64. That's just it. Bernie talks & talks about it, blames everyone else for the failure but fails to use

Jul 2018

the Power of his congressional seat to DO Anything to change it.

Maybe because if he actually put forth serious bills to the floor & stopped the billionare problem, ..he'd lose a damn good campaign talking point.
Ya. Its a lot easier to shout the ills of others than go to work to solve the problem.

To his credit tho, Bernie DID get a post office named.

Notice his "Millionaires & Billionaires" stump speech of repeated one liners is now been narrowed down to just "Billionaires".
Ya know now that his "Money & Media" campaign of 2016 netted him a coveted title of being a "Millionaire".

And he fking expects people to take his rantings serious??!!

Claptrap ??!
Ya. That's bernie's schtick. Not mine.
