Yeah, it seems like they want a legislator. All I hear about is how great Bernieās record is compared to the others which isnāt totally true- just ask Hispanic-Americans in Texas about Sierra Blanca or the people who protested Kosovo in his office. Now the latter I think were wrong to do so but he actually had them arrested. The fact is Bernie is a politician like the rest of them who tries to sell himself as this old man who is righteously angry with Washington as usual. Heās been here 30 years. He hasnāt impacted much positive change. Heās had amble opportunity to sponsor bills. And I donāt lke hearing excuses about the composition of Congress either. Teddy Kennedy and Barney Frank got progressive legislation passed. Bernie just seems to care about Bernie and I canāt express how terrible a trait that is for someone who wants to be POTUS.
Bernie is every bit the career politician that he tries to BS people into believing he despises. Everything he does is for his own benefit, whether itās voting against bills when knows thereās enough votes to pass such, voting for defense appropriations that send money back home, or portraying himself as a ādoveā when heās voted again and again to authorize military force. But his supporters buy into this shit for the same reason MAGAts have convinced themselves that a man with multiple bankruptcies to his name is a āsuccessful billionaire businessmanā: He says what they want to hear and hates on the people they hate.
