Bye bye, Bernie: He's not fit to captain the Democratic ship if he can't stop chasing the great...

111. It is the fact

that Bernie has specifically chosen to campaign with Mello, while eschewing Ossoff, who is a progressive by every measure, that brings about the concerns voiced here.

It is true that Bernie gets more headlines by campaigning for Mello, however. In this respect, I find SBS to be very much like John McCain, who at least until 2008 would always begin his staff meetings by asking what action would get him the most headlines, thus helping to maintain his "maverick" label rather than really helping to advance any cause. I know this personally from an EXCELLENT source, btw. I can't speak for what is the case now.

If I were eligible to vote in this election, I would still choose the D, whether Bernie supported him or not. The D is wrong on this one - very important - issue but may possibly be inspired to grow.

At the same time, there is no question that Rs are wrong on EVERY issue! And women's reproductive rights is an issue on which those Rs in Congress are in lockstep.
