(31,409 posts)Two icons of the progressive community, Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, are appearing together on Sunday for the first time to jointly pitch the candidacy of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
The event in Denver, Sanders said in an interview, will be an opportunity to make the case to the progressive community that it is absolutely imperative for [Republican nominee] Donald Trump to be defeated.
But Sanders, the runner-up in the Democratic primaries, said he will arrive with a secondary goal in mind: to rally like-minded voters around implementing the Democratic platform adopted at the partys convention in Philadelphia in July.
That, Sanders said, has to become the focus for progressives the day after the election.

Sanders acknowledged that there will be challenges turning the document into actual policy.
When you have an agenda that is as progressive as this .?.?. you obviously engender enormous opposition from the big-money interests, he said.
Sanders has taken to carrying around a copy of the platform with him, including to an appearance Friday night on HBOs Real Time with Bill Maher, where he displayed it to a live national audience.
