In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders wants to steal the spotlight from Stacey Abrams tomorrow night... *EDITED* [View all]Apollyonus
(812 posts)He will have the same old tirade containing rants against one or more of millionaires, billionaires, oligarchs, plutocrats, establishment, corporations and wall-street, with some hints of legislation (which will never pass) thrown in, to people who hate rich people and are struggling. There will be some pie-in-the-sky for dessert and something akin to "I alone can fix it" for coffee. (Where have I heard that line before?)
If it were easy to pass universal health care legislation as easily as naming post offices, someone would have done it already.
Sanders has a lot of pipe-dreams which are popular but no real visionary solutions. (Reference- NY Daily News interview from 2016) But then, I once believed in alchemy too and I don't blame people who want their own beanstalk in the back yard or a flying carpet or a magic lamp.
