Like what? I read the article and didn't get much of a sense of that.

Fundamentally, the Dems won't let Bernie have any power that he could use to do something for regular people, like any step toward universal health care.

Will Bernie be able to use this role to stop the Medicare privatization that began under Trump and that Biden accelerated? Don't bet on it.
