He's a "bernie supporter" who hates bernie and bernies supporters, actively worked against him in the primary and scolded people who didn't want to vote for a rapist while also attacking Tara Reade and people who believe her.

Her role (at this point) is to give the democrats cover for not doing a thing they didn't actually want to do. Whether she was consciously complicit in this is an interesting question but I dunno how relevant.

this is incredible, the expanded unemployment and 600 a week checks were a backdoor UBI for a ton of people and that massively increased spending and prevented a complete economic collapse

If you're mad at her for reading a book instead of at the dems then congrats you fell for it. the only possible point of depersonalizing this is to aid in the Dem narrative that we are essentially being held back by The Rules, like the bureaucratic machine is simply unreliable and busted, rather than that it's a singular person who can be replaced or pressured like anyone else, that's why the twitter account I posted was urging everyone to stop treating this person like a person If you think your job is to block a sorely-needed minimum-wage hike because oh my this doesn't belong in a reconciliation bill!!! then you shouldn't be the one in charge of deciding what goes into a reconciliation bill, and one of the things we need to get mad at Dems for is letting this person serve as a scapegoat for them, which she can do more effectively as a force of nature than as a person
