With the 2024 presidential race beginning to unfold, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont said he believes that President Joe Biden will again earn the Democratic nomination — and the president likely win reelection if he runs on a strong progressive campaign.

“I think at this moment … we have got to bring the progressive community together to say, you know what, we’re going to fight for a progressive agenda but we cannot have four more years of Donald Trump in the White House,” Sanders said Sunday on “Face the Nation.”

Sanders endorsed Mr. Biden in April. Sanders referenced several of those issues in underscoring what he believes is the importance of building “a strong progressive agenda” to win the presidency in 2024.

      As well as mandated increasing federal fossil fuel extraction leases many times over before beginning any expansion of renewable energy.

      It’s amazing how neoliberals will just blindly believe the propaganda of Politico, NYT and WaPo 🤦

        Would you rather be dependent on foreign supply while waiting for renewable energy to be built? A lot of america still runs on oil and it’s gonna take a long time for that change even with the green transition finally happening.

          Fun fact: the US already produces much more oil than it uses and exports most of it.

          The “energy independency needs oil” argument is a false one made up by the fossil fuel industry and the corrupt politicians they own.

          Their efforts, not a lack of feasibility, are the main impediments to transitioning to a renewable energy grid, which can be done surprisingly fast (a 50MW wind farm can be operational in 6 months, a 10MW one in only 2, and a solar farm in 6-12) and the resulting decentralised grid would be much more resilient in avoiding catastrophic failure than one focused on a few large fossil fuel burning plants that stop working every time it gets too hot or too cold.

          In conclusion: your pro-fossil fuel argument is invalid and you’ve fallen for empty propaganda.

        As an actual climate lobbyist, the IRA is the single most effective piece of climate legislation ever passed.

          Lobbying for WHICH climate action group, though? Some are as good for climate action as Neera Tanden’s CAP is for progress.

          In fact, you’re sounding like a more polite version of her right now with your exceedingly vague yet utterly false trumpeting of neoliberal saviours 🙄

            Lobbying for WHICH climate action group

            That’s not relevant to their point

              It’s relevant to whether their profession lends any legitimacy to their ridiculous claim.

                  Nope, that’s not at all what I was saying.

                  I was pointing out that not all climate lobbyists know any more about climate policy and the content of specific bills than reasonably diligent laypeople.

                  As such, “as a climate lobbyist”, does not necessarily lend the authority to the following statement that some might imagine.

        They seem to be able to detect foreign propaganda and are immune to it, and deny US propaganda exists, despite living in the propagandized country on earth

          And even then, they’re much better than Republicans who can’t detect and are extremely susceptible to foreign propaganda.

          Of course, “much better than Republicans at resisting propaganda” is like “much better at bowling than an armadillo”. 🤷
