(4,246 posts)It will mean he's able to deliver a huge # of voters.
#s like that would translate into wins down ballot.
#s like that is what gives a prez a mandate.
Should that happen, Nancy Pelosi & co would fall in line if Bernie's policies make sense, the majority voters back him and the #s work.
I think he can get it together. No, I think he WOULD get it done with the backing of voters if he forcefully enlists voter help.
I will never forget when PBO took the public option off the table and the ensuing anger among the electorate. The democrats better never shy away from doing what's right for the majority again IMO.
Yes the gop pigs will obstruct but I wonder how many of them will last.
Idk, but maybe if Bernie is loud and forceful enough he may, at the very least, bring some integrity to our leadership.
In no way am I disparaging PBO... He is amazing but the racist obstructionists were never going to act in the country's best interest.
