Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Friday reaffirmed his commitment to electing Joe Biden president, but said the Democratic nominee’s victory in November would be followed by a “serious debate” about the direction of the country.
“We’re going to come together to defeat Trump,” Sanders told "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah on Friday. “And the day after Biden is elected, we’re going to have a serious debate about the future of this country, but it will be done within the framework of a democratic society.”
The Vermont senator’s remarks presage a coming push by progressives to wield more influence in the Democratic Party and within a potential Biden administration.
Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, posed the greatest challenge to Biden during the 2020 Democratic presidential nominating contest, amassing a series of early primary wins before eventually falling behind Biden in the delegate count and suspending his campaign in early April.
He endorsed Biden soon after ending his campaign and has since sought to boost the former vice president among progressive voters who may be reluctant to cast their ballots for a more moderate Democrat.
Sanders acknowledged his differences with Biden on Friday. But he said that unity among competing political factions — progressives, moderates and even conservatives — is necessary to stave off President Trump’s reelection.

Are you kidding??
Cranky old commie turds like Sanders will be hanging around forever...think Fidel Castro.
I have told the missus, the key to a long life is being a commie dictator.
Interesting that Sanders thinks that anyone can have a serious debate with Biden. The last six months have been about avoiding any sort of debate.
Exactly. We have three debates coming up this fall. Why can’t Joe debate it then?
They know Joe is a terrible candidate with failing mental health.
He is their useful idiot. The second he is no longer needed they will throw him under the bus like Cindy Sheean, the lesbian anti-gun student from FL, etc.
What an oxymoron! To campaign as a moderate, that is to deceive the country about one's true intentions only to govern as a radical, is hardly within the "framework" of a democratic society because the manner in which the people will truly be governed has never been put to them.
The remark demonstrates that Bernie Sanders and progressives in general will have no more respect for the legitimacy of a Joe Biden presidency than they have had for the legitimacy of the Donald Trump presidency. If we are electing a president and, God help us if it be Joe Biden, his policies are not up for a second debate or referendum done until progressives win a final election of their choice. Those policies are subject to the checks and balances of the federal Constitution but not to the hidden agenda of the deep state or a shadow radical leftist cabal.
The consequences of the progressive dismissal of the legitimacy of a Biden presidency is to commit the country to endless civil and political strife. In effect we will have a Regency rather than a presidency until one faction or another is able to seize control of Biden or remove him.
Within months the left will begin eating its own. The country itself will be the main course on the menu.
Dear Bernie,
You will get to have your “serious debate” sometime after the 30th day of NEVER. = “Crazy Uncle Joe” is going NO PLACE but down to HUMILIATING DEFEAT.
(The night of my BD/03NOV20 will be a BLOODBATH for the LEFTISTS.)
Yours, TMN78247
I would like to know Bernie’s definition of a “debate”. It will be something like Bernie talks and you obey.
It would be interesting to watch two fools debating......
On how we lost the election
If the Progs steal a win for Biden, it’s war.
In 1776, 30% of the population fought against the British. Our numbers are higher than that now, and the Communists are far less ready for combat than we are - we are the combat vets and hunters in this nation.

If they win they will use the police and armed forces against us. They will begrudgingly obey since it’s probably the only job available after a Biden win (yuk). People must believe, these fricken dems will come after the right. Re-education camps, fired from jobs, property taxed into oblivion, woke mobs roaming the streets. BUT...I don’t think Biden has a snowballs chance in hell of winning, America gets another 4 years.
What house is Bernie angling to obtain this time?
"We're going to come together to defeat Trump," Sanders told "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah on Friday. "And the day after Biden is elected, we’re going to have a serious debate about the future of this country, but it will be done within the framework of a democratic society."
Yo, Bern-out: The election IS the debate, dunce!
Sanders will be long dead when a Biden gets elected to the WH
Maybe someone needs to take Bernie aside and ask him how he defines 'democratic'.
Maoist or Stalinist
