Wonder why Bernie sometimes surrenders to the centrists? Remember he has to operate in the Senate, under Schumer rules. You want Bernie in leadership? He’s gonna be cautious -to keep his existing power.

While we think movement first, he’s prob conditioned to think Senate first.

This is the power they have over progressives. Sure the dnc has power w/ their rules during the primary, but ultimately if Bernie or AOC, Rashida or Ilhan want to keep their positions and not be put on crappy committees or worse, they operate within the confines of DC leadership
