Bernie: "Policy task force will make Biden most progressive president since FDR"

https://www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch/bernie-joint-task-force-policies-will-make-biden-most-progressive-president-since-fdr-87244357520?fbclid=IwAR2ZjVjjjBsBK_gAmlY0jWhUZVwkapjSb1dUE0gpu5zWf405ZnokhJ_30j0

"Sen. Sanders on Biden-Sanders unity task force recommendations: “I think the compromise that they came up with, if implemented, will make Biden the most progressive president since FDR.”

At this point I firmly believe any person calling themselves progressive and staunchly against Biden (somehow), is nothing short of a troll. And likely not actually a Progressive.

Will be able to campaign for Biden, but I think he'll do all he can. Sanders doesn't want to see another Trump term as much as any of us.

This virus is changing a lot of things that have been similar for generations within a short period of time. Politics and shopping are two big things that will never be the same. I think that the most.adaptable will be the most likely to win.the election. Joe seems like he is a lot more adaptable than Trump. If a politician like Joe goes out of style, we're in a lot more trouble than we thought.

Very odd... just the other day, there was an OP about how "progressives got rolled" which managed to get over 100 replies.

Aside from anything having to do with Covid, in what ways is this platform different from Hillary's platform?

his representatives said they got about 80% of what they wanted added to the platform.

I wonder what is so FDR-transformational this time, because Hillary's plan was the ACA with a public option and Medicare at 55; Biden's is an ACA with a public option and Medicare at 60. Hillary ran on a $15 minimum wage and a pathway to legalizing marijuana. The "progressives got rolled" articles said they didn't get anything new this time as far as I know.

I wonder if anyone knows what's different.
