Bernie Sanders can still influence this race. Here is how.

Bernie’s supporters still have a chance to influence this race, but they need to give Biden a reason to listen first.

Bernie Sanders has been the de facto leader of the Democrat party since 2015. In fact, the Independent socialist from Vermont has probably had more influence on politics during that time that anyone not named Donald Trump.

During a presidential campaign that has spanned half a decade, Sanders broke records. Within 24 hours of his announcement to run this cycle, he raised $6 million. In one day. That’s a $250,000 an hour. During the four quarters of 2019 he raised $18.2m, $18m, $25.3m, and $34.5m respectively. Each quarter, the campaign had the largest haul for any candidate in the Democrat field.

He (sort of) won the Iowa Caucus, he won the New Hampshire Primary, and he dominated the Nevada Caucus. He also paved new ground when he became the first Jewish politician to win a presidential nominating contest in New Hampshire 2016.

And that is not to mention his historic achievements in the Senate.
