I’m the one blind to reality? You actually think Bernie had any sway over any one of the moderates who dropped out to give Biden the win? They were loyal to the Democratic Party, not Bernie, and certainly not to their principles, if truly they had any.
They’re ambitious and self-interested. Would Pete have turned down an offer of VP to stay in the race - and potentially still win the presidential nomination - I don’t think so
This gives the same energy as saying “it’s just business” after doing some heinous shit.
Don’t let idealism blind you to reality.
