There are decades of CSpan clips of him being right over and over and over again opposing bad legislation and correctly predicting their attendant disasters and imagine how much better things would be if he had the veto stamp instead of being one congressman among hundreds?
He said things you agreed with but he didn't do anything. Where's Sanders' legislation to manage risk leverage of banks like Dodd-Frank did? He wants healthcare for all? What did he do that was instrumental in shaping the ACA, Medicare Modernization Act, and CHIP? He cares so much about education. What did he do to strengthen K-12 schools? Iraq War? Sure, totally given. So, why was it Obama who introduced the Iraq War De-Escalation Act of 2007? How involved was he in crafting the McCain-Feingold Act limiting campaign money, since he hates Citizens United so much? He bitches about the Paris Pact not being enough but wasn't one of the Dems who traveled to support its signing, which is still one of the strongest global environmental pacts we've ever been a part of. He came out of no where denouncing the system. He was PART of that system for decades. What has he done about those issues other than complain about the work that everyone else was doing?
You want me to say he's evil? You want me to apologize for supporting him? You want me to lie and say Hillary has the better record on the issues? She's going to get her brass ring, what do you want from me?
I don't want anything from you, dude. I'm not a political nihilist otherwise I might buy into his rhetoric that nothing ever changes, but maybe that's just because he's been unable to get any major legislation passed. Just Curious also tried to explain this to you. Sanders as a guy who bitches so much about the system and did jack shit for the decades he was in it but inspired a bunch of rapid, white, young voters based on a few soundbites, untenable promises, and hazy financial solutions. He was supposed to be Barney Frank or Paul Wellstone. He turned out to be Ron Paul. |
