>>1461436I like Bernie more because Biden wants to operate and expand Amtrak and rail transport in the current parameters that is operated (PPP heavy, Amtrak non-competitive with buses, Red states will override good projects, etc). A GND platform would, ideally, open up more funds for intercity/intracity rail networks and give local government more flexibility with transportation funding. I fear Biden will concede Amtrak to the Republicans for the sake of feel-good "bipartisanship" (concession doesn't necessarily mean elimination). Also, I'd hope Sanders would push for HUD to open up money for the development of more non-profit/limited profit housing, particularly in regions where there's a housing crunch (NYC, DC, LA, SEA).
But, even as a Sanders supporter, I can read a poll. Barring some unforeseen circumstances, Bernie isn't going to have enough delegates on a first ballot to become the nominee. He should still stay in, but at this point, Biden is probably going to be the nom. At best, we can hope for something similar to Obama TIGER grant money or a minimal gas tax increase. But I don't see a Biden administration being something that would actually support anything /n/ actually wants.
