Here are key items from the platform:

9 Radical Ideas in the Biden-Sanders ‘Unity’ Platform, Brietbart, July 9, 2020:

1. “Rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement … on Day One.”...

2. Shift the entire “fleet of 500,000 school buses to American-made, zero-emission alternatives” in five years....

3. “End cash bail.” ...

4. “Stop the practice of arresting children for behavior that ought to be handled in the principal’s office.”...

7. “Oppose private school vouchers.”...

8. Provide a “public option” toward universal health care....

9. End the border wall and “provide a roadmap to citizenship for the millions of undocumented workers.”... [That is, issue mass amnesty to the 20 million to 38 million illegal aliens residing in Amerrica.]

 

Joe Biden Joins Forces with Bernie Sanders and AOC in New Platform, The Heartland Institute, July 9, 2020:

On July 6, just two days after Americans celebrated the nation’s 244th birthday, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said, “We have an incredible opportunity to not just dig out of this crisis, but to fundamentally transform the country.”

Two days later, Biden released his plan to transform America in the form of a 110-page document titled “Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations.” Shortly after the document was released, Sen.

“Protecting Communities by Reforming Our Criminal Justice System”... To accomplish their goal of overhauling the system, the task force says, “We must start by preventing people from entering the criminal justice system in the first place.” In other words, we should stop arresting criminals....

This section also advises that we must “reimagine policing.” As stated, this reimagination would also include severe cuts to police departments, which parallels the ridiculous “Defund the Police” movement....

“Building A Stronger, Fairer Economy”: This section could easily be mistaken for The Communist Manifesto....

“Providing A World-Class Education in Every Zip Code”... ;By vital investments they mean, give teachers unions more money. There is not one mention of school choice in the entire document, except for eliminating vouchers and other education choice initiatives....

“Health Care Unity Task Force Recommendations”: In a nutshell, “The Task Force recommends Democrats meet this moment by guaranteeing free or low-cost health care coverage for every American, including by expanding Medicaid... “As a Task Force and as Democrats, we fundamentally believe health care is a right for all, not a privilege for the few. That is why we will also remove barriers to allow states to access federal funds to implement models that move toward universal health care.”

“Immigration Unity Task Force Recommendations”: Last but not least, the task force recommends, “We will work with Congress to reform our immigration system to provide a roadmap to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented... [That is, issue mass amnesty to the 20 million to 38 million illegal aliens residing in Amerrica.]
