(145,298 posts)The utter lack of significant legislative accomplishments by sanders is something called a fact. Congress keeps records of which member of congress sponsored a bill and if that bill becomes law. It is a fact that sanders has no significant legislative accomplishments in the real world. Most candidates who run for POTUS have accomplishments which they use to justify their run for the most important office in the world. It is fact that sanders has no such accomplishments in the real world which is why I and a great many others never took sanders seriously and I am not alone.
In the real world, it takes hard work and getting along with people to get major legislation passed. I was not surprised with sanders admitted that he does not try to get along with his fellow members of congress and that he was not good at pleasantries

I agree with the NYT description of their decision not to endorse sanders in that sanders is too inflexible and that he is not able to compromise. Compromise is key to getting legislation adopted in the real world

I admit that i do not understand sanders magical voter revolution that sanders claims will enable him to get his agenda adopted. I do not believe in magic and I have seen no evidence that sanders has a magical voter revolution.
Here is on one more question

As noted by the Magistrate, merely announcing a proposal is meaningless in the real world One needs votes to get a major piece of legislation adopted and sanders has not shown that he can do this in the real world
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
