Sen. Bernie Sanders claimed that Americans widely embrace a 'far-left agenda,' noting support for increasing the minimum wage and expanded healthcare.
The Vermont lawmaker made the remarks to CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday during an appearance on State of the Union, in which he also confessed that he'd be willing to join the Biden-Harris administration.
While speaking about implementing President-elect Joe Biden's progressive policies, Sanders recalled how their two teams met before the election to determine key issues.

What’s the real minimum wage?
$ 0
I explained to my uber-Liberal nephew and his wife about one proposed new tax that was mentioned last week - a 5% extra income tax on anyone who works remotely and does not need to go to an office - and they were fine it (they and their kids work remotely) “as long as the money went for something ‘good’ and not into the pockets of the politicians friends”.
What needs to be clear in interpreting their answer is they would be fine with such a tax if imposed by a Joe Biden or a Bernie Sanders but not if were proposed by a Trump. As they view the political world, a socialist would put such a tax to something “good” while a Trump would just be using it to line his friends pockets in some way. Translation: socialism = good, capitalism = corruption.
Why do people think that geriatric feeble old white guys, with noticable signs of dementia, are leadership material??
The next question is: “ Who would be their ‘second-in-command’?”
That’s the one you have to either watch, or remove, FIRST!
Sanders really wants to leave the senate and the VT governor will appoint a republican to fill the seat. They will wait to see what happens in the GA races but my bet is we win the senate and Berne joins the administration and we get another senator.
I made minimum wage at one time. Never planned on staying on it. One will deal drugs whether it’s $7hr or $15hr.
3 each the last news I seen and that’s the ones in their name who knows how many Beijing Biden has.
NEVADA still hasn’t been paying out UNemployment....Thousands of claims are still not fulfilled.
Notbad!
Socialism is good for the socialists
Socialism works...for the socialist politicians.
Vermont has a Republican governor. He isn’t very Republican but he could appoint a Susan Collins clone to keep us endlessly amused.
Absolutely! Your wages should be based upon your value. Too many believe in equity of value. This is what happens when economics is taught to a select group of people like the study of animal science for veterinarians.
