Bernie is fine as he is. I don't trust his judgment about other candidates, or his judgment about when to work for the 'best achievable' outcome. That is not bashing. That is a measured assessment of a Democratic official as a human being.
If you think what I've said about Bernie Sanders is 'bashing' that shouldn't be allowed here, you might want to do a DU search on Chuck Schumer or John Fetterman (for just two examples). I have thoughts about them too, and occasionally have stated those thoughts as well. Do you think everyone who criticizes Schumer or Fetterman should be banned here? (that might be about half the site.)
(and btw 2016 to 2026 is ONE decade, not decades. 
Yes a long time, but my point is we should learn the lessons of history, and that was an important one, and very personal to me. I supported Bernie in the primary, as did many close to me ... I felt personally betrayed by the failure of some very impactful voices to immediately support the nominee, and no I will not forget that history.)
