(685 posts).but governing is also about convincing the people who don't see those changes to be in their best interest to instead, vote with you. So governing is also about relationship building with the other side. That's the politics part of governing and legislating.
It's not accomplished by calling everyone who doesn't see it your way, corrupt and careless.
So let's say Bernie did get elected. What next? He's called most of congress, all of banking and many in business corrupt. So naturally there will be push back.
How does he overcome not having more than a few legislative allies?
You can't just wish for something. You have to create a path through to something. Because the other side gets a vote too.
I'm for Hillary. She's the better relationship builder. And I plan on holding her feet to the fire to strive for all she's running on.
