and again, stop asking for people to reach across the aisle to get things done. when we find out years later the things they got done didnt help us. Think about that for a moment.I think on foreign policy, he's been able to push a couple things like the War Powers resolutions working within his caucus and bringing over some Republicans.
Drug pricing is another item he's worked across the aisle with unlikely collaborators.
A lot of stuff in the House passing amendments with unlikely allies.
He's more of a pragmatist than his supporters want to admit.
But Bernie is mainly an overton window shfiter. I think that and wielding executive power is ultimately what we should expect from him. There is a lot the President can do. We see the bad side of it with Trump.
if it didnt actually help WHO CARES? so this idea of reaching across is actually BS. its not real. its not people with different opinions about how to help the citizens out and they come to some compromise on how to do just that. Nope, that aint it at all. its you talking to some corporate dem/repub trying to convince them not to listen to their corporate overlords and to do something for the people finally. Sometimes its works and most times it wont. Which is why bernie has told you how he's going to get at these people. sure there will be tons of exec orders pushed thru for one to reverse the trump nonsense. for two he knows people cant see things unless they feel them. so some things he will force thru just to give people a taste of what it would be like if this was legit law. THEN he will go on a tour state to state getting at the corporate dems/repubs voters and telling them how their reps are not actually reppin for them and how he(bernie) is trying to give them these things/tools to work with to better their lives. Its the bully pulpit like you havent seen in our life time. He's basically going to run around like the civil rights movement. shaming the crap out of these politicians and waking up the regular voters. If he can wake them up, they do have the power to vote these people out quickly. And we know the only reason most of these clowns want to stay in it is to boost their prestige with the money class and to secure post DC jobs/money. If they realize the people aint playing no games. and will vote them out the next term. Even the money hungry politicians will start to shape up a lot more because it would be in the best interest of their own pockets.
Lol at obama or even bill clinton reaching across the aisle. starting at a horrible negotiating starting point. to end up with a b*stardized version of what you were originally pushing for the people. thats not reaching across the aisle, thats allow the other side to dictate to you your own policies.
