Thanks for the laugh. The Dems have a habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

- frmersdog 7d agoYou think those "losses" aren't (to a degree) calculated? They are going to try their damnedest to win enough seats to do what they want, without winning so many that they'd have to do what they must.

- Avicebron 7d agoThe greatest career move a politician can make is to take an issue that lots of people are suffering from and make sure it is never solved but people still think they are the one who can solve it. This is Bernie's whole career (among others).
- user68858788 7d agoBernie is one of the few politicians that have a voting record which aligns with their rhetoric, going back decades.
- mitxela 7d agoBernie never won the presidency though?
- Avicebron 7d agoI don't dislike Bernie, I'm pointing out a trend among politicians.
- frmersdog 5d agoMaybe don't use him as the archetypal example if he's not even an example of it. He seems to do well for his constituents. The problem is that people outside his state keep (stupidly) choosing not to be his constituents.
- dylan604 7d agoBeing president pretty much ends your power/influence. So if you don't get what you want accomplished, you're not getting it done. As a Senator, you get 6 years every time you win an election. With that, some people are more effective not being president.
