He is consulting with his wife about their future.

If I need to consult my wife from a distance, I call her cell phone and discuss the situation. She is very wise, so I consult her often.

about his campaign because he's handling a "fcking crisis."

The federal government is poised to spend billions on relief packages. He really needs to be there to help ensure it doesn't wind up in the pockets of the Trump family and friends.

He's up in Vermont doing video round tables promoting himself. BriBri and Sirota and the gang are still smearing Biden Biden. Nothing has changed.

That guy?

...now work on improving his record on being ineffective?

You surely have heard the cliché about how ninety percent of effective activism is showing up.

He's elected to serve the people of Vermont. If, at a time like this, he feels he has other priorities, he should resign his seat and let someone who actually wants to do the work have the position.

So yeah, "that guy."

BTW: I voted for Bernie in my state's 2016 primary. It's action (or inaction) like this that has lost him my support.

I get the message but the messenger sure has changed in my mind. Not very likable and the surrogates are atrocious.

BS not known for getting things done - or wise counsel.

His record in office is pathetic. This could be a moment for him to show his governance knowledge and skills but he’s AWOL.

Maybe he is too busy with his vanity campaign?

to guard his own health. None of the other Senators appear to be doing that, though. Or, perhaps he is simply avoiding answering inopportune questions. Who can say?

Really, though, at the Senate level and above, having an expansive ego is really an essential trait.

He doesn't seem to take the job of being a Senator very seriously.

as possible right now to work through this crisis. Hopefully, Sanders has a good reason for staying in Vermont, like maybe he’s sick or something. Then he could still Skype with his colleagues and get things done. But if he isn’t sick, he should be in Washington right now.

They elected him to be one of their Senators. If he is not willing to do his job, then he should resign the office.

Senators need to be at the Senate right now. It is that simple. We are in a state of emergency.

That’s the best I can come up with to be fair. Something he rarely is.

They're there. Their age seems irrelevant to me. (Note that I used three homophones in a row. Rarely do I get such an opportunity.)

Grammar aside, I was trying to not pick on Bernie. His skin is so thin and all.

yet again that his native state hates his guts. Get a clue, Burnie: look who is governor and think of whom you endorsed. Some actress. Every time Cuomo speaks, New Yorkers make up their mind. Voters will remember that when they brave the pandemic to make sure you're out of this race once and for all!
