It's way past time.

He can build his ideas into the policy first hand!

We need Bernie now, more than ever in the Senate!

Let's take this opportunity to build the country, we've been waiting for.

A man who will not compromise cannot have a voice there.

A vote he has, and hopefully he will be present to cast it when the work of hammering out something that can pass the Senate and meet Speaker Pelosi's approval is done.


"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

So are you implying they have no voice, that I have no voice because I agree with his policies.

Okay, your opinion.

can't find common ground with his colleagues to achieve a positive goal. It's always his way or no way so nobody will work with him.

No one in the Senate asks themselves, what does Sanders think of this? He has no weight in the complex negotiations which take place while important legislation is shaped prior to reaching the floor for a vote yea or nay. His impotence there is his choice, not a law of nature. Though effectiveness may require him to make choices his nature is incapable of. That, again, is his problem, and the problem of those who vote for him. Not mine. Nor does my pointing this fact out alter the situation one iota. You might as well say someone who remarks that it's raining causes water to fall from the sky.

Regarding governments roll in peoples' lives, and its responsibility toward the citizens.

Bernie brought that conversation along with Elizabeth Warren to the people years ago. Policy has been shaped and created because of their voices.

As old as government itself.

Between Professor Warren and Sanders there is no comparison at all. Professor Warren actually has achieved some reform, establishing an office dedicated to the protection of consumers from financial fraud. Sanders has no positive achievement to match that. Nor will he ever have.




"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed.

at home in Vermont...trying to ...I don't even know...what. He should have conceded and should be at the Senate right now.

Why is he in Vermont and not in DC...representing his voters?

Even though he lost in a landslide isn't it customary for the candidate to speak to his supporters that evening. Twice now Bernie has high tailed it back home without addressing his supporters on election night. This doesn't look good and comes off as tacky and uncaring.

As for him staying in the race that shouldn't surprise anyone. He's not capable of taking the high road and doing what's best for the party's nominee. Instead of trying to push Biden he should be in DC trying to influence the legislation that is being written right now.

He should get out of the way and let Biden focus on Trump. And Sanders should focus on Trump, too.

sake, but for the guy who will be running against Trump (and has the most experience in pandemic) to show how mistaken the administration is and to present sane plans. Biden is contacting leading Dems, has developed a sound proposal, and has an expert advisory in place now.

No distraction needed! Bernie still trying to suck all the air out of Biden’s sails with his stupid concerts is just that.

Meanwhile his supporters are calling for Biden to die on Twitter. Still threatening to go for Trump and saying Biden is sundowning.

Let the sick ones become Trumpsters when Bernie bows out while the majority of actual concerned progressives join in working to oust Trump and to get the real medical facts out there.

Biden is a great vehicle for both.

Bernie is needed in the senate.

" T'were best done quickly."

Election campaigns are not about getting people to think.

Election campaigns are about getting people to rally into a tribal mass under one banner, in the greatest number possible. This is not an intellectual exercise, it is an emotional one. The voter must be brought to identify him or her self with the candidate. This is especially true in Presidential campaigns, where the person elected becomes the embodiment of the country, to which the voter is devoted and loyal, and draws a portion of his or her identity from.


"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

"Progressives" need to debate the future of their movement. This taint will be on them for years to come.

I suggest Elizabeth Warren's approach. Revolution from within the system.
