4. Disagree with this tired trope!

I completely disagree and I think it is time to drop the idea that Bernie had anything to do with Clinton’s defeat in 2016.

Bernie’s contesting the nomination of Biden in 2020 did not seem to hamper Biden’s election, did it?

One reason is that Biden embraced a good portion of the progressive agenda and Clinton did not, among the numerous errors she made in the course of a flawed campaign.

Also, no one other than Bernie campaigned more on her behalf other than herself and her running mate. He was number 3 campaigner
