On the other hand, were any of us expecting bernie to get such a high position? I think it’s ok to be optimistic about this. It never made sense why he dropped out so soon, maybe this was part of the agreement. No harm in paying attention I guess
I don't think that's a position the democratic party is giving him. I believe he gets it automatically because he has seniority in the budget committee, and the democrats are now the majority party, but I could be wrong.
I see what you’re saying. I don’t get how any of this works tbh, considering bernies only been a senator since 2007 and there’s other people who have been senators longer than him on the team. At the very least, it isn’t a bad thing that he is where he is. I’ll stop short of going full bernie_3dChess_fanfic.txt, but we’ll see.
The senate is a seniority system. Bernie has been the top Democrat on the budget committee for six years. If Dems had won the Senate for any of the past three cycles he would have had this position then.
