You are deliberately misinterpreting the statement. Of course having the same opinion for 24 years by itself is not a virtue! The point is: he has had the same public stance on things that matter : gay marriage, healthcare, etc. In today's climate, when politicians change their views based on the most recent polling, this is indeed a virtue.

How do you know that? Can you really not imagine that someone can misinterpret something without malicious intention?

Can you believe that I agree with OP that Bernie was the better candidate, yet still disagree about a particular argument?
