Without mentioning Biden by name, Bernie Sanders explains why Biden shouldn’t be the nominee

In 2019 we should all agree that the eventual Democratic nominee will need to give Democratic voters a reason to get out and vote. Democrats have demonstrated their willingness to boycott elections and candidates that don't offer anything other then "I'm a little less bad than the other guy." Here is Bernie on the topic when asked whether Biden could fire up the Democratic base.
H"Voter turnout has got to be more and more young people, more and more working class people, more lower-income people, who traditionally do not get involved," he said. "But you're not going to have that turnout unless the candidate has issues that excite people and energize people. That means you have to be talking about Medicare-for-all. You have to be talking about raising the minimum wage to a living wage of $15 an hour. You have to be talking about making public colleges and universities tuition-free, and canceling student debt. You've got to be talking about climate change and a bold response to the planetary crisis."

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester joined with her colleagues in voting to pass H.R. 3401 as amended by the Senate, providing much-needed emergency funding for the humanitarian crisis at the border. “While I am disappointed that the House version of the emergency funding bill will not be enacted, the humanitarian crisis on our Southern Border necessitates immediate action and this bill accomplishes that. My priority is ensuring that children under the care of the United States government are safe and appropriately cared for - this vote reflects that priority,” said Congresswoman Blunt Rochester. “As I said when the House passed our version of the emergency funding bill earlier this week, money alone will not solve this problem. It is time for the Senate to begin working with us on comprehensive immigration reform.
SO Cute!
