With Sanders’s significant defeat in Michigan, the Democratic race is effectively over. Now it’s very important for Sanders to draw the obvious conclusion and to concede, and for Biden to reach out to Sanders, and to find a way to include Sanders’ views, and thus his constituency, within the on-going frame of his Presidential campaign. And it now becomes incumbent on Sanders’ progressive supporters (as well as Warren’s) to commit to support Biden’s candidacy — and to use their organized and enthusiastic support to press some of their pressing issues, such as The Green New Deal and income inequality.
Our overwhelming concern must now be to defeat Donald Trump so as to be able to preserve whatever is left of our tatered democracy.
