Paul Waldman, supporting Sanders, but with some pragmatism...
Again, I’m certain Sanders understands all this, even as his candidacy is promoted by superfans who have convinced themselves that even the barest hint of compromise from Sanders’s maximalist positions is tantamount to treason. I doubt they’re going to cast Ocasio-Cortez out for speaking the truth, but it might make them consider whether they’ve been a little too doctrinaire.
