Supporters of Bernie Sanders believe this crisis will force the U.S. to have a reckoning about its financial and health care systems — reviving the issues he's long focused on, such as Medicare for All.

and send emails to his supporters, but his message has shifted.

The campaign is not regularly contrasting with and critiquing Biden. Instead, it is largely focused on educating people about the virus and the economic assistance available. "The fundraising that you associate with the campaign, raising for the candidate, has all suspended," said Shakir."All we're raising for is groups who are doing front-line work to help vulnerable communities. We've raised over $3 million.""It's gonna be a very steep road, I would not deny that for a moment," Sandersa few days ago.

Make it mandatory going forward that gig workers/self employed are required to either structure their business as LLC's & pay state and federal unemployment insurance or re-classify them as W2 employees if they meet guidelines. Now is the best opportunity 2 reform the gig economy

Yes - Bernie for Pres

These are only sustainable for short periods, not permanently

DavidKlion So you can't tell the difference between short-term policies to stimulate the economy/support workers and socialism? Bernie's done. Get used to the idea.

DavidKlion Wow. And he didn’t have to be president for this. He needs to drop out now, but he won’t because:

Used to be for Bernie until his people started accusing JoeBiden of rape.

His people are saying that JoeBiden has raped women. He’s a groper I know, but a rapist? Bernie is quiet about it.

Nope.. hes finally getting a fraction a coverage from the media. 🙄 Nothing has changed....

It’s in a time of emergency. Not all the time.

Biden is incompetent. DNC knows this. Media knows this. They want Trump to win. It’s a scam. It’s all fake. Blue and Red “teams” both want to widen the gap between rich and poor.

And all ideas that will move this country closer to total collapse. Just because fools in Washington capitulated over $1 trillion dollars in order to get the $1 trillion dollars they really needed doesn't make this a good thing. Thanks for supporting socialism, NPR.

That he had nothing to do with passing.

Instead he championed a democrat spending spree in an emergency funding bill that delayed the funds while bitching about the funds being held up. Bernie is no champion.

He's a person that cares about people.

You know what?These aren't some new original ideas!It isn't even 'socialism' is some new sense.Obama care originally was socialized medicine

Why do you keep phrasing things so misleadingly? Yikes.

And has he ever written a bill and got anything passed without a pandemic happening?

Apples to oranges. This is a temporary thing & cannot be sustained permanently without turning our country into Venezuela. That’s just common sense

He’s still wrong

This is such a bullshit article. There's a global pandemic reifying everything Bernie Sanders has been saying, new credible sexual assault allegation against the frontrunner, and the primaries are not even close to over.

No shit, guys.

BIDEN 👏🏼 CANNOT 👏🏼 BEAT 👏🏼 TRUMP 👏🏼

The corrupt DNC can go die in a fire. Biden is unfit. Bernie should run.

Bernie should step out and give his support to Biden.

WolfFromPDX 'Likely facing defeat'...? I'm sorry, have the primaries already been decided, especially considering Biden is circling the drain pretty hard at the moment? Fate fucking help me, NPR, can you and the rest of news media stop being biased and actually present facts for once?

DavidKlion BernieSanders doesn't know how to quit. Just won't give up. Mfs can count him down and out all they want, but bro is gonna get up and keep doing what he do.

Biden supporters are in for a rude November awakening. After that, the DNC must be reformed. Starting at the top.

DavidKlion and medicare for all, which y'all poopooed

👍 Bernie Sanders is a Senator with ethic and integrity.We need to have a President like him. He has my 🗳.

And by the people who actually bothered to be there and implement them. Get lost grandstander.

And we're on to the Convention!

DavidKlion Wow it only took a pandemic to get NPR to care about Bernie

Covid-19? His opponent is accused of being a sex offender. Unlike the farce that McCain's VP would be President, all of the potential 2020 candidates VP's could be!

