-abc-news-poll-march-22-25-2020/974c3312-5a40-4764-afb1-4bb6b86f1cf4/?itid=lk_inline_manual_2&amp;itid=lk_inline_manual_2">ABC/Washington Post</a> found that Biden leads President Trump with voters under 35 by an average of just 12 points, 49% to 37%.</blockquote>
Sanders supporters also aren’t giving an indication they’d be willing to vote for Biden now that he’s basically the nominee (he won’t be official until the Democratic National Convention).
“Further complicating the situation for Biden is that a large portion of Sanders’s voters still show no signs of warming up to Biden. A <a href="https://morningconsult.com/2020/04/10/sanders-supporters-dont-love-joe-biden-how-much-will-that-matter/">Morning Consult</a> poll taken on April 7 found that a plurality of Sanders supporters under the age of 35 held an unfavorable view of Biden. A recent <a href="https://www.langerresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/1212a32020Election.pdf">ABC/Washington Post</a> poll found that 15% of Sanders supporters plan on voting for Trump in the general election. Many more are saying that they are undecided or might not end up voting at all. That poll was conducted before Trump <a href="https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1248379512854704137">announced</a> he was waiving student loans for at least six months but possibly through the end of the year, a significant issue for young voters. There are even rumors that Trump may go forward with some form of student loan forgiveness,” the Examiner reported.
Biden is already in a difficult position due to the coronavirus lockdown. Trump is holding daily press briefings about the virus, while Biden has been forced out of the spotlight and losing valuable campaign time.

Bad News For Joe Biden: Young Voters Just Aren’t In To Him

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has been fully converted by the Joe Biden for President campaign and, in an interview with The Associated Press, published Wednesday, lectured his hold-out fans &#8212; including his own former press secretary &#8212; for failing to get on board with the &#8220;moderate,&#8221; presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee.
&#8220;Bernie Sanders said Tuesday that it would be &#8216;irresponsible&#8217; for his loyalists not to support Joe Biden, warning that progressives who &#8216;sit on their hands&#8217; in the months ahead would simply enable President Donald Trump’s reelection,&#8221; The Associated Press reported.
Sanders endorsed Biden on Monday in a surprise appearance on Biden&#8217;s daily campaign livestream. During their discussion, Biden announced that Sanders and some of his core staff have been put in charge of consulting on progressive policy, and will form up six &#8220;working groups&#8221; to address Sanders&#8217; top priorities, including the minimum wage and climate change.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that former President Barack Obama had a large hand in moving Sanders into Biden&#8217;s corner, holding at least four &#8220;lengthy discussions&#8221; with the Vermont socialist, pressuring him to drop out of the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination and endorse Obama&#8217;s former Veep.
The conversations must have had a marked effect on Sanders, who just weeks ago was insisting that he had a &#8220;narrow path&#8221; to the nomination and that his supporters were such a force that they&#8217;d overturn Biden&#8217;s presumptive nomination even with a limited number of delegates left in play.
Now, he&#8217;s speaking directly from the gospel of Joe Biden.
“Do we be as active as we can in electing Joe Biden and doing everything we can to move Joe and his campaign in a more progressive direction? Or do we choose to sit it out and allow the most dangerous president in modern American history to get reelected?” Sanders lectured his supporters, many of whom are not yet on board with the Biden for President campaign.
“I believe that it’s irresponsible for anybody to say, ‘Well, I disagree with Joe Biden &#8212; I disagree with Joe Biden! &#8212; and therefore I’m not going to be involved,'&#8221; Sanders continued.
“If people want to vote for me, we’d appreciate it,&#8221; Sanders said in reference to the upcoming primary contests, given that a high delegate count does give Sanders greater influence over the Democratic party platform. But, he cautioned supporters, he has no intention of battling for the nod: “I think you’re going to see significant movement on the part of the Biden campaign into a more progressive direction on a whole lot of issues.”
He had particularly sharp words for his former press secretary, Briahna Joy Gray, who tweeted Tuesday that she would not join her former boss in supporting Biden.
&#8220;With the utmost respect for Bernie Sanders, who is an incredible human being &amp; a genuine inspiration, I don&#8217;t endorse Joe Biden,&#8221; Gray said. &#8220;I supported Bernie Sanders because he backed ideas like <a class="PrettyLink hashtag customisable" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MedicareForAll?src=hash" rel="tag" data-query-source="hashtag_click" data-scribe="element:hashtag">#MedicareForAll</a>, cancelling ALL student debt, &amp; a wealth tax. Biden supports none of those.&#8221;
Sanders insisted to the AP that Gray is no longer part of his team.
“She is my former press secretary — not on the payroll,&#8221; he said.

Bernie Sanders Lectures Supporters: It’s ‘Irresponsible’ Not To Back Joe Biden

The following is satirical.
President Barack Obama has endorsed Joe Biden for President. The endorsement comes after Bernie Sanders dropped out, Tulsi Gabbard became mathematically impossible and a potted plant with a sign hung on it saying “Vote for me,” was run over by an out-of-control forklift.
In a speech made in an irritating self-satisfied voice that was almost impossible to tolerate, Obama said, “I am pleased and proud to have no choice but to endorse the last person left in the race.
&#8220;Picking Joe Biden as my vice president was the best decision I ever made which, all right, isn’t saying much since I’m the guy who decided to give Iran 150 billion dollars and a nuclear bomb,&#8221; he continued.
&#8220;All the same, picking Joe was better than my decision to have Rocky Road ice cream served for desert on Thursdays although, come to think of it, that was pretty tasty, so maybe picking Joe was my second best decision,&#8221; he added.
Obama may have gone on to praise Biden’s character but after a while that voice of his just sounded so much like an ailing rhinoceros apologizing to Arabian tyrants for our traditions and history that most Americans zoned out and aren’t entirely sure what-all the guy said.
When it again became possible to listen to that ceaselessly depressing drone, Obama told the nation, “With Joe Biden we will turn away from a divisive politics of self-dealing and misinformation, toward a divisive politics of incompetence and abject stupidity. And that’s why I feel honored to be forced to finally break down and confess that this is what we’re stuck with.”
Bernie Sanders also endorsed Biden, saying, “Here, at last, is a man so politically inept, I should be able to squeeze concessions out of him until he sounds like Stalin, only senile.”
Meanwhile, polls continue to show that Biden would win an election against Trump if it were held today and today was a flashback from a particularly bad acid trip we took in 1967.
