He has been fighting for these things for 40 years. And hasn't succeeded at getting any of these things.
He's an ineffective politician.
All the more reason to vote for Warren or Biden. They've actually gotten some big things done.
AOC just admitted that Bernie has been all-talk/no-results for four decades.

he has little to show for it other than AOC getting her house seat.

Just a bit of advice to Sanders supporters, you need to find a better talking point as evidenced by the responses above.
