A lot to the countrys fortunes we bring you the stories and developments that are rapidly changing the world we live in. A slave for the Prime Minister boris. Counting the cost. For the coronavirus stop the world in its tracks the battle for the future of the u. S. Democratic party was in full swing. To clear options would eventually emerge from a pack of candidates with very different visions for the future of the country id like to see you. Senator from vermont drew crowds of thousands as he took on the democratic establishment and promoted policies to improve the lives of working people. To have. A lot more problems one night. At a critical moment the democratic establishment coalesce around former Vice President joe biden propelling a familiar face the front of the race. That was. Faultlines followed both candidates on the campaign trail in the 2 places that may have mattered most to michigan and South Carolina. Happens up here a lot i think about why that. Sanders has suspended his campaign and endorsed biden but Many Democrats remain concerned that the party is too fractured to defeat donald trump in the fall i dont consider Bernie Sanders part of the Democratic Party because his last season and a punch bowl right and his supporters i dont see is furthering what i understand the Democratic Party to be they want to change the Democratic Party i believe joe biden candidacy itself is the middle finger to my generation i offered your generation and i will not be voting for job i didnt give me over the. Last 2 weeks the Democratic Party has ever been this divided not in my lifetime ive been to 65 years and ive been involved in politics but ive never seen the country in the shape that its in. Charleston South Carolina was the site of the 10th debate since the democratic primary began in 2019. That. A Diverse Group of contenders was now reduced to 7 white candidates including 2 billionaires and no no no like the. Following victories in New Hampshire and nevada Bernie Sanders enter the debate as the clear front runner. There were even going to support some who say such democratic socialist or somebody who has a long history of all these legal who was experienced we didnt hear a list of really do not think it was just im daniel marrons and i cover politics for huff post ive spent the last few years reporting on how democrats have responded to don. Trump selection. The party has largely splintered into distinct lanes. Bernie sanders has led the progressive way pushing medicare for all to issue free college and a Green New Deal to solve the climate crisis. The moderate wings main argument has been electability that joe biden can put together the coalition of voters democrats need to be donald trump for a very strong person had a time before john going to top through to the some progressives believe the influence of big money is a defining feature of the conflict within the party and they criticize the democratic establishment reliance on wealthy donors the moderate wing defectively can produced by big money and it says that business really is kind of the engine of the American Economy and democrats need to be a crow growth kind of probusiness party in order to win over a you know collect enough Corporate Cash to then be able to win over these media and voters that they that they believe exist. Moderates in modern day are less literally means reliance on foreign fighters less and so what has become of me if you called yourself a moderate what does it mean as a lot i dont care and about the substantive outcome of bills and legislation i will settle for some middle ground for pretty much friends lies. Another fundamental disagreement is which lane can attract more undecided voters is a lot of moderates think that you need milk toast or weak sauce in order to attract people who are swing voters and the truth is swing voters you know in order to vote period and want someone who is take up the system on behalf of the families and if you have to like joe biden his core brand is cutting back room deals with corrupt politicians like much of panel or corporations as possibly our worst put forward against outcrop we might ironically see the outsider mantle to the most corrupt and becoming president ever. Going to need 2020 South Carolina campaign would end in divorce or representative i think. The arab. Was. In. The we were. Will rule the rule was it. Would as the United States i know the power of the one do not underestimate. Run for president in unison. That using everything penn state representatives has drawn inspiration from the Bernie Sanders campaign they have already moon. Through. The Insurance Companies the Drug Companies the. Military industrial complex. Where one person you see are willing to stand up against of rationing and stand up against billionaires and even against the system and the elites government regardless of which party or side of the aisle theyre on so i think he embodies a lot of thing that really we need and i dont mock or seems to be saying. Editions of his political or as a pastor and role but baptist church. He sees a Spiritual Connection to the social justice agenda promoted by centers. Im reminded of the song right at the sad. 7 part. Of what i am saying that what stan wilson isnt shown to me is that he had one in generally careful but we stood with that as a scripture on jesus declare that we all should be and that we should be concerned with the least of these we must 1st talk about compassion and discuss it as it differentiates itself but toys simply. A man ive seen when i genuinely care or. When those who have been left out those little marginal out there with will be raised belfour turn up at all but those whove been chewed up and spit out by the system those are the people there when i hear him standing up and those are the people that hes fighting for those are the people who he saying were going to give them a fighting chain. After losing the 1st 3 states in the primary joe biden staked his comeback on a big victory in South Carolina. He relied on support from black voters often emphasizing his close relationship with former president barack obama not only was he a Vice President but he was a friend he was. A champion of the president. Wants him as a High School Teacher and longtime democrat who is backing joe biden some of her former students run this barber shop in north charleston. And barber shops in hue thats where