Well said. eom guillaumeb Sep 2019 #4

Lets assume none of our candidates other than you know who are in anyway Eliot Rosewater Sep 2019 #26

To your last statement, it is obvious to me as well. guillaumeb Sep 2019 #28

Thank you, we have a TWO party system and these other folks you speak of either Eliot Rosewater Sep 2019 #30

I appreciate your praise. guillaumeb Sep 2019 #31

I dont want to deal with the responses, but this is what I thought of as a thread Eliot Rosewater Sep 2019 #35

That sounds very progressive. guillaumeb Sep 2019 #38

I had a perfect day once, but as I recall mushrooms were involved. Eliot Rosewater Sep 2019 #51

"It just didn't work yesterday"!!!!! Unbelievable! George II Sep 2019 #6

A remember a lot of legislation came about from that effort. aikoaiko Sep 2019 #7

Are you seriously suggesting that the lack of legislation was the fault of Biden?????? George II Sep 2019 #9

No, I'm saying its a shame his Senate mojo that he heralds didn't work. aikoaiko Sep 2019 #10

It'll be sheer joy watching President Sanders work his magic on the same crowd. OilemFirchen Sep 2019 #11

LOL aikoaiko Sep 2019 #12

nobody is going to get any support from our domestic fascist party Voltaire2 Sep 2019 #13

Okay, then. OilemFirchen Sep 2019 #16

Boom!!!!!!!!! Skya Rhen Sep 2019 #18

We should support a candidate who is proposing going forward instead of one dreaming about Voltaire2 Sep 2019 #20

I'll support a candidate who can accomplish progress. OilemFirchen Sep 2019 #22

Someone doesnt support Democrats, sounds like to me, implying such a thing... Eliot Rosewater Sep 2019 #27

+1000 sheshe2 Sep 2019 #25

So how does he propose being an effective president when he can't even be relied upon.... George II Sep 2019 #17

He's running on an even more pie-in-the-sky idea: W_HAMILTON Sep 2019 #29

And he'll get little more support from many Democrats in Congress, too. George II Sep 2019 #37

Lol, that gif. BootinUp Sep 2019 #47

Think you missed an important thread. 1) yeah, Biden's mojo did work 2) Biden has said there's emmaverybo Sep 2019 #14

That same Senate exists - Mitch McConnell was there then and he is there now. Skya Rhen Sep 2019 #24

I think you're way too optimistic. This isn't the same Senate that it used to be. pnwmom Sep 2019 #41

It would have been nice if ALL the members of his own caucus participated and voted. George II Sep 2019 #15

Sometimes you do -- sometimes you don't. aikoaiko Sep 2019 #23

Sanders is more conservative when it comes to guns than some of the other candidates Politicub Sep 2019 #32

He's also voted against legislation that would subject gun manufacturers pnwmom Sep 2019 #33

I forgot about that Politicub Sep 2019 #39

Which vote was that? n/t TCJ70 Sep 2019 #46

He voted yes to the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) ehrnst Sep 2019 #48

I'm aware of the PLCAA vote... TCJ70 Sep 2019 #49

Well of course... If Senator Sanders voted for it, there must have been something good in it. ehrnst Sep 2019 #50

I may have misstated. Maybe he simply voted for legislation that EXEMPTED pnwmom Sep 2019 #52

Well, OK, but that's not entirely true... TCJ70 Sep 2019 #55

The manufacturers were being sued for selling guns to non-compliant dealers, and that law pnwmom Sep 2019 #56

Good that he's being pulled to the Left on this issue by more progressive candidates' positions. betsuni Sep 2019 #34
