What AES (like other Bernie-acolytes) signal at these moments is that stopping Trump is not their highest priority. It's taking control of the D party. It's why AES, like Bernie, calls Trump a "symptom" of a "disease" that has distorted both parties & why he won't cut Piker loose

Even leaving aside the claim all those other D electeds are deliberately misreading him, I'm sure most Dem voters will agree defending Hasan Piker's sullied honor is worth endangering control of the Senate (and w/it Trump's ability to replace two 70+ SCOTUS Justices before 2028)
