The guy is a clown.

Pro war and pro torture part of the Bush administration. But at least he didn’t say mean things on YouTube.

Healthcare, ‘ Stop the pharmaceutical industry from ripping off the American people by making sure that no one in America pays over $200 a year for the medicine they need by capping what Americans pay for prescription drugs under Medicare for All.’.

The green deal, ‘ End the greed of the fossil fuel industry and hold them accountable.’

Free college, ‘ Cancel all student loan debt for the some 45 million Americans who owe about $1.6 trillion and place a cap on student loan interest rates going forward at 1.88 percent.’

Workplace democracy, ‘ Deny federal contracts to companies that pay poverty wages, outsource jobs overseas, engage in union busting, deny good benefits, and pay CEOs outrageous compensation packages’

Housing for all, ‘End the housing crisis by investing $2.5 trillion to build nearly 10 million permanently affordable housing units.’

I believe we still have a capitalist economic system with some socialist tendencies...I simply want to know how Bernie will pay for his wish list..?

America is still a capitalistic economic system.

This guy has his nerve ...Bernie Sanders is Bad News ….Bad Guy … Frum was paid by the taxpayers to bullshit us into a war that cost over a million lives ...The mayhem caused by this tragic farce continues to this day ….This horror show has been going on for nearly 17 years ………….Frum has the nerve to condemn the man who opposed this war from the very start .. It is sad that major publications and cable networks in this country provide this man a platform to spew forth his bile and venom …….

Former vice president Joe Biden is embracing his role as the leading moderate in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary field. He has at times adopted an almost curmudgeonly tone about his opponents’ embrace of more progressive policies, preferring a nostalgia for the way things were back in the good old days of, say, 2015.

It’s an approach that, at first, seems at odds with where the party is going. We’ve noted previously that Democrats are increasingly likely to identify themselves as liberals, a trend that probably helps explain why so many of the 2020 candidates have embraced progressive positions — and why more progressive candidates have entered the race.

Polling, though, suggests that this may not be a foolproof strategy. For one thing, a crowd of more progressive candidates (an admittedly nebulous designation) will compete for the same voters, freeing Biden to vacuum up support from moderates. But polling also shows that Democrats overall aren’t necessarily prioritizing a candidate who espouses progressive policies. The data below are from a recent CNN-SSRS poll: More Democrats think it’s important for a nominee to work with Republicans than to support liberal policies.
