Putting aside the argument that the CFPB was set up to be unaccountable and questions of its effectiveness Bernie has huge accomplishments himself. First of all as the Amendment King of Congress https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/mar/24/bernie-s/bernie-sanders-was-roll-call-amendment-king-1995-2/ he procured $11 billion in money for Community Health Clinics as part of the ACA https://theintercept.com/2015/07/06/gop-senators-support-sanders-obamacare-expansion/?comments=1

More recently he was able to invoke the War Powers Act for the first time in American history in order to end a genocide in Yemen. Trump vetoed it but it was nevertheless a massive accomplishment in trying to stop the world's biggest ongoing humanitarian disaster that is virtually ignored. He also got 300,000 Amazon workers a raise to $15 an hour with the threat of the Stop BEZOS Act. He also helped Disney workers get $15/hour and that is without even being President, imagine what he could do if he was.

I'm not going to attack you personally after this but I've read everything that you're written about politics on here since 2015 and I've never seen someone who better embodies the definition of neoliberal better than you and stravinskian. It is comical how much you guys have been wrong while all along parroting every mainstream talking point.

Again politics is not a game, people are hurting and if you want to see them helped in any significant way the only choice is Bernie, everyone else will pivot right and cave to corporate pressure guaranteed.
