i love bernie, i do. i just personally think its unrealistic. we are talking about the us, the same us that put trump into office 4 years ago. even if he does get elected, doubt many of his policies would get implemented.
Yeah! I used to respect what he brought to the party, I liked that he pulled people left. But the levels of worship around the man + the fact that he’s somehow made people believe he can deliver on his outrageous promises to the point where they vote for him over someone who could actually better their lives is ... frustrating to say the least.
Obamacare was passed when the House, Senate and White House were all held by Dems, and it still was watered down to a ghost of what it started out as. It used to include a public option! Nancy Pelosi had to practically sell her organs to get that thing passed and that was pre- tea party, pre trump, pre left wing of the Dems. Like... we’re in an environment where people can’t even agree on legislation to stop surprise medical bills from happening even though literally everyone wants a bill on it.
Saying Bernie would get M4A passed or debt forgiveness passed and that’s the reason to vote for him is wildly unrealistic to me.
