Sounds about right, for someone who has an actual ideology and values that they've lived and acted on for years. Presumably, like Bernie, "no one wants to work with him."
i love Faiz but it's really as simple as "he cannot speak or animate a room to save his life and he's clearly better working on infrastructure side of things than leading a political party". there's a reason he was Bernie's senior advisor and not a public face of the campaign (and before that an aide to Nancy Pelosi).
Makes perfect sense to me. I have no idea about any of these people, my point was just that "can't manage to get more than 2 votes in the DNC's special secret election for special people only to determine the future, God help us, of our country" is, all other things being equal, a point in his favor.
