"...amid an emerging public health crisis – the case for Bernie’s “not me, us” politics should have played strongest on the national stage. If anything might have made a broad-appeal case for Sanders' platform, coronavirus was it.

Yes, the coronavirus is political. Sanders presumably didn’t make more of the issue because his staff knew that anyone who dared to raise the point would be accused of “cynically politicizing a crisis”. But honestly, in a country with no federal sick leave mandate and no integrated healthcare system, is there anything more political than a public health emergency?

Coronavirus proves that “I got mine” politics takes even its victors only so far."
