The Gauzy Myth of the Sanders Campaign

[ramen]

37. This is an unflattering use of Biden's words..

he did say them, though, no? I do personally not want to see social security cut because it is the only safety net (though inadequate) that a lot of people have.

It does read as a somewhat misleading presentation, though, given Sanders words in that same era, although it does seem that Sanders took a stand in the end and refused to 'compromise' with republicans trying to gut or end social security. Sometimes compromise is the right thing to do and sometimes it is the wrong move.

When you initially posted this, I was worried it was going to be some kind of grotesque attack ad. That is not what I am seeing here. I think it is part of Sanders' effort to try and keep the American progressive agenda on the radar even as we pivot out of the primaries.
