Biden’s capitulation to the radical left was lauded by Sanders, who had previously argued that the presumptive nominee was too moderate on a number of key policy issues. “I think the compromise that they came up with, if implemented, will make Biden the most progressive president since FDR,” Sanders said following the release of the joint policy platform.
Sanders isn’t the only socialist who has recently joined Biden’s camp, though. Another Democratic socialist, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), has visibly shaped the presumptive Democratic nominee’s climate agenda, which calls for an additional $2 trillion in government spending over the next four years along with crippling regulations that would essentially destroy our oil and natural gas industries, putting millions of Americans out of work. AOC, who has successfully pressured other establishment Democrats to embrace the radical left’s approach to climate policy, will help to lead a team of far-left activists as co-chair of Biden’s climate task force.
According to a recent report by Axios, moreover, far-left Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s ideological influence over Biden is even greater than AOC’s.
