(182,508 posts)Look if magic was real, then sanders would have some actual legislative accomplishments. To date, sanders reliance on magic has resulted in no real major legislative accomplishments in the real world.
It takes hard work to achieve change. I would love to see magic work and for sanders' magical revolution to generate millions or billions or trillions of new voters but that is not how the real world works.
Meaningful change is occurring in the real world. We have far more voter participation on the grass roots level than I have seen in along time. Texas will turn blue eventually but trump may accelerate the process. Beto has a chance of defeating Carnival Cruz and there are several normally safe GOP seats where the Democrats have a chance of flipping. I just heard some amusing attack ads against Lizzie Fletcher by the GOP NRCC because the GOP is worried about TX CD7. The fact that GOP is having to divert resources to the Texas Senate race and TX CD 7 helps our candidates in our key races.
Again, your attacks on the Democratic Establishment for not believing in magic are amusing but misguided. I rejected sanders as a serious candidate because I knew that magic does not work and that none of sanders proposals made sense in the real world. Right now, we are fighting to have a check on trump to stop trump from destroying our country and our freedom. That is a worthy goal in my book.
