Whoever is still claiming that Bernie doesn't speak truth to power anymore hasn't been paying attention for the last month or two. Better late than never to return to being the chief advocate for what the people wants but most of Washington doesn't! ✊️

Whomever is still claiming that Bernie doesn’t speak truth to power anymore

Who ever claimed that? It's essentially been the man's entire career. If he wasn't publicly speaking up early enough in this case, I'm sure it's because he was bending ears behind the scenes.

Not arguing with you, just sort of aghast that anyone (magas excepted - but we expect their opinions to be trash) would try to claim he's not a true servant of the people.

A SHITLOAD of people.

True. I didn't say they were right, just that they were saying it.

No doubt about it.

Agreed, though I'd add Neoliberals and people who don't have any ideals of their own but still like discussing politics for the tribalism and the mud slinging. Of course, there's significant overlap between these groups..

You know how neoliberals and their propaganda machine be..
