12. Progressives need to be included in the campaign

I think Biden, if he is the nominee, in order to win the November election needs to light the fire under the younger voters to come out in bigger numbers than they have been. The VP pick needs to be a progressive favorite and policies need to be in the platform like a really progressive health care agenda that includes medicare for all who want it and some tax improvement for the working class. Student loan debt forgiveness and no tuition junior college.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
