Sanders’ long-time platformwhat they’re all running on
Re: “Dems clash especially Harris, Biden” (Page A1, June 28):
While Harris and Biden fought, Bernie Sanders emerged after Thursday’s debate — Wednesday’s too — as the clear winner. Why? Because his ideals, those he has been driving for decades, are the standard that most of the other candidates worked into their answers, over both nights.
His platform, including such ideas as free public college, a $15 minimum wage and Medicare for all, are now mainstream and popular with the American public and the politicians wooing them.
But this didn’t make it hard for Bernie to stand out. Quite the contrary — Bernie Sanders is the only candidate who is using his candidacy, what he calls a “political revolution,” to expand a movement that says enough to the insanity of our corporate-run society.
As he closed at the debate, complimenting his fellow participants and their ideas, he summed it up: “Nothing will change unless we have the guts to take on Wall Street, the fossil fuel industry and other powerful corporate forces standing in the way of progressive change.”
