Since Donald Trump’s election, his opposition party hasn’t acted much like one. The same cannot be said of Bernie Sanders, who hit the road this weekend in red states in an effort to stoke pushback to Trump’s slash-and-burn plutocratic governance.
What are you talking about? He’s like one of two progressives/independents in the senate. First of all, one person should never have a bunch of power to unilaterally change legislation. And also, for just one guy advocating for the middle class and other similarly screwed over demos, he’s done some cool shit. He was integral for budget reform in veterans support from the government. He’s introducing a bill right now to make Trump stick with his campaign promise of capping credit card interest at 10%. He had the biggest grass roots support for a presidential campaign in modern history. He also secured funding for a ton of community health centers in underserved communities when the ACA was enacted.
You can’t knock him for his achievements because you have to consider he’s just one guy standing up against unfathomable levels of corporate wealth and corruption.
