Bernie only withdrew his vote from the original version and voted for and passed the modified version of that bill. Keep in mind he also was one of the few Senators to support Rand Paul's audit the fed bill.

Both knowing it wouldn't pass, and continuing their jobs as limited hangouts, controlled opposition, forever destined to lose but give the people the idea they might have some chance at turning things around.

I mean if they win and get stuff passed, great. But I'm not going to put my hopes in this system that is clearly designed to pull the rug out from under anyone looking to actually change anything significant. I've already been through this multiple times and it's pretty clear how things work out.
