Sanders had big ideas but little impact on Capitol Hill

[Stand and Fight]

6. Odd this...

This is odd because it's the very thing I was tweeting at Bernie about on Twitter lately:

At the heart of Bernie Sanders’ campaign is a promise to bring about sweeping change. But on some of the top issues at the center of Sanders' presidential bid -- health care, taking on the big banks and corporations, fighting for rights, raising attention to income inequality -- the revolution has been slow in the 25 years he's spent in Congress.

If he's been in Congress 25 years and sees that campaign finance reform, wage issues, and healthcare reform are so important, why hasn't he done anything to spearhead fixing these things in that time? I can recall Hillary Clinton fighting for universal healthcare in 1993. Oddly enough, despite Sanders' proclamations about a problem, I don't recall hearing anything much about him of substance regarding legislation at all and definitely nothing during those turbulent months of the early 90s. He's certainly been in Congress long enough to have done something to bring these issues to the forefront and to the media. The question is, why hasn't he?
