Sanders proposals wouldn't pass a Democrat led Congress

[evertonfc]

Even if Sanders became President, and he won't, the overwhelming majority of his plans couldn't even pass through a Democrat led Congress. He, and he wouldn't, would have to make serious compromise.

1. you may want to think about this.

Something i just copied from Facebook.

"Sure would be great if, no matter who, we would stop with the paranoia and simply vote for who we like and support each other. We are all Dems so remember that devisivness within our ranks will lose the election to Trump as quickly as you can shout "Welcome back DT". If you truly care about the future of this country then act like it. Dems are not our enemy, that's DT, for goodness sake."

13. Any Sanders victory will automatically result in a second Trump term.

This is plainly obvious.

15. I've already pointed out that just being a "Socialist" filters out all but 45% of the voters

You can't win with those kinds of numbers. Period.

16. Yet he wins in head to head match-ups with trump

including swing states save WI. But no one is beating trump in WI as of today.

17. Mostly because the GOP desperately wants him to be Trump's opponent.

To the point of even directing their members to vote for him in open primaries.

Republicans are not doing this for our benefit. Once Sanders is our nominee, then all the oppo research will come out and hit him, 24/7.

The useful-idiot progressive left is being led into a trap like pigs to slaughter.

18. and answer polls obviously

4. Former Nevada Sen. Harry Reid says 'not a chance in hell' Medicare for All would pass

But Reid, who served as a Democrat in the U.S. Senate for 30 years, including as majority leader for eight years, said it didn't matter which candidate comes out in support of Sanders' signature health care plan: "I’m against it."

"It’s impractical ... There’s not a chance in hell it would pass," he told ABC News Political Director Rick Klein, instead advocating for strengthening the Affordable Care Act -- or Obamacare -- and looking to pass a public option.

There are not enough Democratic votes to get this concept passed in the real world

9. Reid is just laying out the real truth as it is.

How ever,the Senate Rules are made by the Majority Party and can be adjusted to meet the demands of the day. Sad to say,Harry is still suffering from Moscow Mitch's knife wounds.

5. That is absolutely true

They said President Carter had few contacts on Capitol Hill and couldn't pass his programs either. There are few if any representatives who see the way to reelection as passing a socialist agenda, no matter how broadly popular, because the economic system runs on incentive, and you can't grow good jobs and the economy without incentives for people who do the work.

7. AOC has admitted that sanders proposals will not be adopted due to lack of magic wand

sanders is unable to get his proposals adopted in the real world and has been claiming that a magical voter revolution will get these proposals adopted

Even AOC has admitted that sanders does not have a nagic wand]

sanders will never get any of his proposals adopted in the real world with a magical voter revolution

8. K&R, "you're taxes are going up by I ... Don't ... know" isn't a winning proposal !!

11. That's not something to be proud of.

12. Why are you sounding like trump? You post reads like something from Russia

Without Sanders supporters a Democrat will not be elected. It takes all supporters.

22. What are sanders major legislative accomplishments in the real world?

21. Winning behind a movement of youth and POC and those opposed to the status quo...

...would change present realities. Millions are starving for profound change. And when negotiating, one shouldn't start where one hopes to end up.

Sanders has his flaws to be sure, but if he wins and lays the groundwork for the likes of AOC to become president, we may just have a future. We need major fundamental change and soon. We're in grave danger as a society and as a species. We need leadership that will inspire an army of Greta Thunbergs.
