Disappointed Warren didn’t join her team members to stand with Bernie.
Former Alumni of Warren for President endorsing Sanders
https://twitter.com/aliciastwocents/status/1237491404042932224Click on link in tweet to read full statement.
We, the undersigned former employees and fellows of Warren for President, are ready to get back in the fight for a just and progressive future. We know that we need a bold, ambitious policy agenda for working families, marginalized communities, and our planet. We know that we won’t beat Donald Trump by simply talking about a return to business as usual. We hold these values close to our hearts because we’ve spent months talking about them with community members and volunteers in the field on behalf of Elizabeth Warren.
That’s why the best option for Warren Democrats right now is to support Bernie Sanders for President, in addition to fighting for Democratic victories across the board in Senate, House, and local races.

I Love This Article - if the Nation Was My Patient, Sanders Would Be My Prescription
https://twitter.com/docs_4_bernie/status/1234626786123751426Wealthy countries that prioritize relative financial equality have less depression, lower infant mortality, and fewer people suffering from drug addiction. They have greater social cohesion, more civic trust, and their children score higher on standardized academic tests. Great extremes in wealth and income, like we now have in our country, leads to a generalized societal dysfunction. We are not all in the same boat and we are painfully aware of that. The present-day extremes of income and wealth inequality in the United States even exceed those seen during the days of the robber barons.
I support Bernie Sanders because he has the most comprehensive plan to reverse the great wealth and income gap. Only by doing so will the health of our nation improve.

Charles Booker, Youngest State Legislator in KY Endorses Sanders

“We have several decades ahead to fix all the problems we’ve created. I’m sure even Bernie Sanders would acknowledge it’s not going to be fixed in one or two terms,” he continued. “It’s going to take the rest of our lives. The critical partner in that is going to be this coalition under 45.”
Joe Sanberg, LA Entrepeneur and Founder of Aspiration Endorses Sanders
https://twitter.com/danielmarans/status/1233782401786138624 Sanberg, a founder of Aspiration, the socially conscious online banking company, described Sanders’ diverse, young and working-class coalition of supporters as a key reason for getting behind the Vermont senator’s candidacy.
“I think about the kind of progressive governance that I want to see happen over the rest of our lives ― it’s going to require the multiracial, working-class coalition under 45 that have been inspired by his campaign,” said Sanberg, 40, a founder of multiple progressive advocacy groups, who emphasized that he was making the endorsement in a personal capacity. “The endorsement for me is both about my belief that Bernie can beat Trump and be a great president, as well as standing by the coalition he’s awakened.
