2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders is going to have to speak on more issues affecting black people. [View all]uponit7771
(90,380 posts)...and I could care less if the money came directly or indirectly for Sanders from any of those organizations he's the one that is wearing the robe of purity and calling everyone else's garbs stained.
People were expecting an FDR congress which was over 70% average dem for almost 20 years for FDR ...
But never wanted to WORK for an FDR congress, Obamas congress was with 1 controlling vote for 59..... DAYS!!
So no... there was going to be no public option relative to the support for it in congress... it wasn't there.
There will be no single payer relative to the support for it in congress.... its' not there..
There will be no free college relative to the support for it in congress.... its not there
There will be no working for the American people from Congress, they don't care... they don't have to.. they're gerrymandered and no amount of coattails, revolution... hurricanes or money is going to change that for another 7 years
Also, Sanders doesn't even live up to his own purity test... Clinton did herself a favor and exposed this during the other debate... not only that but ...
Neither can most of dem candidates...
Clintons made 150 million from speaking fees from different groups.. so the bankers that pays them 600k is supposed to have pull!!?!??!?!??!
REALLY?!!?!!? That's Sanders marketing, that's not good perspective...
