    Bernie has always danced around both sides of this issue. I still haven’t figured if it’s ideological or prudent statesmanship but the criticism is obviously valid. Yet another example of why you don’t idolize politicians, or build a political movement around one guy.

      Be interested to know why people are downvoting this. I generally like Bernie, but this is on point.

        This platform seems to have a lot of conflicts around “progressive” vs “leftist” politics
