But I think the Democratic Party needs to take note of the fact that Bernie Sanders frequently still wins over a quarter of the vote in our primaries long after he suspended his campaign and backed Biden. That's a lot of people going to the trouble to participate in a presidential primary to vote for someone other than the presumptive nominee now that the nominee no longer in any doubt.

It's cool, no one is challenging Joe, he will become our leader. But Biden's VP pick should give a nod toward the aspirations of younger and frequently more progressive voters who did not flock to his side initially. That will help us enter this election season firing on all cylinders.
