Here's my view on President Joe Biden and healthcare [View all]

If he is president he will sign whatever healthcare bill is passed by Congress.

Same is true for prison reform, environmental legislation, minimum wage, or any other progressive platform idea.

The problem is not getting a Democratic president to sign legislation.

The problem is getting progressive legislation passed by both the House and the Senate.

That's what we should focus our energies on.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
