Exactly. And I admire him tremendously for it. Which is why his stance on this is disappointing. Bernie is a canny strategist, and I imagine his calculation is that this fight costs too much politically now. But the hedge will hurt him in the end, as it did Corbyn.https://twitter.com/TreeHouseReal/status/1232758589959262208 …

The Bernie coalition is deceptively fragile - or at least Sanders himself thinks so. He's made compromises on immigration, guns and media sideshows like Russiagate and impeachment that he never would have before.
The aggravating thing is that the most effective coalition in terms of votes would ignore these leftish pet projects altogether and acknowledge the real strengths of Trump's overall strategy.
