I agree. I just think the bigger decision is immediately protecting tens of millions of working people from soup lines vs holding out to try and topple a Goliath (corp GOP/Dems) that has grown over 40 years and won’t be toppled by @BernieSanders blocking bill for 2-3 weekshttps://twitter.com/matthewstoller/status/1243164323112980480 …

Replying to @JordanChariton @BernieSanders
Jordan, are you willing to name a single thing that Bernie and/or his campaign has done in the past -- I don't know, six months -- that was not just strategically wrong, but substantively wrong? (So not, "He didn't attack Biden hard enough.") Just curious.

Replying to @JordanChariton @BernieSanders
OK, it's just odd that so many people immediately launched into Bernie fanboy mode to cheer a false version of events related to Senate procedural votes. Maybe the online Bernie echo chamber is not super healthy or rational. Maybe his failed campaign should prompt some reflection
