    i do enjoy the idea of a close biden ally begging them to put sanders in a position or at least trying to do that so they could not look bad and get some goodwill for putting him in a position where he would not be able to do anything by himself and biden refusing to do even that

      Bernie would not be able to do anything by himself

      This is why I think he shouldn't even touch this fucking admin. He would be throwing away the idea of outsider

        Bernie has always been way too civil, and it's doubtful that he's going to kick the habit enough to take a cabinet position and regularly reporting publicly on how the neo-lib bureaucracy prevents any of his meaningful reform from taking effect. He'd get a heart-attack gun for pushing people away from electoralism too effectively.

        like i think that biden will be like obama in that his opponent fucked the economy and the country and he is going to take the heat for it while doing nothing so yeah it is a bad idea and if they ever do give bernie a position in the admin it is so they can use bernie's reputation for their advantage
