Bernie is and has always been a skilled political but at least he is not hypocritical and duplicitous like so many others.
It's not hypocritical or duplicitous to campaign as a progressive against racism but then turn around and support a segregationist's presidential bid, and refuse to call for a ceasefire for months as Israel commits genocide?
I mean, Bernie always said he would endorse the Democratic candidate if he lost and he was consistent in his career of being a liberal Zionist. So yes, he is not a hypocrite.
That's definitely true but I'd still say he was deceiving his supporters, even if those who read up on his history would notice the problem.
