The back up plan is start voting these obstructionist out of congress. Start voting for candidates that promote real change not people who simply want to be elected for the sake of being elected or just to continue the status quo.
We all work our asses off at our jobs and in respect to what earnings that labor drives the people at the top keep it all. All Bernie is saying is if yall aren't gonna pay people what they deserve then we'll raise taxes on you and funnel some of those earnings back down to people in the form of government programs that provide free health care and other shyt.Sad how people hate socialism.
probably not because our hours will be cut so hard. get real dude. no one gives a shyt
Gassing up Bernie's legislative success doesn't change reality though:Between 1994 and 2006, Bernie Sanders passed more amendments than any other member of Congress, despite right-wing control of the House.
Hillary Clinton, as a senator, passed 3 bills: naming a post office, naming a highway, and establishing a historic site. Now that's what I call a "progressive who gets things done"
The narrative on this shyt confuses me so much brehs
During his quarter-century in Congress, Mr. Sanders has been the chief sponsor of just three bills that were signed into law: two renaming U.S. Postal Service offices in his home state of Vermontand one that increased the annual cost-of-living raise for veterans’ benefits, which he secured as chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee in 2013.
All told, Mr. Sanders introduced 353 bills during 16 years in the House and nine years in the Senate, giving him a success rate of just less than 1 percent.
Hillary Rodham Clinton, whom Mr. Sanders is challenging for the Democratic nomination, spent eight years in the Senate. She introduced 409 bills on which she was the lead sponsor, and three became law: renaming a post office, naming a highway and establishing a national historic site in Troy, New York, to recognize female labor leader Kate Mullany
The Sanders campaign website brags that he is the “Amendment King” — a title bestowed on him in a 2005 Rolling Stone article that said he had more amendments passed in the House than any other lawmaker over the previous decade, and at a time when Republicans controlled the chamber.
Most of those were amendments to spending bills and were not considered controversial or worth a fight.
But his bigger-ticket proposals often ran into trouble. The Rolling Stone article tracked Mr. Sanders‘ work on three amendments, two of which cleared the House but were later stripped out of the bills.
i dont think depending on people that have never gone out to vote the obstructionists out of congress every other year is a sound plan but if thats what he is depending on then
Can we please get some sources like Gallup polls? I'm looking everywhere and the things cited as the black community are just black lawmakers, not documented widespread consensus that they wanted the crime bill.
Probably due to the push for it and its popularity in the African American community
I'm gonna be honest. Dudes been saying it and I kinda just assumed it was true. So yea somebody should clear that shyt up.
