but let's not lose sight of how different things would be if a whole lot of people in Georgia hadn't waited in line for hours to elect two Senators. This is where our power comes from, and we can't afford to forget that in November.

Major or nothing? Fullduplexxx Aug 2022 #1

That's how that portion of the party works BannonsLiver Aug 2022 #40

Exactly. It has been the Bernie wing that killed nearly every piece of legislation ColinC Aug 2022 #48

Both can be true at the same time BannonsLiver Aug 2022 #49

Your point can only be proven with evidence. ColinC Aug 2022 #62

A good start - hopefully if people turn out in Nov. We will have even better news in the future. walkingman Aug 2022 #2

This is major legislation. N/T lapucelle Aug 2022 #3

Oh, FFS. *Sigh* Scrivener7 Aug 2022 #4

Well Bernie, why don't you write a bill and get 50 Senators comradebillyboy Aug 2022 #5

precisely. the Senator has every right to pontificate stopdiggin Aug 2022 #8

And this is how major legislation and change PatSeg Aug 2022 #34

The deal is set. Sen. Sanders can't change it. It can be sabataged but not changed. I suppose he Demsrule86 Aug 2022 #41

Oh, I'm sure he will vote for it PatSeg Aug 2022 #47

That's where he feels he has found his "power". MrsCoffee Aug 2022 #82

And I'm sure Sanders WOULD have written PatSeg Aug 2022 #86

Yes it falls short of what we need. Manchin and Sinema were involved in making sure of that. . Autumn Aug 2022 #6

Yup, you're EXACTLY right Autumn... InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2022 #13

So we should pass nothing? This bill while not perfect has some good stuff in it...after the midterm Demsrule86 Aug 2022 #42

Bernie.... You are not helpful. LakeArenal Aug 2022 #9

Your right, Bernie is MORE of a Democrat; just look at his stellar progressive voting record. InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2022 #14

That's an opinion just as mine is. LakeArenal Aug 2022 #19

Opposing progress in favor of perfection is not progressive. NYC Liberal Aug 2022 #32

"Opposing progress in favor of perfection is not progressive." PatSeg Aug 2022 #35

"Opposing progress in favor of perfection is not progressive." Oh my Lord. That should be etched.. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2022 #71

An excellent variation on 'The Perfect is the Enemy of The Good'! GoneOffShore Aug 2022 #85

Bernie is very helpful. More so than the democrats Manchin and Sinema Autumn Aug 2022 #21

Not at the moment he isn't. LakeArenal Aug 2022 #22

No he's not, but he makes a better Democrat than some democrats, like a certain couple of them. Autumn Aug 2022 #27

It's the truth and so long as he votes for it I have no problem with him saying so Tom Rinaldo Aug 2022 #10

Yes, but when it comes to Bernie, regrettably, sometimes the truth takes a back seat. InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2022 #15

You can say that again. BannonsLiver Aug 2022 #50

Hahahaha, ok!! Yes, but when it comes to Bernie, regrettably, sometimes the truth takes a back seat. InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2022 #52

No argument here! BannonsLiver Aug 2022 #54

I see what you did there!👌🏼 Tarheel_Dem Aug 2022 #72

It's my opinion. I don't like Bernie. I did a couple past lives ago but not now LakeArenal Aug 2022 #31

Can't see why you say that...most peeps LOVE em some Bernie, includin me!! InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2022 #53

What are you trying to say? LakeArenal Aug 2022 #65

The truth is still the truth... and Bernie brings it every day like no other! InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2022 #68

No. Sorry it is still an opinion. LakeArenal Aug 2022 #78

That is a very good point. It does fall short. But we need to pass it. It is the best we can do. Demsrule86 Aug 2022 #44

At least this time TxGuitar Aug 2022 #11

Berine, why are you never happy with incremental progress? tinrobot Aug 2022 #12

The problem with your incremental progress is that Republicans come along and Autumn Aug 2022 #29

The didn't happen with the ACA...I can't think what the GOP has done like this but Demsrule86 Aug 2022 #45

And your Bernie-style bill means we strike out with Manchin/Sinema tinrobot Aug 2022 #57

We strike out with Manchin and Sinema and get less than the status quo. Autumn Aug 2022 #67

So we should spare them the trouble The Revolution Aug 2022 #60

"Dems are bad at messaging" because prominant figures shit talk major accomplishments mathematic Aug 2022 #16

Yes, especially right before the mid-terms PatSeg Aug 2022 #36

It's what a certain segment of the left does. Remember how Democrats wanted to..... Tarheel_Dem Aug 2022 #75

Sounds serious. Torchlight Aug 2022 #17

Thank you Bernie for throwing cold water on a major Democratic win. honest.abe Aug 2022 #18

If republicans don't like it it's a good thing. Kingofalldems Aug 2022 #30

There is one thing you can say about Bernie: he'll never be satisfied. Vinca Aug 2022 #33

And the way to get more of what we want PatSeg Aug 2022 #37

This is NOT what we need. 🤦🏼‍♀️ onecaliberal Aug 2022 #38

A "Socialist" being disatisfied with how far this bill goes actually helps Democratic messaging Tom Rinaldo Aug 2022 #39

Everyone already knows it's scaled down. Otherwise they would have passed the full monte months ago onecaliberal Aug 2022 #43

That's a good point PatSeg Aug 2022 #51

This is what I like about Bernie mvd Aug 2022 #55

I hope everyone noted "The good and bad of the Inflation Reduction Act" is Sander's tweet muriel_volestrangler Aug 2022 #56

And he has introduced amendment after amendment edhopper Aug 2022 #87

I'm glad someone is keeping track of work we still have to do. Otherwise these things tend GoodRaisin Aug 2022 #58

It's not that Bernie is off the rails and/or wrong in his complaints. But . . . peggysue2 Aug 2022 #59

Hard to believe, but nothing surprises me when it comes to undeserved Bernie bashing. InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2022 #69

What is "Bernie bashing"? betsuni Aug 2022 #70

I guess it's the equivalent of "Sinema" and/or "Manchin" bashing, which happens all the time. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2022 #77

I agree about the undeserved mvd Aug 2022 #92

He sure does, which is just one of many reasons Bernie is so popular with voters. InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2022 #93

Yeah, Manchin/Sinema are willing to give a few crumbs Bettie Aug 2022 #73

Difference between saying it could have been a lot better MrsCoffee Aug 2022 #81
