Bernie Sanders claims that Joe Biden has received a very strong mandate from the American people after the presidential elections. He made the absurd claim during an interview on CNN on Saturday. “I think he has a very, very strong mandate, Anderson. And I think if you look at the issues, one by one, do people think that healthcare is a human right? Are they happy with a dysfunctional healthcare system, which makes billions for the drug companies and the insurance companies, leaving 90 million uninsured or underinsured? They’re not,” Sanders said.

“Are they happy that tens of millions make starvation wages, ten, twelve bucks an hour? No, they are not. Do they think we have to deal with systemic racism in this country, immigration reform? Most people do. Most people do. Are they sick and tired of the growing gap between the people on top, and the billionaire class is doing phenomenally right now while so many of our people are struggling?” Sanders added.

Sanders, who tried twice to get the nomination of the Democratic party but lost, asserted that the American people want policies that address those issues. The Democrats have promised to enforce a lot of policies that can be very damaging to the United States. For example, Biden has promised that he would phase out the oil industry, which would mean job losses that could be in millions. They have also promised healthcare for illegal aliens which would be shouldered by American taxpayers.

But one of the first things which Biden might do when he does get into the White House is to push for a national mask mandate that would require all Americans to wear masks when going out in public. They might even push for requiring the wearing of masks while inside their homes. The Democrats might also enforce the lockdowns, which would further decimate small businesses.

Many of the policies that have been promised by Biden are in response to the demands from the far-left section of their party. They have also supported the calls for defunding the police, which will lead to a spike in crimes.
