Dear Bernie, your colleagues have to make the tough choices so that you don't have to.

We all know that, try as the Dems might, some sort of cop orate bailout is going to happen with this stimulus package but that's what happens when you are forced to negotiate with Satan. It's either go with some sort of bailout or no stimulus at all which the Republicans are okay with.

It's called making a tough choice, but not for Bernie. He gets to ride above it all on his personal, purity cloud, and his supporters will point to this and say, "see Bernie sticks to his beliefs while the corporate Dems sell out".

It's really hard asking a Dem to vote against money for our beleaguered health care system just so that they can pass Matt Taibi's purity test.

Bernie will NOT be our party's socialist nominee. But the gnashing of teeth, the wringing of hands, and the wailing and accusations of "rigged" and "hatred" will continue well into Biden's second term.

Legislating means living with things that you hate in order to get some of the things that you love. That's the simple reality of politics.

We'll see in the coming days if his absence is calculated so that he isn't involved in any kind with this bailout. He must think that voting for a bailout would enrage a part of his base and he'd be right. If that is the reasoning behind all this, then it's bad news because it means BS isn't dropping out anytime soon.
