Bernie bails on AIPAC

118. Bernie Sanders' legislative record is vastly more impressive than that of Senator Hillary Clinton's

Obviously, because he doesn't know how to get things done... And never compromise. Or something like that.

I live in Minnesota. The Minnesota DFL platform includes an explicit statement of support for statewide Universal Healthcare. It's not for 'health care reform' or 'increased availability of health care services for low-income residents.' So, I guess that means that the Democratic Party in Minnesota should be losing all of the time and never getting anything done, right? It's not like we have the fourth or fifth fewest people without health insurance in the country...

Bernie Sanders doesn't have the ability to 'get it done' because Democrats like you will see that he doesn't. It's very effective to appear that you 'will not be moved' in politics. Especially when you have serious support. It means that your opposition is much more threatened by the potential cost of blocking you. It's not magic, it's negotiation. And Hillary Clinton aspires to... what, exactly? Even greater concentration of wealth in the hands of very, very few and corresponding sweeping up of what little domination they don't already have of our former Republic? How about sternly telling massive 'financial' organizations that practically function as nations to back off the siphoning of wealth out of the United States a little bit, or else she'll have to cancel dinner with them next week so that the plebes don't get the right idea?

No, I don't agree - I've seen a lot of unlikely things get done in my lifetime. I don't believe that because things seem really difficult to achieve, they can't be achieved. Or that striving for great things is pointless and, well, y'know, c'mon, just let it go, it's hard! I do know, however, that worthwhile things that are difficult to achieve won't be achieved if people just think they're too hard.
