Bernie is a progressive who gets things done

Amendment king, community health centers, energy efficiency grants, saving post offices, VA deal, and more.

I do enjoy the historical revisionists that pretend that Sanders was anything more than a gadfly backbencher while somehow diminishing the hard work Frank did for years. Sometimes I think Ted Kennedy would have been too much of a deal maker for these people.

That's really pushing it.

The top amendment passer was a backbencher? LOL. It's like all the 3rd way attacks on Dennis Kucinch got recycled to use on Bernie without actually looking at his record.

Weren't Hillary supporters freaking out a few months ago when Fiorina attacked her for having no accomplishments? Now they happily do the same against Bernie using the same talking points. Using the same metric Hillary & Bernie both combined have passed 6 bills between them. And Hillary's tenure as SoS has been completely overshadowed by Kerry.

b-b-b-but HILLARY CLINTON'S WORST NIGHTMARE *cue demon sheep eyes*

I don't really have anything to add to this nonsense, but the idea that any Bernie supporters would bring up his work as Veteran's Affairs Chairman as a positive is hilarious.

I thought "progressive who gets things done" was just code for "secret Republican" though.

More nonsensical Sanders propaganda. How many more threads are you going to make, jfern?

[Lyin' Steve]

The fact that Clinton has the endorsement of nearly every single Democratic senator while Bernie has zero should show who their colleagues, who know them best, think is the better senator.

Hard to blame either of them for not getting bills passed through the Republican Congress of the Bush years.  Clinton was a major player on a number of bipartisan efforts and unsuccessful Democratic ventures, such as defunding the Iraq war (where Sanders voted with the Republicans)

Some guy on reddit went and looked at Sanders' accomplishments:



Very underwhelming.

Sounds like he just reaffirms work other people already did or laws that are already on the books and then turns around and takes credit for that work/those laws, years after the fact when nobody remembers what actually happened.

Or wait sorry, "his supporters online do it and his campaign doesn't know about it and has nothing to do with it."  That's the line, right?  Give me a break.

Well this thread backfired.....

Well this thread backfired.....

Not really, just of bunch of Hillary hacks attacking after seeing that title. They couldn't help themselves.

I didn't verify everything in the article, but it was mostly true. But it's just some random thing on the Internet. Hillary hiliariously just said young people don't bother to research and then said she voted against Dick Cheney's energy bill in 2005. Well, Bernie voted against it, but she voted for it.
