The charge against Sanders is two-fold.
First, his station is the Senate floor. Retired to seclusion in his Vermont home, he is deserting his post. A man who deserts his post in time of crisis forfeits a good deal of respect.
Second, by absenting himself, Sanders is forfeiting even a remote chance of actually influencing events. He can do nothing to improve the terms of what will eventually pass as a relief bill. While given his poor regard in the Senate, and notorious inability to compromise, he likely would be only a negligible factor, still sometimes people do rise to the occasion, and it is not wholly impossible his presence at his post could bring some benefit.
That Sanders displays common stigmata of narcissicism is so evident to any dispassionate observer of his behavior and career, you have at least managed a 'Poe' of sorts in your opening headline, but what you have mirrored is simply the general consensus, rather than some sort of outlandish exaggerations flung to smear 'Bernie'....
"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
