With the unveiling of Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden’s “joint task
force” proposals for the 2020 Democratic Party platform, Sanders has put
the final nail in the coffin of his so-called “political revolution.”
The joint task force initiative was first announced when Sanders gave
his endorsement of Biden in mid-April. The task forces were composed of
leading members of the Sanders and Biden campaigns, including two
members of the Democratic Socialists of America: Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez and Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight
Attendants-CWA. The initiative was meant to promote “party unity” ahead
of the election.
The result of the Biden-Sanders collaboration is nothing short of a
total repudiation of all the central pillars of Sanders’ campaign amid
the greatest social and economic catastrophe in US history.
