Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said in an interview with NBC News that he will encourage progressive voters to still back Democrats on the ticket in November even if moderates are victorious in the primaries.
confirming rubio got him out of the senate so it’s hard for me to be mad about that because i’ve had coworkers i’d be like “yeah promote that guy to another division” to get away from him.
In a situation where a shithead will be promoted no matter what happens and another shithead will take their Senate seat no matter what happens, the question of what to do becomes one of optics and signaling defiance, voting for Rubio did noting except demoralize and confuse his base and damage credibility in the long term
“The lone voice of dissent” is a powerful propaganda tool and he gave it up because he wanted to go along, to delusionally get along
