    It says he supports lowering the age for medicare, not that he no longer believes in medicare for all. I'm not sure why this is an indictment of Sanders.

        Yeah after the way The Hill covered his campaign it would be pretty foolish to take their coverage of Sanders in good faith. You're right about this being a bare minimum move designed to avoid doing anything truly impactful though.

        On one hand, taking a concession from the capitalist class can ameliorate the suffering of the working class in the short-to-medium term.

        On the other hand, socdems gonna socdem.

      Why do so many comrades fall for these clickbait headlines? It's amazing how some lib at The Hill can try to manufacture consent about Bernie and half the people here eat it up.

        It's trendy on the left to hate Bernie now even though he's done more for leftist politics in America than pretty much any of us.

      Because he's a worthless sellout coward who hs given up every belief in favor of compromise.

      Bernie Sanders is garbage.

        Nah he's alright. Did a lot of good work. Turned a lot of people into leftists. Far from perfect but you're being a bit dramatic.
