Just look at how much the party platform has shifted, even if you're talking about going back to 2008. Look at the way that Joe was quick to adopt a number of Elizabeth Warren's specific plans to address several issues, and it would be intellectually dishonest to fail to acknowledge that her candidacy was the most direct "spin-off" of Bernie's 2016 campaign.

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