the political discussions happen you know school. Home on mr tim this move have you decided whether or not you today are now. Ive been doing politics for a minute we lost so many voters like you melissa says Younger Voters are less attached to joe bidens like to see his Vice President and more open to sanders ideas. You know to marry a lot of us lose a home you know. Bernie sanders think is a magical stuff. I want to get a manager of but like i say we go get money you know to me like. If you can do the stuff he say he will do he got me there is a divide theres a generational divide thats real younger africanamericans want more they want policies they want student loan really they want legalization of marijuana but those older voters. Im sticking with by. And haslam going for. Election day voter turnout searched passing the record set by barack obama in 2000 and. One South Carolina by almost 30 points and claimed more than 60 percent of the black vote according to exit polls time at the site somewhere and so we dont have to worry about a proper convention and thats important variable a man who restore the goodness of this this this and take us the way this country can be theres a turn over monarch. The one who i knew who. Was. Taking. The democrats want to nominee whos a democrat was most americans dont want the promise of revolution they want more the promises they want results was up on a victory tonight nation sensation unity can the Democratic Party most of its base a Little Something of what theyre looking. At the case that the democratic establishment respondents abidance blog victory moderate candidates people are judging amy club which are dropped out and endorsed him giving him momentum just when he needed it if they had stayed in the race super tuesday looks extremely different you likely have senators winning massachusetts minnesota and then pretty soon you know coronavirus shot. Down the primary and reshapes it around issues of solidarity so that you know that they really had. A very brief window to make their escape the story of the night does seem to be. The former Vice President so he is projected to win. The biden went on to win 10 out of 14 states on super tuesday he sees the delegate lead becoming the undisputed front runner in the race as joe biden swept states for super tuesday if you look at the coalition of voters it is africanamerican voters and suburban women and these are the coalitions of folks who lead to large victories in 2018. Resign or partitioning it lobby reform on the ballot for november 2020 ok lonnie scott thinks back to the 22 midterm elections when democrats won swing districts with more moderate candidates thank you so much hes a progressive activist in michigan was supporting a Lisbeth Warren but shifted to biden following super tuesday thank you so much as. The way that i look at these arguments is who is going to perform with the base and who is going to encourage the folks in the Democratic Base to turn out. Why. We refer to him here as uncle joe he is i guess i would say like comfort food for some people he is the devil that you know in the way he was there with barack obama and has been doing work as a Public Servant for a really long time. I dont think hes as progressive as i am i dont think that his policies are as liberal as i am but i do find him as someone that i am fine with voting for in november and someone that i can justify to myself and to my family that thats who we voted for to take on donald trump. Oh my god ive got to tell. You oh lord daddy that was. Brotherhood. Man. Yeah it was. It was. Hoping to make a final stand Bernie Sanders canceled events elsewhere and focused intensely on the state of michigan. During his 2016 run sanders defeated Hillary Clinton here in the primary. His victory foreshadowed her narrow loss to donald trump that november. If sanders could repeat the feat it would revive his campaign and prove once again that he could win in a battleground state. I am whats called a stage at home people who want to volunteer to canvass for Bernie Sanders reports to my home 72 hours before election day a group of Bernie Sanders supporters gathered at lincoln parents home just outside detroit these volunteers are fueled by anger at the suffering around them and the corrupt political system they blame for it but theyre excited by sanders reliance on small donations as opposed to big checks from wealthy donors theres really here in a minute were going to be getting to the crucial work of building a movement but i want to know why interviewer here what youre fighting for a lot of people like dont get paid time off and i think that right now what were experiencing with the crown of i. Everest is certainly going to why medicare for all is crucial this one percent their tentacles are affecting everything theyre exploiting groups of people around this country just to make more money and i really believe that bernie wants to fix this from a systemic standpoint getting another you know milk toast democrat as the competition is not going to drive people to call anyone to the left of ted cruz a socialist so and we need to make sure that we dont water down our beliefs and spier nobody and let trump be guided and the general election that as what will happen if we put biden cord for the general election so much of joe bidens recent surge has been based on the idea that hed be the best at taking on donald troll but you dont think so absolutely not. Joe biden represents the part of the establishment that sent people to the polls to vote what voting for donald trump hes the politician that voted for nafta and was really behind the t. T. P. And other trade agreements that harm our country he represents why manufacturing plants are closed down he represents the Health Care Industries of pharmaceuticals making so much money at our expense while were drowning in you know medical bankruptcies i i cant support that. The night before election day joe biden fans lined up her rally outside Renaissance High School in northwest detroit people we spoke to here didnt think sanders could defeat donald trump in the general election and mark the man for what hes trying to do but burning he talks a lot of your gas and it sounds good to the ear but the bottom line comes now when the rubber hits the road theres no free lunch what you think a moderate candidate is the best person to run against donald trump i think joe biden thats the right candidate i think i know that hes paul to other primaries probably republicans who are unhappy with the trumpet ministration i know he has a lot of support from independents he obviously has a lot of support from democrats and i think thats a recipe i dont think any candidate is going to ultimately win the presidency with just their party base was. You have to invest more in the slope of america. Here is the best word to bring dignity back to that office was that of course it is one person that persons name is joe biden was. We need on whose trust truth will reassure e leadership and look and thats why if im given the honor to be president i promise you i will provide to the nation was. Was true before biden could finish a stump speech the protests broke out in the crowd all right was he would be 100. 