Bernie Sanders is spot on with his call for Joe Biden to run as a progressive. Playing it safe and running as a moderate will only weaken Biden's chances of defeating Trump in 2024. Biden won the last election by appealing to the progressive base and addressing their concerns. If Biden aligns himself with bold progressive policies, he will energize the Democratic voters who turned out in record numbers to support him in the previous election. By championing a strong progressive agenda, he can not only solidify his base but also attract independent voters who are looking for transformative leadership. Sanders understands that this is a crucial time for our country. We need real solutions that address the economic disparities, climate change, healthcare, and racial injustice that so many Americans are struggling with. These issues cannot be solved with half-hearted measures or moderate approaches. It's clear that a moderate platform would only appease the conservative side, leaving the base uninspired and at risk of staying home on election day. Bernie's call for a strong progressive agenda is not about self-serving political games, but rather a strategic move to ensure a Democratic victory in 2024. So, let's not dismiss Sanders' advice as mere political jockeying. Instead, let's acknowledge that running as a progressive is the best path forward for Biden if we want to see him beat Trump once again and bring the change that our country so desperately needs.
