CNN: Sanders: Democrats Must Be Bold Now



Jan 7, 2021

Now that Democrats have power, we have to be bold in a way we have not seen since FDR in the 1930s.

The first order of business: A new COVID relief bill with $2,000 payments for every working class adult.

... they know what needs to be done. They know what's possible. They know how to count votes. Facts of the matter are these: it's the Biden Administration; it's Biden's agenda; we already know (and voted on) the party's platform and agenda; it's all well known, no secrets were kept, nothing was held-back. This will not be the Bernie-lite administration.

Joe has got this. Trust him and let him do the work that needs to be done. He knows what he's doing. This ain't his first time at the rodeo.


Joe/Kamala or Biden/Harris 2020!!
They're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Biden Bandwagon & abandon the revolution!!

It is sort of like a student who dropped out in pre-med giving surgical tips to a board certified neurosurgeon on how to remove a cerebral aneurysm.

Yeah, the trick is standing up for the people and fighting for what's right. One trick indeed.

Of course that is a huge issue but its clearly not the biggest issue right now.

Furthermore, Democrats are going to push for the $2000 stimulus but that's not the focus at the moment.

HE KNOWS THIS. FDR had large majorities in congress for years, the Depression had been going on for years, and the Republican Party wasn't nuts.

They convey a message that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris don't know what they are doing or have no clue about how to proceed.

Biden hasn't even been inaugurated yet FFS and the focus right now is to keep the inauguration safe and prevent a madman Trump from launching nukes in a psychotic frenzy.
