The most consequential moment for Bernie in 2020 was his choice to vote for the multi-trillion dollar corporate bailout. I don't like saying this but Bernie's campaign in 2020, like that of Elizabeth Warren, was a moral failure, not just an electoral one.

Agreed with Matt. All of our ideologies, institutions, and leaders are failing — even ones that I like. Just because I like them doesn’t prevent me from seeing that. It’s just glaringly obvious.
One reason I can notice is that I am on no one’s team. I am not a team player. Never have been and never will be, so I just do not have that cognitive bias that prevents people from comprehending what’s right there in front of them because they are on some bullshit team.
