“If you look at Joe Biden’s goals and Bernie Sanders’s goals, they’re not that different, from a forty-thousand-foot level,” Obama said. “They both want to make sure everybody has health care. They want to make sure everybody can get a job that pays a living wage. They want to make sure every child gets a good education.”
Obama discussed his former vice president’s campaign during an interview with The New Yorker writer Evan Osnos at the former president’s home in Martha’s Vineyard this Summer.
Obama’s comments challenge the Biden campaign’s efforts to combat the argument from President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign that Biden is just as much as a leftist socialist as Sanders.
Obama acknowledged that the current climate of the Democrat party had swung left as part of a calculated appeal to their political coalitions.
“What I think the moment has done is to change some of those calculations, not because necessarily Joe’s changed, but because circumstances have changed,” he said.
Obama notably did not encourage Biden to run for president in 2016 and was even skeptical of him running in 2020, according to several reports.
The more left-wing of the Democrat party continues struggling with Biden’s attempt to reach out to moderates.
Supporters of Sanders criticized the Democrat National Convention for hosting Republicans like John Kasich (R-OH) and other aging establishment moderates to speak rather than rising stars in the more leftist wing of the party.
After the primary, Obama worked to unify the party, acknowledging in his endorsement of Biden in April that the Democrat campaign would be different.
“To meet the moment, the Democratic Party will have to be bold,” he said, adding that his 2008 campaign would look different if it was run today.

There seems to be a refusal in certain political circles known as the Swamp to blame the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) for deliberately using the Wuhan virus to create an economy here which would prevent Trump get reelected. Letting that happen will create problems we don’t need. Time we point out the loss of employment and the corruption involved.

I wish our side would stop pushing this idea, its simply not true. furthermore, the dems are pushing this as true so that the progressive left will come home. Right now there are huge numbers of disinterested leftwing voters... stop trying to convince them there is no difference between Bernie and Biden.
Joe Biden has goals?
Except that Biden wants them to continue to be unemployed or working in fast food joints, arrested and convicted frequently (under Harris’ control).
Joe Biden’s goals are what he is told that they are.
He will be the biggest puppet president ever.
Because they desperately need to Bernie voters, that’s why he said it.
He says that like it’s a good thing.
Everybody in the whole world, since borders are racist.
