we'll see i guess. didn't work that well last time the dnc screwed bernie over and went full establishment - they lost against the worst president in american history, lol.


I think the consensus is that Bernie screwed himself this time around. I don't think the DNC "screwed" him last time but I know a lot of people feel that way so I can accept that perception is a contributing factor.

How would you feel if Biden appointed him to be Sec of HHS?

Bernie Sanders said Tuesday that it would be “irresponsible” for his loyalists not to support Joe Biden, warning that progressives who “sit on their hands” in the months ahead would simply enable President Donald Trump’s reelection.
...

Sanders said his supporters have a simple choice now that Biden has emerged as the presumptive nominee: “Do we be as active as we can in electing Joe Biden and doing everything we can to move Joe and his campaign in a more progressive direction? Or do we choose to sit it out and allow the most dangerous president in modern American history to get reelected?”

He continued: “I believe that it’s irresponsible for anybody to say, ‘Well, I disagree with Joe Biden -- I disagree with Joe Biden! -- and therefore I’m not going to be involved.’”


Good for Bernie. He's absolutely right of course.
