For the Democr­atic Party, Bernie Sander­s remain­s an outsid­erBernie Sanders’ decision to quit the US presidential race this past week has come as a big blow to many American voters who espouse progressive values. Sanders was let down once again by the Democratic Party, which evidently still considers Sanders’ “socialist” ideology being unfeasible to win the 2020 presidential race. While the Democratic Party seemingly employs progressive rhetoric, it has firmly adopted a much more centrist agenda. Despite his popularity, however, the Democratic Party remained uncomfortable backing a candidate who they thought was just too radical. Now that Sanders has withdrawn from the race, president Obama has also endorsed his former vice president (Joe Biden).
