He...demonstrably has not. Dude has not accomplished jack shit. Speaking as a Vermonter.

I guess we’re going to have to agree to disagree as to the value of the amendments since you don’t seem to think they matter all that much legislatively.

I guess we’re going to completely ignore the amendments...

As for your question, he authored a bill on Veterans’ benefits and the naming of two Post Offices for a total of 3 bills. Granted, two of the 3 were a bit ceremonial.

In 2005, Rolling Stone called Sanders the “amendment king” for his ability to get more roll call amendments passed than any other congressman during the period since 1995, when Congress was entirely under Republican control. Sanders’s position as an Independent allowed him to form coalitions across party lines.

He’s never actually introduced healthcare reform legislation to the senate.. so what has he actually been doing? Looks like nothing more than pandering to me.

Heaven forfend people vote for Warren who is progressive AND knows how to get shit done when you can split the vote between a progressive who has never done legislative shit (let’s be real, Bernie’s great at campaigning but he’s no doer)

Dems first tried to pass universal healthcare in like 1993. Where was Bernie then? 

There are four co-sponsored bills. But he did get that post office name change...

Four bills that he sponsored have passed in (checks notes) his almost 40 years. Yeah, no. He hasn’t done much. Because he doesn’t work with people. 

I think the reality is that Clinton actually wasn’t terrible as a candidate. I think Clinton was frustratingly hesitant and cagey and defiant in the face of criticism, but I think all of that added up to her actually being really good at this.

I don’t feel like that’s a very strong argument. Warren has absolutely been harmed by a misogynist double standard, but she’s also not a very skilled campaigner or politician. Clinton never got nearly as much credit for her skills as a politician as she deserved, but Clinton was way better at this than Warren.

Something that hadn’t occurred to me until yesterday for some reason is that both Vermont and Massachusetts have Republican governors who would be in the position to fill either a Sanders or Warren vacancy with a Republican placeholder, so if either of them win the nomination and the presidency, even if Democrats won…

Here are the only possible outcomes:

Ugh. Look, I’m totally going to vote for whoever gets the nomination, and as much as I hate it, it looks like it’s gonna be this old guy. But man, I have absolutely no faith that he can beat Trump. Like none. White American isn’t gonna vote for a Jewish socialist, it just ain’t gonna happen. The moment he gets the nom…

I feel you, but I also think that Friends is seen as a show everyone watched. My friend (a fellow WOC) was just telling me about being mocked in grad school because she’d never seen Friends, and how embarrassing it was to have a group of white people looking at you like you’re an idiot because of some dumb tv show.…

I mean, I don’t like that the only diversity he pushed for was for romantic interests, but I can imagine that was the ONLY way to introduce people of color to the show. Nothing about it has aged gracefully in any way. Fat shaming, homophobia, transphobia, slut shaming...my God. Did we REALLY find this shit funny at…

Nor anyone as delightful and positive as Sinclair. But oh my gosh when I was a kid I idolized Maxine. I thought she was so cool and badass and smart.

As a white person, I can never understand how important seeing yourself represented in smart shows like “Living Single“ was, but I’ve often thought about how weird it is that there was a period in the mid 90s where there were quite a few shows with all black or mostly black casts, and then 2000 hit and that shit just…

This is some pretty thin shit, lol. Pushed for his character to date a diverse range of women ...so he can only think of people in relation to himself and not as autonomous beings?
