No, I agree with the original comment and the best comparison is comparing Harris and Sanders in 2024. She did better than he did in his own state so why should we listen to his critiques?

0.6% better is not that much better. Harris also did worse than Senator Welch did in 2022. This means enthusiasm for Democrats was higher in 2022 than 2024 in VT.

However, I did read multiple articles prior to the 2024 election that shows Sanders had a drop in favorability rating. This could explain the drop in his % of votes in winning the Senate election.

That said, Sanders is wasting his energy and not being productive with it. I’d rather he huddle with Robert Reich and others who are aiming to be more productive as they are in line with most of what Sanders stands for.
