The most logical and reasonable explanation is Bernie not having the same values or moral compass as people thought.
Whomever thought Bernie wasn’t a Go-Along, Get-Along compromiser with a history of backing the party going back over 20 years wasn’t paying attention.
Win or lose, Bernie was always going to play the hand he was dealt. He’s from the same school of Harm Reduction as Noam Chomsky, and right now Trump has him more spoked than anything the Dems are offering up.
Whether that’s wise is debatable. But it isn’t some Heel Turn that happened in April. It’s been a feature of Bernie’s political life since the start.
