James, no matter who is the Democratic nominee, Bernie is right — this election has to be about defeating Donald Trump with a winning policy agenda that centers the working class and progressive priorities. We will organize and mobilize progressives to defeat Trump in November, but we can only do it with your grassroots support.
Bernie said recently that President Biden has not done enough to bring that agenda forward:
Donald Trump believes climate change is a hoax. Donald Trump wants to slash Social Security and gut Medicare. He wants to give more tax cuts to rich CEOs and giant corporations, while he and his rich friends watch working people struggle. Trump wants to get back into office where the right-wing Supreme Court has granted American presidents absolute immunity.
Whether it’s Biden or someone else at the top of the Democratic ticket, the message must focus on raising wages, protecting and expanding Social Security, improving Medicare, addressing the urgent crisis of climate change, strengthening abortion rights, and much more. We will fight for our progressive policies, to preserve democracy, and to keep Trump out of the White House.

Many Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill keep going back and forth on Biden, or give vague statements of concern or support. Who knows how much longer this will go on.
What we do know is that Bernie’s message is the correct one — a message that lifts up the working class and punishes corporate greed. It’s the only thing that can take on and defeat Trump along with the shocking and dangerous policy agenda laid out in Project 2025.
As Newsweek reported last night — Rep. Ro Khanna echoed Bernie’s message at an Our Revolution panel at Netroots yesterday, saying, "What's missing [in Biden's campaign] is not the correct pronunciation of every sentence, what’s most missing is a bold vision for 2024.” A bold vision he argued should include universal child care, free public college, ending fossil fuel subsidies, Medicare for All, and recognizing the Palestinian state, as 143 other countries have done.
On the panel, Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese did not mince words about the state of the race in 2024, “The bottom line is this — progressives are pissed — given both the political and policy dynamics of this contest. Progressives want to stop a return of Trump, but there's a serious deficit of confidence that Joe Biden is the vehicle capable of achieving that."
We need to ramp up our organizing right now, and we need our grassroots donors to pitch in TODAY to help us stop Trump from becoming a Dictator on Day 1. The summer months are notoriously difficult for fundraising, but it’s the time we’ll need your small-dollar contributions the most as we ramp up our work ahead of November.
Can you donate to our Swing State Fund right now to help defeat Trump? Our average donation is just $19.30. And for every $1 donated, we can call and text a voter in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, or another swing state five times.
When we organize, we win.
