You do realize it wasn’t about Bernie’s positions? It was just that him being a US senator enjoins a different level of scrutiny, for reasons such as: Congress funds Israel’s military and Eurovision does not. (Or as far as I know.)

People saw his opposition to funding weapons and wanted him to call it a genocide, which he hadn’t until today. Hence, expectations and the ‘finally’ sentiment being expressed.

I don’t know why you’re on this refrain of asking about my ‘favorite time’.
