The summary is created with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and quality guaranteed by Aftenposten journalists.
– Although I disagreed with him on some points, he was the most effective president in the modern history of our country. He writes Sanders on 81-year-old Biden.
Bernie Sanders, 82, is the longest-serving independent candidate in Congress, but he is closely associated with the Democrats. He ran for president as a Democrat in 2020, but Support Biden's candidacy After his resignation.
Sanders had a good understanding of younger, more progressive voters, both when he ran against Hillary Clinton in 2016 and against Biden in 2020. The fact that Sanders got behind Biden’s candidacy was a big reason why Biden won the election.
– That's enough now!
Bernie Sanders writes that Biden is the strongest candidate to defeat Donald Trump in the November 5 election.
“We should learn a lesson from the progressive and centrist forces in France, who this week defied major political differences to achieve a major victory over right-wing extremism,” the senator writes.
“Enough now! Biden may not be the perfect candidate, but he will be the perfect candidate, and he should be. With an effective campaign that addresses the needs of working families, he will not only beat Trump, but beat him badly,” Sanders says. “It’s time for Democrats to stop whining and complaining.”
He also writes that he understands that some Democrats get nervous when they have to explain the president’s blunders and misuse of names. But he feels more sorry for Republicans:
– They must explain why they have convicted a candidate who has been convicted of 34 serious crimes, faces charges that could result in dozens of convictions, a candidate who has been involved in more than 4,000 lawsuits, has been repeatedly bankrupted, and has been documented as having lied and misrepresented himself thousands of times.
He highlights why he believes Biden would be a good president. Among other things, Sanders notes:
- The economy has been rebuilt faster than any economist dared to believe after the pandemic.
- After decades of talking about poor roads, bridges and water systems, huge sums of money are now being invested in rebuilding the United States' infrastructure, which will also create millions of well-paying jobs.
- Student debt was erased for nearly five million Americans.
- Discounts on essential medicines and free vaccines.
I strongly disagree with supporting Israel.
Sanders says he disagrees strongly with Biden on several issues, citing in particular “US support for Israel's horrific war against the Palestinian people.”
But he complains about how, over the past two weeks, the major American media has focused compulsively on President Biden’s cognitive abilities.
The media has been frantically searching for anyone who no longer supports the president. But sadly, too many Democrats have joined the firing squad.
The New York Times called on Biden to resign and has Counting machine Which shows how many people have withdrawn their support for him.
About 20 prominent Democrats have already publicly called on the president to resign. Biden came off badly in a televised debate against Trump on June 28. And at a press conference last Thursday, things went wrong for Joe Biden twice. He called his vice president “Trump” and managed to introduce Ukrainian President Zelensky as “President Putin.”
On Saturday, it also became known that 24 former Democratic leaders expressed their belief that the president should release the delegates before the national convention, so that the party can nominate others.
In conclusion, Senator Sanders points out that American billionaires have never been as good as they are now, while inequality in the country is greater than ever. He writes that Biden will raise taxes on the rich, so that the well-being of workers, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor can be ensured. While Trump wants to reduce the tax burden on billionaires even further.