As usual Bernie is AllTalkNoAction

You are already declaring a winner with your headline. Despicable propaganda.

We’re at a bit of a tipping point. It’s conceivable that people start to see how things could actually change since the props holding up normal life are week.

Are you in the tank for Bernie? Give it up! Let’s move forward to defeat Trump.

Go away Bernie. Or do something actually helpful for a change

Stop posting this. You are inviting his toxic trolls over.

by a once in a 100 year event.

its not over

🤍 The only sane choice. BernieIsOurFDR BernieInTheWH

It's not bernie's agenda. It's MLK's.

Nothing will resuscitate his political career.

Will never forgive Bernie.

Bernie why did you support real estate developers on the relief bill? What happened to the missing millions in campaign funds? Where is your illegitimate son? Still on welfare? Why are you a deadbeat daddy?

Paid sick leave even makes sense from business ownership/management POV. What wise businessperson wants a sick employee in need taking out the entire staff with illness because they need the money?

Berners say. There *were* definitely some very active bots overnight. Like we need another CultOfPersonality –but a weak one? We need to unite as a people + a POTUS who knows how to unite & work w/ others at the executive level, Secretaries, States, Congress, Foreign Affairs

Please stop giving more oxygen to a false choice; there’s still a primary to be had. Maybe this moment will induce some soul-searching amongst my fellow Democrats. I dare hope, maybe, some courage.

Sounds like everyone suddenly loves Democratic Socialism.

It ain’t over.

Bernie can donate his money to his constituents or shut up.

4 more years

God help me, don't encourage them.

NPR biased much?

Only in your deluded world 🤣😷

People would rather get coronavirus than elect Bernie.

Lol, proving once again how delusional he and his supporters are that communism will save us. Such a stupid idea

They are right. But they don’t want the snake oil he’s selling. We will happily opt for capitalism with guard rails.

Will never happen here Bernie

Nope.

tony_hamlin watch trump take Bernies platform and reword it after all of this.

Sanders makes more sense every day in the current (always there) vulnerability especially in a plutocratic (let's be realistic here) political climate that runs on avarice. Biden (let's face it) is beholden by big donors and in the end cannot really stand for the people.JoeBiden

I am done with NPR. The only thing that makes them remotely tolerable is Tiny Desk. I think musicians should boycottTinyDesk

Right, because all the other socialist/communist countries are doing so well at it.

We will do it if it happens and he is in the Senate. Go home Bernie.

I’m sorry, believe? I don’t know how much more concrete evidence we need to show us how broken and dysfunctional the American system is.

Also MSMCoverTara please. Thanks NPR!

OnlyBernieBeatsTrump MARK MY WORDS.

You bunch of filthy shills-Where are the damn journalists at NPR who aren’t willing to sell their integrity to the corporations who give them their paycheck as long as they say exactly which candidates to lick & which to stomp. Good people at NPR👉REVOLT & get NPR BACK 2 ETHICS!

Goodbye Bernie

Bernie your verbal delivery has an audience that is unaccepting the spewing of spit and yelling ... just saying .

LuchG2 And we are far from “likely defeat” when Biden is obviously demented and has new MeToo problems and half the country hasn’t even voted yet! National Propaganda Radio = NPR 🤬

Bernie is a communist who wants us to be more like the Chinese government. They sure did a great job with this current virus. Oh! And previous viruses too. I will be glad to work on a better plan for the USA. Not his.

LuchG2 We wouldn’t be in such dire straights if profits weren’t always the driving force in this country! BernieIsRight We need MedicareForAll! If anything is learned during the pandemic, the question isn’t “How are you gonna pay for it?” It’s “Whose side are you in!” BailOutPeople

Yeah cause counties like Spain and Italy that have national healthcare have done SO well with Covid19

It’s true.

