While some of his hardcore followers might still have issues with supporting Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden?
Bernie Sanders does NOT…
In the last few weeks?
Sanders has gone out of way to convey a sense that he’s fine with Joe Biden….
Hillary Clinton was another matter….
The felling was mutual Clinton has revealed….
With the protest situation and Donald Trump actually being in office?
The Democratic campaign dynamic IS different this time…
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said he has “a better relationship” with presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden than he had with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Sanders, who was the No. 2 contender in each of the last two Democratic presidential primaries, told The New Yorker in an interview published Tuesday that he thinks he has a “stronger” and “closer” relationship with Biden because he’s known the former vice president for about 14 years.
“I think the difference now is that, between you and me, I have a better relationship with Joe Biden than I had with Hillary Clinton,” Sanders said. “And that Biden has been much more receptive to sitting down and talking with me and other progressives than we have seen in the past.”
The former 2020 contender said he chats with Biden on the phone, and if he requests a call, Biden’s campaign will set it up “within a day or two.”
Sanders said the former vice president has been “open and personable and friendly, but his views and my views are very different, in some areas more than others.” The Vermont progressive predicted Biden will be “rather strong” on a push for a new economy and said Biden wants to be “as strong as possible” on climate change….

It has been the police unions that have protected crooked cops for a long time and made it much harder for departments to fire them after offenses.
Something has to be done to change that.

I agree that police unions have protected crooked and sadistic cops. Their ability to do that has to be directly challenged. Police departments have received military equipment under the 1033 Program. Obama signed an E.O. in 2015 limiting the transfer of certain equipment to the police and Trump in 2017 rolled back Obama’s E.O.
