Thats the conclusion I came to. It seems like he'd be more effective as a consultant/advisor or non-elected official. Taking up a valuable senate seat to make amendments seems like a waste of influence.
- geoka9 2y agoMy take is that he's still a successful lawmaker, it's just that he is more successful implementing his agenda with amendments rather than standalone bills.
- Eumenes 2y agoEh, I was curious and did some more research. Look at Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Bob Casey Jr. (D-PA), and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), all of whom have been serving similar amount of time - they have sponsored bills over 1k, co-sponsored ranging from 3k to 8k. Compare that to Bernie's ~ 200 co-sponsored and 3 sponsored ... I'd say thats a very weak performance compared to his peers.
