3. Bernie's record shows he does the least work among our candidates

and he is close to the bottom on most measurements of his work in the Senate

Was 2nd most absent in votes compared to All Senators

Got their bills out of committee the least often compared to other senators Serving 10+ Years (tied with 1 other)

And his record in 2015-2017 wasn't any better than his record in 2019 on bills submitted, bills out of committee, bills enacted, ability to obtain co-sponsers

and lets face it he's the senator of a tiny state so its not like he can possibly be doing as much for his constituents because he has a fraction of the number of constitituents

7. My question is:

why would any elected Democrat attend what is simply another IQ45 pep rally? Every one of them could follow by example what Bernie is up to and by beginning at the exact same time as the dog and pony show.

8. You think all the Democrats should call out and go campaign for themselves

in states whose people they don't represent?
