somehow the 'once in a lifetime candidate' (who ironically already lost an election this lifetime) is now the king of roll call amendments, the champion of symbolic but failed congressional legislation, and apparently a master at using dead end bills in a senate minority to extort concessions out of private companies.

imagine running for president on a platform based on a 30 yr record of 'other people got signature laws passed but i added a bunch of shit to them!'

and amazon cut benefits, worker hours, stock comp, and bonuses btw...so their real world wages actually fell.

but i didnt see bernie or his supporters rushing out to take credit for that part. congrats on another symbolic but meaningless headline victory i guess.

also thanks for publicly tying bernie to obamacare too. im glad you admit he played an instrumental role in devising a healthcare law that apparently sucks so much he wants to destroy it.

ah there it is. the good ol game of 'neoliberal' tag (anyone who doesnt flock to bernie is 'it').

when you cant win a debate on the merits just call everyone the progressive version of 'snowflake'/'cuck' lol.
