> you can't tout keeping the same idea for years as an unqualified good thing If that's the critique you hear when comparing Sanders to Clinton, you're not listening very well. To restate, Sanders didn't just tout the same idea. He's fought for the same core principles throughout his whole career, even when in the clear minority. Overtime, the rest of our culture came around to those ideas (bringing Clinton with it). His virtue isn't his tenacity. It's his progressive thinking.
