Why are people surprised Bernie didn’t have the votes? I saw somebody say this is what Bernie’s Presidency would have been like. Its what his entire career has been. Lots of talk, but not the work building the coalitions you need for legislative success.

Bernie Sanders has done more to coalesce progressive sensibility in this country then anyone in decades, often in the face of insidious and insulting resistance from those who have half his character.

What a joke! 😂 You don’t even believe this yourself!
Bernie has been in congress for almost 40 years with no major accomplishments. He isn’t a pragmatic political leader. Making empty promises doesn’t get you anywhere. Obviously, you don’t understand that part

Bernie has always been a backbencher. He always will be one.

You really know nothing about our political system do you? Bern paved the way for trump, his flock paved the way for Bush jr. It is an inconvenient truth, y'all set us back decades. Today he shows what a career of merely talk and incompetence results in. BTW he has shit character