'Facing Likely Defeat' Propaganda from the Neoliberal DemocRATS who told you in 2016 that Donald Trump could NEVER beat HillaryClinton Bernie2020 NeverBiden

Not...... Socialistcapitalism does not recognize itself

proviewsusa What’s this Pro-establishment covering BernieSanders The same that ran a HillaryClinton interview bashing Bernie on repeat all of Super Tuesday

proviewsusa Less editorializing in the headlines, please. The primary may be rigged, but it ain't over yet.

Yes, let’s pay down the debt so we can start paying cash for these events instead of putting it on the credit card

feeltheBern, fix the system

Plot twist: Bernie unleashed this on us for our own good

Sanders is nothing but a opportunist and nothing more than Trump lite. Sanders and his voters will work hard to get Trump his second term. By the way, in 2017 till now Sanders in the Senate still has not moved his ideas forward. Where are his bills They're not up for a vote.

Supporters of Bernie Sanders believe a lot of things, that doesn't mean anything.

DropOutBernie

Bernie needs to suspend then partner with Biden to get his (Bernie’s) ideas the best shot of happening... think of it as a coalition government 💙

Most Americans don’t want single payer healthcare. Most Americans enjoy having control over their healthcare and their lives in general.

Bernie is a idiot, is their a cure for that and can he get a handicapped parking sticker for that Bernie needs a session with Nurse ratchet

Why likely defeat media? No one has enough delegates, and only one has his marbles intact. C’mon.

These same supporters got trump elected in 2016 and are on tract to re-elect trump in 2020.

It's over, Bernie.

I support Sanders but it won't

'Supporters of Bernie Sanders'? Who does not want UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE now? Npr is the establishment.

They thought he could get elected too.

So we’re not remotely considering that rape allegations might have an impact on how this turns out?

🤬

Go home, Bernie.

I sure hope so...

Sadly once we get past the crisis it will all be forgotten and everyone will focus on the next shiny object.

It should, but it won’t. Because change is bad and the rich won’t allow it to happen.

People that don't support Bernie think that there needs to be a reckoning of how the country addresses healthcare and financial systems.

I’m not bailing out white collar kids while blue collar has to toil during the pandemic. Take you bougie socialism and shove it.

With any Dem in the WH, they will have these discussions. His supporters seem to think he is the only one who can do it. They are wrong.

It should. But it won’t.

Fund public medicine like we find the military

he looks great

revive? i don't think it ever died. maybe 'bringing a sharper focus to' would be better.

All of the issues with the status quo this pandemic has exposed should make any reasonable person reevaluate their position. Whether that shows in future contests will say a lot about the kind of electorate we are.

Let’s hope so

Bernie would be perhaps the least qualified politician in America to deal with fixing the U.S.’s financial system. His remarks over the years have demonstrate to me that he has very little grasp of even how the current system works.

How is it even remotely a new cause for this campaign? Lol

No

Good luck with it.

Bernie , go away , you lost...

He's correct. I have been saying the same thing since this crisis began. How could it not?

Crypto will become the new world reserve currency

It’s the messenger not the message

Go home senator

I want Bernie to take over now.

Oh FFS. Dont give this guy any air time. He's irrelevant. The world has moved on.

All I ever hear when this guy speaks is my tax rate going up and up and up. Sure, he says he is going to tax the richest of us. But when he runs those people and their companies out of the US, then who is left to pay for it?

Anyone that STILL opposes Medicare for all doesn't deserve my vote.

Bernie’s defeat is only “likely” If you think Biden can evade having to speak publicly before November BidensCognitiveDecline

They would have to totally reform the tax code in order for Medicare for All to work. Everyone would have to pay taxes, no more refunds, no more deductions.

NOPE! NeverBernie Socialist Dems: NYC Mayor (and now Murderer) Bull de Blasio! DEMOCRATS are half way there with Obamacare! FFS let them finish! Bernie FAILED AT IT IN VT and NO ONE REMEMBERS IT!! FFS.

