I did donate to Sanders in 2020 when it looked like he had a fair shot at winning, but I always saw him as a comrpomise. The best I had to hope for is that his presidency would reveal to the average person exactly where the gears are stuck. We would have seen a coordinated media and money campaign to prevent him from doing anything. It would have been like shining a flashlight on cockroaches. And hopefully that could have led to a more involved mass politics that had a clearer sense of what to do. Maybe I was too optimistic.

I never expected anything out of Sanders the person.
