You take virtually no risk by advocating or criticizing him.
You take risk by advocating Bernie. You take risk by criticizing Clinton.

I would have regarded it brave if he had advocated Bernie on countless instances where he has been wronged in this election cycle.
I would have called it brave if Warren criticized Clinton for her enormous ties to (wrong) special interest groups.

I don't find this impressive at all.

obviously he felt strongly about this. Sometimes people of great conscience
cannot remain silent. Evil flourishes when great men do nothing.

Good to see you again Jon.....Snow.....I mean Stewart.....
