Warren and Sanders have most of the grass-roots energy in the 2020 campaign, most of the enthusiasm, and most of the ideas. Together, they lead Biden and every other so-called moderate Democrat by a wide margin in all polls.

This is why corporate and Wall Street Democrats are mounting a campaign to make Americans believe Warren and Sanders are “too far to the left” to beat Trump, and therefore “unelectable.”
Rubbish. Presidential elections are determined by turnout. More than a third of eligible voters in America don’t vote. They go to the polls only if they’re motivated. And what motivates people most is a candidate who stands for average people and against power and privilege.
Most Americans want to elect someone who’s on their side. The proposals put forward by Warren and Sanders would make the system work for everyone and alter the power structure in America, ending the stranglehold the wealthy and coronations have on our economy and politics.
It’s true that only one of them can be the Democratic nominee. But if the backers of both Sanders and Warren eventually come together behind one of them, they’ll have the votes to take the White House, and even flip the Senate.
Join me in signing the Progressive Primary Pledge & commit to fighting hard for your chosen candidate against the corporate wing, but not against each other.

Let’s make the most of our power in the Democratic primary & unite for a progressive President. act.democracyforamerica.com/survey/take-po…
