Tbf they ignore him on everything and that's why I do too. He's been in politics forever and can't get anything done ever. Sure it's the fault of the party for ignoring his good ideas, but it's also his for being so bad at politics that he can't even get the backing of his own party. How was he ever going to beat Trump if not even the Democrats like him? He says nice things but he's ineffectual
Actually, Bernie is known as The Amendment King for being able to get shit done in Congress.
Bernie Sanders is an Independent, he runs in the Democratic primaries for the Democratic Presidential nomination but he sits in Congress as an Independent.
Even less effective
If doing the right thing isn't effective then we're truly doomed
Sometimes things that sound nice aren’t the right thing.
Nobody would be good enough.
I mean they have to be good enough to win right? And Bernie can't, he's proven he can't win. So what's the point of him but words?
In any case Bernie is old as shit, that's why I don't want him. I honestly laugh at the hypocrisy of his supporters calling out the age of Biden, Trump, Pelosi and McConnell, while asking for Bernie.
You misunderstand. Nobody would be good enough for YOU. You will find something else to be angry over and will project it there.
Yeah none of the current political leaders are good enough, you're right. Sorry you have such low standards
I’m realistic and understand that perfection is the enemy of good enough. I can want better people with all my might but it won’t change reality.
