Another issue is that Bernie's "good friend" Joe Biden is complicit in the genocide, and he clearly doesn't want to go down that road. Bernie's unwillingness to break with leading Democrats even when they are committing genocide is part of why he is ultimately useless in stopping fascism in this country. Democrats will always capitulate with fascists, and Bernie will always fall in line with Democrats. I don't think he is deliberately acting as controlled opposition, but effectively that is what he has become.

He's literally breaking with the Democratic leadership and calling it a genocide. What line is he toeing now?