00 a black social Justice Group and the Sunrise Movement a youth led Climate Action group interrupted the proceedings the Sunrise Movement later said he wanted to highlight bidens quote failure to embrace a bold climate agenda. The reason that we use those tactics is because of those learnings from history about how change happens it doesnt happen when you continue with business as usual it happens when you disrupt business as usual. The big easy reason why you cant declare bankruptcy for stupid joe biden has a new trading on his Climate Change record i mean there are a lot of things in bidens platform that i would love to see move a little bit farther left i would love to see him take a stronger stance on rejecting the role of big money in our politics his climate what form could use some real work it needs more Environmental Justice language and provisions. Hey are you voting for anything or. Just talking about nato augur well horton is 17 years old are you voting for barney today. Night and the political lead for the end or the Sunrise Movement where you are and its apparently are devoted to god so that sunrise advocates for a Green New Deal which is a vision for the future includes rapidly decarbonizing our economy and putting millions of people to work in the process and could high paying union jobs my biggest concern with biden is the nominee hes a guy who promises a return to normalcy and a lack of you know Sweeping Change but rather favoring like an incremental approach and i dont think that message resonates with a lot of young people right now where you have sown i. Was starting. To think the Democratic Party takes young people for granted yeah i think after this election cycle i kind of do polling across the board has shown that young people are overwhelmingly in favor of progressive ideas and i havent seen a really meaningful effort from the Democratic Party to. To have further left and to adopt some of those progressive ideas and who theyre backing as a nominee i hope that people will be energized enough by feticide to be total trump that they show up anyway and that could very well be the case but it is a concern i want to hear you say with a i knew it. Was somebody from the right now was somebody the was somebody bidens victory margin for the state with 17 points sanders than when a single county he failed to win among the rural and working class white voters who supported him here in 2016 what are you feeling right now on frustration frustration were seeing a generational divide where the youth vote is 100 percent behind bernie and were trying to clean up the mess that the boomer generation has left us and they dont want to face that fact so this for historic and betrayal of our generation and all future generations theres rightly i hope their grandkids forgive them because i know i wont hundreds of thousands of peoples lost jobs to iraq because of the policies sold by advocated for joe biden voted for that every single last year we are currently spending 250000000. 00 a day on war and were not even at war no one is attacking us i think that there are a lot of people who are voting for any who are not at all interested in a joe biden presidency or one of them. Im undecided but i know that right now im not seeing anything from biden that makes me believe that a vote for him would be much different than about which i have and that makes me very sad to say. As the coronavirus pandemic escalated in the United States public campaigning came to an end. Behind in delegates and recognizing the gravity of the crisis sanders decided to endorse joe biden for president. The decision and to the hopes of many progressives that the Democratic Party could fundamentally change and emerge as a bold voice for the left. Electability its been the thing that has defined the democratic primaries for decades but never to the extent that it manifested itself this time this notion that democrats were at an existential crossroads that if they didnt manage to defeat donald trump that the country as they know it vanishes and that it wasnt just the threat to the United States but the actual threat to the entire world and so that put a burden on the thinking of democratic primary voters that weighed them down all all the way through. Move the crisis taking place right now with the waters one might think that in the midst of the Major Health Care crisis the president of United States would use something really dark its not a research its not true he is here in South Carolina no one reason. This rock the democratic primary thats why hes the obvious volunteer understanding of the way our country is now and how fundamentally much of it is broken for take the for war in class and war or in dollar top is not the ultimate cabarets or the ultimate initiator for us to fundamentally transforming change government how it works with what or i dont know when the time means and what the trigger will be. I kind of already had a feeling that it might not go our way michigan but just kind of surface like a beacon for me of the fact that this movement doesnt depend on Bernie Sanders success even though hes done so much for it what is the Progressive Movement go from here. I dont know how to answer that with certainty either i think weve got to keep fighting we need to be strategically Holding Joe Biden and other. Centrists to come into play accountable to adopting some progressive policies and. Doing so in a way that doesnt jeopardize our shot at winning the presidency so thats going to be a tricky line to walk and i think we absolutely have to walk.
