I wish Bernie would weaponize the filibuster the way Rand Paul does to block these things. I’m glad his heart is in the right place and I’m glad he does these things, but he doesn’t want to play dirty and it’s 2024, you need to play dirty when they’re willing to.

Hey isnt that the money for Ukraine ?!

This guy has a consistent habit of being on the right side of history.

Politicians hate him for his one simple trick

aeronmelon ,

It won’t work, but bless his actual heart for trying.

There’s an alternate timeline where Bernie won in 2016 and restored the middle class in America. Living wages, affordable housing, affordable everything, universal healthcare, and a common sense foreign policy.

I’m not saying he’s perfect. He would have made mistakes. But he would have been the best president since FDR.

There’s an alternate timeline where he wins and can’t get anything through because there aren’t enough progressive Dems in the senate.

N0body ,

In that case, Bernie’s executive orders would have blotted out the sun. How do courts strike down student loans being forgiven under a new legal theory every month?

TropicalDingdong ,

Or where upon it seems he’ll be blocked, he goes individually to each of the blocking members states or districts, and campaigns his ideas directly to those who will be most affected, both upsetting precedent and dra international attention to individuals blocking the legislation.

You act like there wasn’t a plan. I assure you , there was a plan.

Being in a position where the entire country hears his very reasonable, very easy to understand words over and over again would eventually have an effect. Even the die-hards would eventually be asking themselves if it is in fact reasonable that corporations are assfucking each and every one of us every single day. Some of them would vote in a more progressive representative.

Would he get everything passed? Absolutely not. But he would get some good stuff through.

How did that work out for Jimmy Carter?

NauticalNoodle ,

So the same as if any other Democrat won but unlike the other Democrats, at least he would have still tried?

HootinNHollerin ,

Bernie on the right side of history as usual

If there is one thing you can accuse Bernie of, it is definitely not being a good human.

ComfortableRaspberry ,

Can you elaborate that?

WanderingVentra ,

What? How? When?

Think you’re missing a “nt” or have an extra “not” there…

You might not understand where you are saying such wrong things.

Weak troll bait. Great job refusing to elaborate

Some people aren’t on Lemmy 24/7 and can take a while to respond.

Nurse_Robot ,

To give you the benefit of the doubt, which I don’t think you deserve, homie got several replies immediately. They’re obviously a troll, and apparently so are you

ETA: lmao you’re a fucking Russian foreign actor, looking at your post history. Why did I bother replying to a government bot

givesomefucks ,

If Hillary’s primary team hasn’t taken over the DNC, we’d be coming out of term 2 of Bernie with one of the most progressive Supreme Courts in modern history…

Like just stop for a second and think about how much shit would be different if we took the slam dunk of Bernie against trump in 2016, instead of trying to cram Hillary Clinton down America’s throats.

We were this fucking close to a functional society

But instead the corporate side of the party would rather lose an election and blame Sanders and the Greens for losing. Same thing in 2000. Nader gave Gore a list of policies and said he’d drop out and endorse him if he just promised to implement just 2 of those policies. Instead of doing that, he chose to lose, and then 9/11 and the Iraq war happened, setting off an unprecedented loss of civil liberties and law enforcement abuses under Bush (and I would still say that Bush Jr was probably worse than Trump in terms of body counts and terrible policies that are still in place).

un_aristocrate ,

He would rather be on the left side though.
