I also think he should not run again. But I'll never understand how people can just brush off decades of good work, alongside his longtime colleagues in the Democratic party, for decades. Like co-sponsoring the Medicare-for-All bill with Kamala Harris as an example.
But, hey, let's take the time, when we could be focusing on fighting Trump with Sanders and Democrats, to make a list of every past uncomfortable statement he's said in reference to the Democratic party. Some I'm sure were said in anger as well in moments of frustration with foot dragging on issues. Most was simple honest criticism. But lordy help us, we're too fragile to take criticism by anyone. We're perfect.
HE'S WORKING FOR THE GOOD GUYS FOLKS!!!
