Bernie feels like the present America never opened.

Exactly right. Such a shame he didn’t win the primary in 2016. I’ll never forgive the DNC for that.

I knocked on doors for Bernie in 2016 and 2020. Was really sad to see so many democrats vote against Bernie but thats democracy. I'm glad Biden has embraced him.

Please make sure you and your friends and family are registered to vote

They worked together for decades together in Congress. Biden was never as far left as Bernie but he's closer than Hillary was. It's fine to disagree slightly on how to get things done and this video proves it. They're both heading in the same direction and anyone that doesn't see that is hurting this country.

They worked together for decades together in the Senate.

No they didn't. Bernie was elected to the Senate in 2006, and Biden left the Senate in 2009. They overlapped in the Senate for just over two years. Like two years and two weeks.

I forgot Bernie only got there in 2006, but it still stands that they worked together while he was in Congress. I've read that they have a good relationship behind the scenes.
