The revolution is canceled: Bernie Sanders leaves the American primaries. So the Democrats are entering the presidential race with an old acquaintance: Joe Biden is going to try to beat Donald Trump.
In the early weeks of the election season, Sanders' radical promises to drastically reform the country seemed so popular that the Democratic party and moderate voters became quite nervous. Could a man who calls himself a "democratic socialist" and preaches revolution win elections in the thoroughly capitalist US?
They don't have to test it, because Bernie Sanders has left the race . In the midst of a pandemic, it is not responsible to continue until the last vote is cast, he said in an online speech to his supporters. "I can't keep running a campaign that I can't win and that would disrupt the important work we all have to do."
With that, Sanders has to give up a second time against a politician from the top of the Democratic party. Sanders is an outsider on the far left flank. But the party prefers to nominate members of the established order as a presidential candidate: in 2016 Hillary Clinton, now it will be Joe Biden. Sanders called Biden "a very decent man."
He promised to influence the party program with which Biden enters the election race against Trump at the summer party convention. Biden will have to take his wishes seriously, because he desperately needs the Bernie supporters to beat Trump. However, some of them do not consider voting for a representative of the old guard in the party. Trump likes to exploit that division. "The Bernie people should come to the Republican party," he already tweeted.
Bernie Sanders is OUT! Thank you to Elizabeth Warren. If not for her, Bernie would have won almost every state on Super Tuesday! This ended just like the Democrats & the DNC wanted, same as the Crooked Hillary fiasco. The Bernie people should come to the Republican Party, TRADE!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 8, 2020
