One is a presidential candidate. The other is the center of an ideological movement. There is little doubt that Bernie's "movement" is all about Bernie. The same is not true of the coalition that Biden represents.

The fact that it's all about one person is part of the problem. If the progressive movement wants to accomplish something, they need to decentralize.
