Bernie's spiteful cadre are praising Trump as flanking from the left and talking about political realignment. Now, they're dumb, but not that dumb. This is spite. They don't care about kids in cages, constant ICE raids, separating families, DACA, protecting the vulnerable, or UHC

Because Trump is the death of all that. In the midst of the pandemic, Trump is in court trying to kill ACA & throw people off Food Stamps, but because he talked about an idea that came from Democrats, suddenly he's flanking from the left.

To do this, they have to erase @KamalaHarris' LIFT Act proposed in 2018 to give families $500/month from now on, not as a response to a pandemic, but as a way to lift people up out of poverty. That's $6000 per year vs. Trumps $1000 once, but he's flanking from the left.

More to the point, here is the US House Financial Service Committee Proposal. This is the the work product of House Democrats from a committee chaired by Maxine Waters. Bernie's Bros excel at erasing the work of Black women.
