It makes sense to withhold an endorsement to see if she’ll try to legitimately court progressives with substantive policy. I really don’t think she will but it’s worth a shot. Bernie’s old and his time in politics is coming to a close, but he knows how to be the squeaky wheel and make moves.
Bernie knows how the game is played.
When pressed about what it would take for him to endorse the Vice President, Sanders emphasized the importance of the upcoming campaign, highlighting critical issues such as climate change and economic rights. “We have to make sure that we elect the Vice President.”

I’d have to listen to it in context, but that sounds and awful lot like and endorsement for all intents and purposes
The base ousted Biden by refusing to donate after the debate showed us where Joe was at mentally.
Bernie, I love you. But I’m way way more excited for a 2024 Ticket with Harris as the front runner. You’re older too man. Please retire soon and get a new similar person in.
There is some right to be concerned though. The GoP is going to drag this out as fraudulent over the next few months and the supreme court could make a terrible ruling.
Agreed, but it can’t be helped now, can it?
That entirely depends on how broken the courts want to be
From what I heard they want to be broken beyond repair…
Bruh. Biden was a guaranteed loss. In a final act of clarity and humility, the man was able to restore hope in a hopeless situation. Fucking leave it alone and let’s run with this.
Sus on people who suddenly fuckin love Harris but need Bernie to step aside. Weird take imo
Bernie is still the goat

This sounda like Bernie is doing Kamala a favor by framing the conversation to reach additional voters. I’m not sure why anyone would see this in a negative light.
Hmm, I was kind of hoping for a Harris-Sanders ticket.
I was hoping for Sanders-Harris
I’m a big fan of Bernie’s policies, but I think it’s time we saw fewer old white men in the leading roles.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sanders, who had previously supported Biden’s reelection bid, expressed concern about the media’s role in pushing the President out of the race.
The Vermont senator’s hesitation to immediately endorse Harris stands in contrast to the wave of support she has received from within the Democratic Party.
When pressed about what it would take for him to endorse the Vice President, Sanders emphasized the importance of the upcoming campaign, highlighting critical issues such as climate change and economic rights.
Sanders pointed to disparities in American society, noting that “life expectancy for working-class people is 10 years shorter than it is for the rich.”
While expressing confidence that he will eventually endorse Harris, Sanders made it clear that he wants to ensure the campaign aligns with his vision for addressing the needs of working families.
Some Hillary Clinton supporters have argued that Sanders’ long campaign against her in the 2016 Democratic primaries and his perceived reluctance to unite the party helped Donald Trump defeat her in the general election.

Bernie…
The Squad are doing their absolute best to prove the point that reforming a party from within is generally a lost cause.
Sorry Bernie but honestly you’re too old too. Time to pass the torch old man.
Ok, Bye!
