The guy has been trying for literal decades. He hasn’t wavered from that mission or sold out somehow AFAIK. It must take an enormous amount of willpower to even continue in the face of such overwhelming odds. Don’t think it’s entirely fair to put this blame on him.

I’m not blaming him at all for this? I’m glad he’s taking this stand. I’m saying he’s been ineffective (and also outright disappointing, like his pro-Zionist stance) in bringing about any kind of useful change because the establishment keeps him (and AOC, and probably eventually Zohran Mamdani too, as much as I’m loath to admit it) around as a sort of controlled opposition/progressive figurehead to show that they’re not all that bad when they absolutely in fact are just the other side of the same coin.
