Sanders warns Biden: address working-class fears or risk losing to demogogue (www.theguardian.com)

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.

if Trump wins the corps also win and the people lose

if Biden wins the corps also win and the people lose

did either of these two put up a fight for worker's rights and higher wages?

did either stand up for women's rights or bodily autonomy?

did either stand up and defend journalist being silenced?

did either do anything to quell the militarized police force?

did either help Captain Planet at all with restoring Mother Earth?

did either candidate do anything to protest against the size of the military budget?

what did either candidate do that directly makes the citizens better off?

where is the difference?

It's the same with the AFD in Germany. People were so busy insulting those who vote AFD and telling them how stupid they are that now even more people vote AFD. I wonder how anyone thought this was going to make them vote for a different party?

Centerists literally screaming at people they have to vote Democrat because a vote for a third party will destroy democracy.

These are the same people who voted for Biden in the primaries intentionally to block progressive and leftist candidates from getting elected and now they want to act like we're responsible for propping up their garbage candidate.

He's right. Biden is coasting into this election. Reminds me of Hillary in 2016.

So odd how dems always fumble it away.

Eh, Obama went hard on election stuff and so did Bill. This hubris seems recent and tied to a belief that Trump isn't a serious candidate.
