vote on the green new deal. this wasn t an aoc policy. this was an equal amount of democrats and republicans investigating an incident. if they can t compromise on this, they will compromise on nothing. so it s happening in the democratic party, and they re realizing this in order for democracy to move forward. gene? the democratic party now has to basically represent the entire sane spectrum of political thought in this country. because the republicans have decided to marginalize themselves, and put themselves into some fantasy camp. you have, you know, sanders and aoc on the left, and manchin and sinema and a few others on the
or is he trailing sanders? and observe campaign veteran says it shows a new era of progressive politics that is closer to bernie sanders vision or america s wealth downwards. it doesn t mean that biden has gone socialist. sanders wants more direct climate action in the new biden bill, and biden has not been with liberals in a plan to wipe out student debt up to 50 grand or go to the mat. and as he argues, some liberals have been arguing for years, the party s base is progressive on economic justice, and the base is larger than the maga movement, and the new president biden increasingly sounds like he gets that, which means he sounds more like the party s progressors than, say, joe biden from the 90s. ceos make millions and millions of dollars but don t
security as well. medicare and medicaid. he meant iraq, he meant clean up the streets with the crime bill. that is then, in joe biden s career, we know that party he s in seemed too split. to presidential cycles in a row. first, it was clinlton and sanders and biden versus sanders. they have been engaging in months of vigous policy debate. joe has voted for terrible trade agreements. i don t know if there is any trade agreement that the senator thought would make sense. joe and i have a fundamental disagreement here, in case you haven t noticed. obviously, the powers of the court are useful. if you re laughing, joe, you re missing the point. this is an existential crisis.
messages, their messages have been very consistent and i think their support has been in the polls very consistent as a result. and i m wondering if a little over a month out from the iowa caucuses, this will turn out to be a showdown. because we are seeing buttigieg, the other centrist in the race, in that top tier, and elizabeth warren, the other progressive, starting to fall. so i m just wondering if we re starting to see a biden versus sanders dynamic starting to play out. speaking of that, between warren and sanders, and this unspoken progressive pact, how might we see these two candidates who represent the more progressive or left-leaning wing of the party team up for a potential 2020 ticket. is that likely? we will really have to see how that plays out. but i wouldn t say it is likely. remember, the democratic party right now, ahead of the debates, is actually citing a lot of issues when it comes to diversity, on the debate stage, and i would say that comes on,
the edges of the stage who are looking to get attention. biden s presence on that stage tonight, is that going to make for an inviting target. when i say sanders, too, i m th thinking about last night about would you abolish private health insurance. elizabeth warren said she would. that s something we ll hear potentially tonight. that s an area where she and bernie sanders are competing for voters. if sanders were to try to make a stand like that, is there a potential for him with biden standing right next to him, does that become the issue that could be a flashpoint in some sort of a biden versus sanders contrast. that s one thing i perked up when i saw that issue raised last night. right here with me, mike, you ve covered joe biden forever it seems. bernie sanders was taking a shot at elizabeth warren last night on twitter right after the
