Bernie Sanders Applauds Kamala Harris’s Economic Plan, Sees Potential for Strong Progressive Agenda

Marxist Bernie Sanders just loves Kamala Harris’ own Marxist proposals. Birds of a feather, as they say.

Senator Bernie Sanders, a figure synonymous with supposed progressive ideals, greeted Vice President Kamala Harris’s newly minted economic plan with a mix of fervor and cautious optimism on Friday. In a conversation that felt as much a passing of the torch as it did an endorsement, Sanders commended Harris for laying out what he described as a “strong progressive agenda.” But beneath the praise, there was a sense that Sanders sees this as just the beginning—a framework, perhaps, that will need to evolve in the heat of the campaign trail.

Sanders, reflecting on Harris’s rapid ascent after President Biden’s unexpected exit from the race, seemed both impressed and expectant. “For someone who’s only been a candidate for three weeks, she’s hitting her stride in significant ways,” he remarked to MSNBC’s Chris Hayes. Yet, there was an unmistakable hint that Sanders anticipates more—a deeper dive into the specifics, a bolder stroke of the policy brush. “She’s going to add more specificity,” he noted, as if the real campaign has yet to begin.

Harris, who now carries the torch of the Democratic ticket, unveiled her economic vision during a campaign stop in Raleigh, North Carolina—a city that felt the tremors of her ambitious proposals. Analysts quickly began crunching numbers, estimating that her wide-ranging plan—from slashing taxes to constructing a vast new supply of housing, to imposing a federal ban on price gouging—could demand a staggering $1.7 trillion. Yet, the price tag seemed almost secondary to the urgency Harris conveyed. With critics circling, accusing her of being light on policy, this plan emerged not just as a response, but as the first chapter of what her presidency could look like, should the voters grant her the keys to the White House.

Sanders, ever the champion of policies that aim to rein in corporate excess and lift up the working class, resonated with much of what Harris proposed. “Good policy is good politics,” he said, an aphorism that has long been his north star. He applauded her for tackling the exorbitant costs of prescription drugs and for promising to build millions of units of affordable housing—a dire necessity in a country where the gap between wages and living costs seems to widen by the day. “We’ve got to lower the cost of housing in America,” Sanders insisted, aligning his message with Harris’s vision, which now includes a broad swipe at the medical debt that shackles so many Americans and the ever-rising grocery prices that strain their wallets.

Yet, despite the alignment of their views, Sanders has not yet bestowed an official endorsement upon Harris. There’s a sense that he is holding back, perhaps waiting to see how she will handle the pressures ahead, much like he did with Biden. In the interim, he offers guidance, advising her to take pride in the achievements of the Biden administration while carving out her own path. Sanders’s influence is palpable; he urged Biden to stay in the race when others pushed him to step aside, and now, he seems poised to shape the narrative of Harris’s campaign as well.

In the wake of Biden’s departure, Sanders framed Harris’s challenge in stark terms: the path to victory against former President Trump is through the working people, those who feel abandoned and forgotten. “We need a presidential candidate who is ready to take on the big money interests and fight for working families,” Sanders declared, underscoring his belief that Harris could ignite a powerful movement if she stays true to these ideals.

Harris, alongside her running mate, Stolen Valor Minnesota Governor Tim Walz—a choice Sanders had supported—now stands on the brink of accepting the Democratic nomination. As the convention in Chicago approaches, the momentum behind her campaign is palpable. Many say it is actually fake as no one voted for her, no one likes this woman, yet the Un-Democrat Party just decided to name her as the anointed one. So Soviet Union like that it is getting scary with this party.  Fake Leftist Polls in swing states show her gaining ground, endorsements are flooding in by Democrat donors who do as they are told, and the campaign’s coffers are swelling with record-breaking fundraising hauls thanks to illegal foreign money funneled into fake accounts all over the U.S.  Project Veritas exposed the scheme, but our DOJ is Leftist and will not do anything about it. They encourage it all as they fear a real President of the United States like Trump..

But the road ahead remains unpredictable, and in this race, as in life, nothing is certain until it is done. The questions now hover in the air: Will Harris rise to the occasion, refining her policies and solidifying her stance? Will she, as Sanders hopes, capture the imagination of a nation weary of the status quo? Only time will tell. But my money is on Trump, as he seems at this point to be almost a guarantee when actual voters are taken into account.  But we know what games the Democrats have learned to play. They care not what voters think, and now have millions of fake votes via illegals, to add to their tens of millions of fake mail in ballots they are ready to deploy all over the U.S.   This election has freedom on the line itself, as the forces of darkness plan the total destruction of freedom, the Constitution and the entire West.  With such money and power and fakery lined up, the citizens of the U.S. can go to hell in their mind. THEIR Democracy is theirs to abuse and destroy the citizens of the U.S. at will.