We are going to bankrupt an entire generation of this country playing with Berni Sanders ideas for a couple of months

Insurance is a fucking scam

It's not about ' ... believe ... crisis will force ... reckoning ... financial and health ...' It is the fact - NOW IN THE MIDST OF COVID-19 - that Bernie had the plan, since 2016, that would have avoided Trump & reduced the pandemic impacts to FLATTENED CURVES. PresidentBernie

Bernie will soon be forgotten

Yeah, what an example of why improved access to preventative care (healthier population = less severe Covid cases) and more government funding (tests should’ve been ready in masses weeks ago) is so important. M4A is better for the country in the long run, fiscally and socially

Go away Bernie...move on, for the sake of the party !

Americans want single-payer healthcare. But they don’t want Bernie Sanders. That has been made obvious in the primaries. Long before the pandemic, most Americans said they wanted either M4A or at least a public option. Just like most Americans want some form of gun control.

Has Bernie done anything his entire life? I will not take any device from anyone who haven’t even held a real job. Besides sucking on the government tit. And owing three houses.

Haha what a joke. Socialized countries like Italy got hit hardest because Of poor healthcare infrastructure. More lies from NPR

Sanders is the only 1 in the 2020 Dem / Ind / Prog field who understands the lessons of COVID-19, while the pandemic continues to rage, & who can implement them starting day one, Jan. 20 2021. Why can't 'public media' make this more than a footnote? Corporate partners. Wake up.

I will never ever vote or support bernie. I'm done with the terrorist in birkenstocks.

Bahahahaha

neverBernie and those ideas were valid prior to the disaster.

Well so far our death rates lower than these socialized systems

i mean, it already has

It might. But Bernie and his supporters need to understand that he can't be the one to make that happen. He's too toxic. Moses couldn't go to the Promised Land, and Bernie can't be president. If he really wants to change the world, he'll take a step back.

BS. If anything, this mess should tell people how bad government runs things hence smaller government is better. Focus locally.

He hasn’t done anything remotely like this for Vermont in 40 years of talking about it. How does anyone think he do anything for 50 states ?

Monty Python's parrot sketch is perfect illustration. The parrot is indeed dead just like Bernie's campaign, but they will insist it's not as part of the grift.

Bernie thinks he discovered fire.

Those fools still want GOP to be in charge of their healthcare!? If anything all this kiss the ring nonsense proves MFA is a bad idea. Belgium is the size of a single state. Models like that don’t scale to 50 states and the Federal-State partnership model we have in the U.S.

I'm no Bernie supporter, but I've always agreed with these two ideas. We better walk away from this with healthcare, financial, telework, education, etc reform.

For how long are the American People going to let Corporate America rake workers over the coals, again and again and again? They wack workers over the head with a sledge hammer, driving them deeper and deeper into the ground and we bend over and say 'may I have another.' Sad.

I just read a NYT article that said Premiums are going to increase by at least 40% and you don't think people want a different type of healthcare system in this country?!

That’s if Americans aren’t idiots.

They are going to bring us Trump for another 4 years... and that pisses me off.

Considering that the US medical system is handling the crisis better than most places in the world, Medicare for all doesn't have a chance. Stop promoting bs,

America doesn’t deserve BernieSanders!

Not a Bernie supporter, but that is true. And that's what trump and the GOP are resisting.

Nope!

It's over. He isnt polling above 40 in any remaining state. He is 300 delegates behind. Delusional.

ALL SYS(s) : Refiner’s Fire

Yes of course a better Healthcare System would yield better results but it's a terrible answer for an ongoing crisis to say we need a new healthcare system that would take 10 years to enact

We’re all aware of this. Supporters of Sanders aren’t the only ones and don’t have a special insight into common sense. Biden will be the candidate. Sanders need to get out.

Biden doesn't support everyone having healthcare.

Lmao I thought Bernie was dead

☝️☝️Denial and delusion are not limited to Trump supporters.

I think Sanders can make a difference even without being president. 🙂
