Sanders wins Utah in final presidential primary results

Mar 24, 2020

Excerpt:

SALT LAKE CITY — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders won Utah’s March 3 Democratic presidential primary with just over 36% of the vote, according to the final results released by the state elections office Tuesday.

Because Utah’s presidential primary was conducted largely by mail, many ballots were cast before the race shifted. But Sanders had been the big winner in Utah’s 2016 Democratic Party caucus vote over the eventual nominee, Hillary Clinton, and made a campaign stop at the Utah State Fairpark just before Election Day.

Sanders wins Democrats Abroad primary

Sanders won just under 58 percent of the vote, which included just under 40,000 Americans living abroad, and Sanders will be awarded nine delegates to the national convention over the summer, according to the release from the group. Biden won 23 percent of the vote and will take home four delegates.

Turnout was up 15 percent over 2016, Democrats Abroad said, for the group's largest-ever primary. In-person voting took place from March 3 through March 10 at sites around the world. Voters could also submit electronic ballots. Americans living in the United Kingdom accounted for the most voters (5,689), with Germany, Canada, France and Mexico rounding out the top five.

"The moderates may win this skirmish, but to build the majoritarian movement that will ensure victory in November they will need to accommodate party’s progressives. There is no other way forward"

UTLA: Bernie Sanders Staying in the Race is Crucial to Defeating Trump, Building the Society We Need

MARCH 21, 2020

Excerpt:

But, it is only March. The Democratic Party currently does not have a platform that addresses the short-term of how we get through the Coronavirus crisis, or the long-term of how we address the above chronic issues.

Bernie Sanders is the candidate who has most deeply addressed these issues, and how we need to re-imagine and re-construct our society – healthcare for all, strengthening health and all infrastructure, expanding unemployment benefits, ending under-employment, guaranteeing basic income for all, increasing unionization, ending the incarceration state, abolishing ICE, funding schools and social services, taxing the rich, re-allocating within an enormous military budget towards human needs, creating corporate accountability, winning comprehensive immigration reform, supporting green and life-sustaining industries, addressing homelessness, building free universal pre-school, protecting Social Security, and taking on rising household costs for families. It is for these reasons, last November, after a robust internal process at school sites and in regions, that the UTLA House of Representatives overwhelmingly endorsed Sanders.

The Democratic Party needs Bernie Sanders to stay in the presidential race right now. If he wins the nomination, this will be good in many ways. If he does not win the nomination, this crisis shows that his ideas must be foundationally embedded in the Democratic Party platform and plans. This will be a necessary disruption of the status quo in the Democratic Party and will give us a chance to re-construct our society based on the common good.

No matter who the nominee is, the actual movement around Sanders must be deeply included in platform development and plan implementation. As Sanders says, “Not me, us.” The fundamental truth that we need social movements to bring about the change we need will remain the same.

To end the Coronavirus crisis, and protect us into the future, we must re-construct society. Bernie Sanders and his movement staying in the race right now, and being deeply embedded in platform development and plan implementation, is critical to this re-construction process. It will start with defeating Donald Trump.
