    What are we going to do when Sanders is gone? He’s the only one that seems to get shit done.

      It’s not like other progressive humans don’t exist. They just have to run. Do your part by helping out progressives running at lower level offices now so that they can be our Senators in the coming years.

      Thanks Sanders for making Biden do that.

      This was one of those campaign promises he made when Sanders conceded in the primary. Pepperidge Farm remembers.

      From the article:

      In April, President Joe Biden hosted a gathering at the White House where he credited Sanders and the HELP committee for spearheading the effort that led to the pharmaceutical companies caving under the public scrutiny.

      Biden gives Sanders credit for this.

      Socialism would be if the inhaler companies were democracies that were owned by everyone who worked there, rather than dictatorships owned by a CEO.

      This isn’t socialism. It’s social democracy, and arguably simply social liberalism
