Democrats won the House in 2018 because a lot of suburban white voters were fed up with Trump's populism and rhetoric. Anyway, I love how you deflected my main point - in which I questioned Bernie's strategy to pass his legislation hinging in primarying Democrats like Joe Manchin. Sure, that may be achievable in the Northeast with a couple Senators. In West Virginia, it will only achieve having a far-right Republican who'd vote for McConnell as majority leader. |
Sanders already got an impressive record of actually getting legislation through the senate. But besides that: many people believed that establishment republicans would block Trump and he never would get anything passed. But in reality they all fell in line. Similar things will happen with Sanders. Also it is quite funny, how the people who don't want to get progressive legislation passed (the centrist democrats) are the one saying Sanders will not get anything passed. Well, you get probably more passed if you actually try. We can be sure with Biden not many things will get better, as he actually says he doesn't want to change things. You can't fail with your legislation in congress if you don't even put legislation into congress.
