      1. What should Bernie do? It's a murky question but I think one way forward is to realize that the big battle going on right now is in congress, not the primaries. There are emergency programs needed right now and Sanders is uniquely positioned to shape those.https://twitter.com/ddayen/status/1240330650416107520 …

      I'm agnostic on him staying in or not, but Bernie would still have unique power to influence response regardless IMO. He's a US Senator, has the biggest policy staff in the party, and controls a substantial chunk of the rank and file base. https://twitter.com/pblest/status/1240278203580780549 …

      2. Bernie's base isn't enough to win him the primaries but its still substantial (a third of primary voters), important for future of party (Latinos & a plurality of those under 45). He's a big voice in the party and now is the time for using that voice.

      3. The congressional Democratic leadership has been, um, less than inspiring. The emergency requires radical solutions and Sanders is best equipped to push them forward. Here's an example:https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1240310632794279938 …

      It's been estimated that the unemployment rate could hit 20% if we don't act boldly. A one or two time check isn't good enough—the government must tell every small and mid-sized business owner that we'll cover 100% of their payroll if they don't lay off anyone during this crisis.

          He didn't do so well with this in 2018. Backing only people who are part of your movement instead of candidates who can win.

          I gotta imagine that so many people in congress use his failed campaigns to ignore his efforts though. “The voters rejected his ideas, so we don’t need to listen.”

          This is a bullshit choice Sanders doesn't have to make As centrists love to say, "he can walk and chew gum at the same time"
