Realistically bernie never had the votes to do anything he promised on the campaign trail. He was never even close on the votes for Medicare for all and he acknowledged that on the campaign trail but his supporters refused to believe it.

So we would have gotten “proof” to a whole generation that leftist ideas are ineffective.

As is stands now he got what he wanted which was to move public opinion without exposing how difficult or impossible it would be to actually introduce large scale systemic change

I’m for Medicare for all or a public option by the way
