In an interview with the Guardian from his home base in Burlington, Vermont, Sanders urged the Democratic president to inject more urgency into his bid for re-election. He said that unless the president was more direct in recognising the many crises faced by working-class families his Republican rival would win.

“We’ve got to see the White House move more aggressively on healthcare, on housing, on tax reform, on the high cost of prescription drugs,” Sanders said. “If we can get the president to move in that direction, he will win; if not, he’s going to lose.”

The US senator from Vermont added that he was in contact with the White House pressing that point. “We hope to make clear to the president and his team that they are not going to win this election unless they come up with a progressive agenda that speaks to the needs of the working class of this country.”

Sanders’ warning comes at a critical time in American politics. On Monday, Republicans in Iowa will gather for caucuses that mark the official start of the 2024 presidential election.

Biden faces no serious challenger in the Democratic primaries. But concern is mounting over how he would fare against Trump given a likely rematch between them in November.

Talk about shifting goalposts…. I’m not talking about Bernie bros voting for Trump, you are. I never was, yet YOU comment to me about to change the subject to what YOU wanted it to be.

I was talking about everyone staying home and not voting like the “gEnOciDe jOe” people now. are now. Like the Bernie bros- they got butthurt over something smaller than the big picture and fucked it all up for everyone.

Then, in the aftermath, they claimed innocence and pointed the finger at other factors that were irrelevant. Which is VERY similar to what you are doing.

I’m done arguing about this. It’s pointless here. Lemmy is as bad as Reddit when it comes to hive mind mentality.

[-] bigMouthCommie@kolektiva.social -2 points 10 months ago

[-] GilgameshCatBeard@lemmy.ca -1 points 10 months ago

this is the second time i've seen this accusation/insinuation. do i carry an aura of fear or something?

[-] Moira_Mayhem@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 10 months ago

Oh man, how did you slip past security?

[-] GilgameshCatBeard@lemmy.ca -3 points 10 months ago

Exactly my point. Security. Thats what Lemmy is. Security for The ignorant.

It's sad because technically the fediverse is a huge improvement over reddit and other social media platforms, but many of the users are so toxic that it just bleeds users with every wave of new people who try it. There's a lot of unreasonable and angry people on here out to start fights and hurl insults at anyone who isn't a Hamas apologist that is left of Lenin.
