The fact Bernie hasn’t been able to enact more of his vision as a Senator doesn’t say so much about him as it says about the Senate. It’s why he needs the power of the presidency; it will give him the authority to actualize possibilities he and so many of us long for.

Just to be clear... are you saying as president he will be able to push through his own agenda, regardless of the other branches of government? Cuz that sounds pretty authoritarian, don't you think? It's okay when your guy does it but wrong when the other side does?!

The power of the people! The office is not enough. Case study: Obama.

First time I disagree with Marianne. He can’t get stuff done because of his personality traits. Being president doesn’t change that.

Thanks for taking the moral side in this election, Maryanne. I’ve gained a whole new respect for you since you backed Bernie.

He is very divisive. So are many of his followers. The left’s Trump.

Not unless he flips the senate and holds the house.

It's called the presidency, not the kingship. 🤷🏽‍♂️
