It's a fast read, a good read, and a better excuse to repost these two photos of Bernie Sanders at The Exchange in May, 2016, when he WON the Indiana Democratic primary.
Come what may ... they can't take THAT away from me.
BERNIE SANDERS’S HARD FIGHT FOR HILLARY CLINTON, by Amy Davidson (The New Yorker)
... Since conceding defeat in the primaries, Sanders has been one of the real champions of this campaign. He let his supporters yell at him and deride him as a sellout in bleak delegate breakfasts at the Democratic National Convention, in Philadelphia, as he endorsed Clinton and explained why they needed to do the same. He made getting support for her his priority, putting aside any subtle, undermining gestures that might have better preserved his rebel-rock-star status. He has kept doing so despite other revelations in the Podesta e-mails, ones that are not about him personally but about issues that he believes in—for example, about money in politics, as exemplified by the Clinton team’s nurturing of donors. And he has earned the right to negotiate hard on such issues in the future.
