1. I got a short and simple email from Bernie.

You mention crucial issues. I Heard Kamala and Tim press those points, plus the ones in the short message below.
A lot of people apparently weren't listening, or were put off by something (and voter suppression was enormous)

Bernie and AOC have been drawing enormous and enthusiastic crowds and have been setting up grassroots organizations in states.
Here:

People attending rallies in huge numbers are saying
YES to raising the minimum wage,
YES to expanding Social Security,
YES to guaranteeing health care as a human right,
YES to cutting the cost of prescription drugs,
YES to paid family and medical leave,
YES to equal pay for equal work,
YES to more affordable housing,
YES to making childcare and higher education affordable to all,
YES to taking on the existential threat of climate change.

And most importantly they are saying
YES to a government and an economy that works for all of us and not just the billionaire class and the Oligarchs.
