When it comes to strategy, Bernie’s no Solid Snake. Too bad he didn’t think strategically and kneecap biden with, I don’t know, his record on literally anything.
The video was kind of interesting though. The opening bit where he makes demands. It would be cool if he had any sort of power, but here it seems toothless and a little bit useless I guess.
Also, do you buy any of his optimism for a Biden admin? Is Bernie just thinking strategically for himself, like shifting the goalposts (gag) of his crowning achievement and pinning it on this united front victory over trump? Or, does he think he can actually steer Biden’s administration in a meaningful way? Isn’t fucking everyone going to be trying to steer sleepy Joe’s administration though? :/
At least he looks healthy here. It is a good look for our grandpa. He probably hasn’t interacted much with his grandkids since the pandemic began. Hope he gets a chance to pat some heads. However, it sounds like he might be gearing up to get back to work after his vacation.
Not watched this video yet.
I had a quick read of Sleepy Joe’s website and the policies look mostly the same as they were early in the campaign before they announced that Crazy Bernie’s people would be in the Biden bureaucracy. No “concessions” to Crazy Bernie seem to be made
There is also a second list of “recommended” policies jointly made by Crazy Bernie and Sleepy Joe which probably is there to inflate the hopes of people who believe that Sleepy Joe will be influenced or make concessions : https://www.npr.org/2020/07/08/889189235/democratic-task-forces-deliver-biden-a-blueprint-for-a-progressive-presidency
Crazy Bernie supporters should be careful and read the policies on Sleepy Joe’s website rather than putting their hopes into media reports about this Fake News blueprint
A few months ago I tried reading his website’s health care “plan” that the enough_sanders_spam types would always fire back with when ppl complained about Biden not having any plans. I read it twice. I had a friend read it just to make sure. It’s complete gibberish with all of the empty neoliberal buzz words. From what we could discern, he doesn’t have a fucking health care plan at all. Well, there was one part about how he’ll implement an extremely narrow and means tested to oblivion credit system for a small fraction of black people, but that was it.
