      The ones saying that never do. They try to act like a promise means that whatever politician can make whatever thing happen all by themselves and if they can’t then it’s a lie.

        These people would’ve been so deeply disappointed in a Bernie Sanders presidency. They can dream whatever they want but the GOP would’ve absolutely melted down and said “we’ll shut the whole government down before we let this socialist do anything he campaigned on”

          I think you’re partially right, but Sanders would’ve used the bully pulpit to constantly castigate GOPers standing in his way (remember this is before MAGAts got elected). I think Bernie is far more effective on messaging than most other dems simply bc he doesn’t give af about calling people out.

            Obama used the bully pulpit for that, too. I don’t feel like it moved the needle very much.
