Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and other Democratic Party leaders claim that US President Donald Trump will appear to win on election night only to lose once millions of mail-in votes are counted. They say he is already laying the ground to claim ballot fraud and refuse to concede defeat. US Democratic Party Senate leader Chuck Schumer has backed Bernie Sanders’ call for a plan for the “nightmarish scenario” of President Donald Trump refusing to concede in November’s election. Vermont Senator Sanders is the latest Democrat to claim Trump will refuse to accept defeat if he loses the election scheduled for November […]
The Democratic Socialist runner-up to Joe Biden argued for a “coalition” with Republican establishment figures against President Donald Trump. Democratic leftwinger Bernie Sanders says he wants a “serious debate” on his country’s future, but not until Joe Biden is elected president. “We’re going to come together to defeat Trump”, the Vermont senator told The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah, “and the day after Biden is elected, we’re going to have a serious debate about the future of this country”. Sanders lost out to Biden in the Democratic presidential nomination race earlier this year amid allegations of dirty tricks against his campaign – […]

In remarks Monday night, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders called for an “unprecedented response” to defeat President Trump and elect Joe Biden. Here are his remarks, as prepared for delivery: Good evening. Our great nation is now living in an unprecedented moment. We are facing the worst public health crisis in 100 years and the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression. We are confronting systemic racism and the enormous threat to our planet of climate change. And, in the midst of all of this, we have a president who is not only incapable of addressing these crises but is leading us […]

According to Politico’s delegate tracker, Biden has 2,632 delegates and Sanders currently has 1,076.

To Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, there’s always more than enough money. The presumptive Democratic presidential candidate on Tuesday put forward a $2 trillion plan to save the global environment. The plan “would attempt to eliminate carbon emissions from the power grid by 2035, put Americans into electric vehicles and zero-emission mass transit, and rebuild roads, bridges, and other infrastructure,” the Wall Street Journal reports. “The plan would devote spending to minority communities and bolster rules to support unions, which the Biden campaign frames as a way to ensure benefits go first to the poor and working-class people and […]

Somebody’s not the same as white people and black […]
Bernie Blackout, a new VICE TV documentary directed by Pat McGee examining the mainstream media’s alleged bias against the Sanders campaign, is rooted in independent and alternative journalism instead of the corporate cable news outlets like MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN. While McGee’s film straightforwardly breaks down the cynical function of corporate media (that is, to turn a profit, not to tell the truth), the documentary unfortunately does not reach beyond the 24-hour news cycle and into the centuries of knowledge produced around spin, propaganda, and political manipulation that came before today’s U.S.-based podcasters, vloggers, and other digital writers (including me) […]
