140. You seem confusd about his role

" and as outreach leader he should have been maybe outreaching."

I've seen others also make wild claims that Bernie Sander is Head of Outreach for the Democratic Party, and then complain about that, or the job he is doing. But that is not and has not been his role. As others are quick to point out, Bernie isn't a member of the Democratic Part, number one, and number two the Democratic Party has no such position. Bernie however is a member of the Democratic Caucus in the U.S. Senate. The Democratic leader in the Senate appointed Bernie Sanders to the position of
"Chairman of Outreach"
Bernard Sanders – (I – VT)

That is an internal leadership position on the leadership team of the Democratic Senate Caucus Here is a link that makes that clear: https://democrats.senate.gov/leadership/

His role has nothing to do with races for the House of Representatives. It is quite a leap to assert that Sanders had never heard of Ossoff, but it is not odd to assume that he may not have known a great deal about him much beyond the fact he was the Democrat seeking that seat. And the more I learn about that Congressional district the more I am convinced that with the electorate he is trying to appeal to the last thing Ossoff needs is for Bernie Sanders to trumpet what a progressive Ossoff is. There was a good discussion on AM Joy about that Sunday. You may notice that Ossoff skillfully deflects when he is asked whether or not he is a progressive.
