Ascribing malice to Bernie is a very dubious (read: wrong) claim, but unfortunately in terms of results that’s basically what’s happening. Working within the two-party system is never going to produce material results.

the problem with ascribing ignorance over malice is that for all intents and purposes when it comes to politics, the effects are still the same

Then you should look up footage of how Bernie treats people to his left, and attacks activists for asking him why he’s not keeping his promises.

There’s video of him accusing progressive activists calling him out as being paid protestors, but I’m having trouble finding it again. But he’s long been aggressive at dismissing anyone to his left, while defending Democrats to his right. Maybe he held the torch for progressives post-Reagan, but his time and his usefulness have long passed. He does more harm than good now.
