Ep. 4.9.20: Bernie’s Presidential Bid Ends; His Movement Lives On

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS

This Week’s Discussion:

 

We talk about the impact Bernie Sanders has had on the Democratic party and the need to fight to keep the movement going. Sanders showed it is possible to inspire people and a political movement by taking on the establishment and actually trying to make a positive difference in people's lives. Now we will see if it can inspire enough people to make real change. Democrats need to all rally behind presumptive nominee Joe Biden to defeat Trump and save this country. Then progressives need to stay behind Biden to push him to further an agenda that fulfills this country's ideals.  

 

Meanwhile, Republicans continue to show that we are fighting for this country's life. Their voter suppression hits a new level as they demonstrate a willingness to kill people during a pandemic for having the nerve to vote. We can never forget that this criminal organization will do whatever is necessary, and destroy whatever it must, in order to preserve its power. That includes stealing the 2020 elections, an effort that is well underway. 

The US is now #1 in several other dubious categories; number of COVID-19 cases and deaths, inadequacy of our response, and failure of our leadership. Trump continues to be more pathetic than we could have believed in our worst nightmares.

We introduce a continuing series on what the coronavirus pandemic and our pathetic response to it teach us about the major issues confronting us in 2020 and beyond.
