Was as described above. And I think he was saying that to get people out in the general election, the campaign needed to be exciting.

So I thought he needed to say something that would get across the point that people may agree with Bernie on some things but they are voting for Biden because Bernie has never delivered on big promises.

About something constitutes much of an accomplishment from someone who for years has been in a position to build coalitions and get things done. I understand why you like him and respect what you see him as doing, but I think it is unfair to characterize legitimate criticism of him as disrespect.
