For additional context, Bernie hasn't voted in any of the 10 roll call votes so far in May.[1] He's not campaigning anymore. Hell, he was streaming on Twitch this evening. As noted up thread, the GOP would've just moved the goalposts by turning one of their swing votes if there was any danger of him putting a vote in for this. But he was batting .000 on the month going into today, so it was an easy bet. 1: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/bernard_sanders/400357 https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/bernard_sanders/400...

That's exactly why he should've showed up. The swing votes are swing votes because voting that way is unpopular in their district. It makes it hurt more to do the wrong thing. "Meh, it would've passed anyway" lets the people doing wrong get off too easy.
