      How would I know? The point is that the best thing he can do with his position in the Senate is to look forward. He’s not the type to pursue his individual interests at the expense of the cause.

      This is something a lot of my compatriots on the left don’t seem to get. Good activists don’t make good politicians, and good politicians don’t make good activists. We need both. Bernie is a politician, and I’m not.
