A series of task forces by Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders yielded a 110-page policy wish list for Biden — including recommendations that he commit to eliminating carbon pollution from power plants by 2035 and fund universal pre-K.

"I don't think you could find any issue that we couldn't find an agreeable resolution on, that everybody in the room said, 'That will work,'"said Jared Bernstein, Biden's former economic adviser in the Obama administration and a task force member."I don't think you could find anything in there that he won't want to take a very close look at."

Biden's campaign has yet to publicly commit to doing anything other than"reviewing" the recommendations. "We did not have any impressions that we were going to turn Joe Biden into Bernie Sanders. That was not going to happen. That did not happen," said Faiz Shakir, who managed Sanders' presidential campaign and helped coordinate the task forces.Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal co-chaired the health care task force.

This didn’t do enough. And a lot of you don’t realize you’re Republicans.

Bernie if they have your family blink twice!

Venezuela here we come....

Sanders is working to defeat Dems, not to help them. Ignore him.

Task force to push further left......zok who came up eith the idea to make everyone wear a uniform ?

Learned it from the death of my grandfather, doesn't matter who employed you with their insurance. They have their limits, but medical expenses to maintain your health do not. so then, no matter how well you were 'insured', you're on MEDICARE FOR ALL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH REAL

Radical left is the enemy of the USA!!!

I just saw Biden hijacked OUR ENTIRE CAMPAIGN SLOGAN, 'IT'S ABOUT US' original joe. thanks for the reference to STRENGTH AND WINNING! SMILES BERNIE! love you always.

Don’t push Biden too far!

They did not.

May not want to say that out loud

How is he proposing to pay for everything?

Healthcare for all needs to be a real thing, why won’t Biden grab it, Bernie your bought if you don’t push it

He won’t get the Black vote.

This is good news. If it's not too progressive to turn off moderates who are going to vote for the Democratic candidate as a non-Trump vote, maybe for the 1st time ever. But good Dems are going to unite. Saw today that Biden has a jobs bill...done by Elizabeth Warren.

Can we just erase Biden and bring back Bernie please.

Yuck

How does that help him win in November? Only losers want that!

Joe Biden’s unity task force released recommendations for the DNC platform that crib straight from Bernie Sanders’ radical agenda. We found multiple instances of word-for-word copying from Bernie.

Yeah I swallowed that bitter pill of 'Look at how scary it is, you HAVE to vote for us and let US do what We want' back in '16. If you want my vote, make concessions. I'm not voting for another milk toast Republican light, who is getting paid off by the same mega corperations.

Go Joe!

Better wake up ol sleepy dementia Joe first and then..meh damnocraps

And y'all wonder why we don't vote for conservatives like Biden 🤷‍♂️

Sounds lame Waiting for TheBirthdayParty platform

Nothing about child trafficking?

Five years too late.

Which isn't the same as a campaign promise!

So five years too late to stave off total catastrophe

Biden: “Gosh, I don't think the Republicans would like this very much. Let's toss the whole thing out as a sign of good faith so we can get the GOP to the negotiating table and start working on a bipartisan compromise of where we should be imposing austerity measures.”

ngl providing money for education doesnt sound like something the democrats usually go for

We’re so fucked

2035? We're f*cked.

Emphasis on... wish... list. Like christman. Maybe you get something, maybe you get nothing or some halfmeasure

Too late on carbon emissions. We're already screwed due to the Arctic spewing methane like nuts. Universal pre-k? Should already have that

By 2035!!!! I thought the planet was going to be uninhabitable & we were all going the way of the stegosaurus in ten years.

The problem is the American people aren’t demanding anything from Biden and aren’t giving him a reason push any policies. People just want trump gone and Biden has their vote for nothing. He can do nothing. And probably will.

Is this the Biden potential Presidency or a policy driven doctrine that has to pass in the 🏠 of Representatives and the Senate...?

Okay we must all register and vote. Trump and that Republican controlled Senate and admin has to go. You know why? Look at the carnage. Your lives literally depends on it.

I wonder if Hunter Biden is still going to keep collecting millions from China, while daddy Biden is running for President?

That's a nice wish list, BernieBros but Biden is going to have his hands full just trying to clean up the mess Trump made.

Lol. Democratic Party can't bill the Socialist cuz America so they bill the career politician whose peak is 'First Black President's VP!!!!!' and then trickle in decent ideas from Bernie

Do Democrats want to still raise taxes in this failing economy? That’s a game changer.

Biden is going to to all that during or after a Corona Communism Virus ? Why isn’t Biden calling his Democrat leadership in the cities where crimes have gone up 500%, and give advice to his Democrat pals?

Please, send your platform to Kanye for evaluation.

Top of the list should be 'eliminate bipartisanship.' Republicans have much to answer for. The Democrats gave us that for 8 years under Obama, and look where we are for the last 3 1/2. We need a 3rd political party. Being an independent is not enough.

2035? If Biden (or Sanders, for that matter) is still exchanging O for CO2 by then, he won't know whether or not he should have raisins in his oatmeal. Easy to make promises (whether rational or goofy-as-shit like this one) when you won't be around to answer for the failure.

Joe doesn’t know what day it is.

Wow a plan. Novel. R’s are you listening? Probably not 45 is too busy tweeting

Hope these task forces start shouting their plans from the roof tops!

Aka, 60% tax, got it!

Everyone submit your orders to the nursing home escapee.....

Good luck there. Joe Biden is DNC Trump Lite. Less crass, big donor fulfilling.

What? The green new fucking deal? Obama asked & got a boat load of money for it & it vanished in thin air.
