Some HRC supporters are as fact aversive

119. I can't believe I'm replying to this...

Sanders has repeatedly promised, much to the delight of his supporters, to grant single payer health care to everyone. That's wonderful, but it obviously means an end to big insurance companies that will not go down without a fight. Completely a non-starter considering Obamacare began as just such a plan. Cooperation from lawmakers whose campaigns are partly funded by the insurance giants will deny him from the onset.

Sanders garners great enthusiasm from supporters for promising to reform Wall Street and take down the big banks. Once again, these are some of the biggest lobbys in the country and change will happen very slowly if at all. Remember when Occupy Wall Street was going to bring about reform? Another promise beyond what he can deliver.

Finally, I don't need a link to reference Bernie's promise to send everyone to college for free. It's been a foundation of his campaign for months. All he has to do is either raise taxes or convince Yale to hand out free educations. Obviously the former is the only option, but it requires congress to tell their constituents that they voted to raise their taxes. That'll be one mean trick indeed.

Congrats on continuing the false narrative that Sanders can accomplish great things without the consent of congress. He's a great statesman, but he's no Merlin. If you doubt Sanders made any of these promises, I invite you on a trip to the greatest threads page where such posts are recced to high heaven on a daily basis.
