News media across the country today sounded the bell for Joe Biden as Bernie Sanders suspended his presidential campaign. They reinforced the point that has been touted all during the Democrat primaries, that the party wanted / needed a candidate for President from the ‘moderate’ wing. Today they want you to think they have that candidate in Joe Biden.

As evidenced by the Biden/Sander policy proposal distributed this week, the truth is, there is no ‘moderate’ wing in the 21st century Democrat party. The party hasn’t had a moderate candidate / President since Jimmy Carter. The Socialist & Marxist rhetoric and party platforms has gotten more ‘progressively’ radical left since the 1970s.

Biden himself confirmed that when after the Sanders announcement he said this: “”>[Bernie] hasn’t just run a political campaign; he’s created a movement,” …”And make no mistake about it, I believe it’s a movement that is as powerful today as it was yesterday.” “That’s a good thing for our nation and our future.”

Biden also said that Sanders and his supporters changed the dialogue in the U.S. on a number of progressive issues like income inequality, universal health care, climate change and free college tuition.

Biden further said he wants Sanders to be part of his presidential ‘journey’.

Sanders in his suspension video said that he would remain on the ballot and that his followers should continue to vote for him in the remaining primaries to insure they get enough delegates to again, as in 2016, have a ‘progressive’ affect on the Democrat Party Platform. He also said he will work with Joe Biden to push our progressive ideas forward. Then, standing united, we will go forth to defeat President Trump … and institutionalize the progressive changes that we are all building together … and if we keep organizing and fighting I have no doubt … that we will change this nation and with our like-minded friends around the globe change the entire world.

The party is set. Not moderate, but Socialist, behind the curtain of progressivism. Remember what Obama said in 2008? We want to ‘fundamentally change this country and re-distribute its wealth”. Same thing Bernie says. Yet the Democrats and the media made everyone believe that Obama was a moderate. They will do it again with Biden.

So the partnership is set. Partly, of course, for Biden to pick up Sanders supporters, who by the way, will want something for that support. Also, the Green Party is actively going after Sanders supporters, so Biden will have the negotiate even harder with Bernie so the Democrats don’t lose 2 or 3 more points, they don’t have to lose, to the Green Party.

Just look at the positions the Democrat party takes on the issues. Then look at how Joe Biden as he has been pulled farther and farther left by Sanders. The 2020 Democrat Party Platform will be even more ‘progressively’ Socialist.

The following three charts explains in great detail what positions on the issues to expect from Biden in 2020.

Watch these yellow positions move farther radically left between now and November.
