With the 2024 presidential race beginning to unfold, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont said he believes that President Joe Biden will again earn the Democratic nomination — and the president likely win reelection if he runs on a strong progressive campaign.

“I think at this moment … we have got to bring the progressive community together to say, you know what, we’re going to fight for a progressive agenda but we cannot have four more years of Donald Trump in the White House,” Sanders said Sunday on “Face the Nation.”

Sanders endorsed Mr. Biden in April. Sanders referenced several of those issues in underscoring what he believes is the importance of building “a strong progressive agenda” to win the presidency in 2024.

    I keep seeing this but I’m not sure what you all want …

    Really simple. Pay close attention.

    Some sort of universal healthcare Stop attacking telework as much as he currently is Stop using draconian border policies that are just as bad as Trump’s if not worse Stop attacking primary challengers like he did with Marinanne Williamson. You don’t have to like her, but the Biden Administration doing this is childish as hell. Stop running. He’s 80 years old. He’s part of the problem with politicians being too old to hold office. Biden should’ve just passed the baton instead of being stubborn like Diane Fienstein and Mitch McConnell. He also could’ve played hardball with Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin and he didn’t and the infrastructure bill was greatly watered down for it. Biden is also more anti-weed than he should be. Sure, there was that thing where he lowered the weed scheduling, but he’s made it clear before where he stands on weed and it’s dumb.

    Now as for some of your points.

    “attempted to forgive $10k in student loan (blocked by republican scotus, still attempting a workaround on interest at least)” He literally can forgive it all with his presidential powers. This is a classic carrot and stick routine and you fell for it.

    “Dude is ticking a ton of boxes. Sure we’re not living in a socialist utopia with universal basic income, etc but it’s been 3 years”

    He also ticks a lot of boxes that makes him a glorified 80s republican. All of the stuff I mentioned requires no act of congress and he has more than enough political capital to do. And even if he did all of this, he still wouldn’t be all that progressive. I really wish you neoliberal would stop with this nonsense.

      Spot on.

      I wasn’t a fan of how Biden quashed the railroad strike, and his response to the Maui wildfire was lackluster.

      I want someone who fights like hell for my interests, not a goddamn third way triangulator.

      No more hugs.
