    I have a crazy idea: perhaps you should ask him about Joe Biden's 40 year crusade to cut Social Security and Bernie's own efforts to protect Social Security -- after all, it is a program that millions of human beings rely on for survival.

    Biden worked with segregationists to block school integration, he pushed mass incarceration, he used grotesque "welfare queen" language to cut aid to poor families, and he pushed to slash Social Security. That record is being exposed:

    BREAKING: Enviro groups begged Dems to help stop Trump's trade deal, but today was the only 2020 Democrat to vote against it. Every other leading 2020 Dem backed it -- and gave a big gift to Trump & his fossil fuel donors.

    Almost all of the 2020 Democratic candidates helped Donald Trump pass this trade deal. They gave Trump and the fossil fuel industry a huge win. was the only leading presidential candidate to stand against it. That should tell you everything you need to know.

    The last Democratic nominees whose views approached Bernie Sanders' won a scant 30 electoral college votes—combined—and lost the popular vote by 35M votes.…

    I am proud to endorse for President of the United States. After three years of Trump, Wisconsinites want someone who they can trust with values they share. Bernie never stopped fighting for working families & I am joining him in the fight to defeat Donald Trump.
