(7,113 posts)Apparently, this video got its info from Bernie's congress.gov page, which shows just his 3 most recent enacted bills as a senator, not the ones from when he was in the House:
https://www.congress.gov/member/bernard-sanders/S000033?q=%7B%22bill-status%22%3A%22law%22%2C%22sponsorship%22%3A%22sponsored%22%7D
But his page at Govtrack shows all SEVEN from his time in the Senate and House:
S. 2782 (113th): A bill to amend title 36, United States Code, to improve the Federal charter for the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, and for other ...
S. 893 (113th): Veterans Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2013
H.R. 5245 (109th): To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1 Marble Street in Fair Haven, Vermont, as the Matthew Lyon Post Office Building.
H.J.Res. 129 (104th): Granting the consent of Congress to the Vermont-New Hampshire Interstate Public Water Supply Compact.
H.R. 1353 (102nd): Entitled the Taconic Mountains Protection Act of 1991.
H.J.Res. 132 (102nd): To designate March 4, 1991, as Vermont Bicentennial Day.

Here's the real world. If Sanders somehow is elected and we somehow hold the House, many House members either will run away from Sander's proposals or face absolute certainty of being thrown out of office in November 2022. That first term midterm would be a bloodbath of unimaginable proportions with a socialist in office.
I don't think many Democrats grasp how fragile our House situation is. We won countless districts we have no business winning. Pete has referred to that type of thing.

You might be wondering how a career politician with 3 decades in Congress and a paper thin list of "achievements" will suddenly get something done. Don't worry, his followers will pressure Congress to pass all the things BS wants.

(945 posts)As part of an outreach effort we talked to college students at a local community college- they were under the impression that Bernie was going to enact free college and student loan forgiveness through executive order. A 20 min civics lesson opened some eyes that day

(42,862 posts)The candidate that I end up selecting will be someone who shows enough initiative to get things done. He (or she) will also be someone who is willing to compromise and find common ground with the opposition... even if it means making a sacrifice and not getting everything that was hoped for, the candidate I choose will be mature enough to know that some incremental progress is always better than NO PROGRESS at all.
