So basically you have either zero idea what he has done while in office or you don't care because it doesn't fit with your narrative. Good luck with that.

Considering that the left has reminded us that Obama has been a helpless shrub in the face of the all-mighty, powerful Republican congress during the past 6 years, it looks like the people who deserve the credit are the GOP lawmakers at this point...

Thats the reason we have a health care system geared towards profits and not human needs. Thats why we have perpetual warfare in the Middle East with war corporations raking in the profits. The corporations care about return on investment and that's what they get:

You will be paying a 2.2% medicare-for-all tax on income over $28000 plus a cup of coffee per week in a tax so parents can have 12 weeks of paid parental and medical leave so workers can bond with their newborns and say goodbye to their dying parents.

In Vermont, who has known Sanders for 40 years, they made Clinton not viable (less than 15% of the votes) in their primary on Super Tuesday so he got all the delegates. In polling of Republican voters in Vermont before the Republican primary there, Sanders tied with Trump as the candidate they favored. The people who KNOW Sanders and has had him as their mayor or representative in Congress trust him and love him. What does that tell us?

We now have a great chance of getting a man of integrity and ambition as president and majorities not only in the Senate but the House as well (or 2 years later). That will be an incredible opportunity to get big money out of politics and get very progressive Supreme Court justices who will fight for democracy and move towards public funding of elections, so anyone can run for office without having to beg the rich and the powerful for money.
I will be paying approximately $9000 more a year.

Yes, yes, I've heard your talking points about Vermont ad nauseum. Let THEM pay more taxes.

Have you forgotten all of Bernie's fundraising? Have you forgotten that Bernie ALSO has received money from 'fossil fuel employees'?

It's not like the Democrats haven't been trying to overturn Citizens United.

Come on man.

Don't expect Hillary to have any part in overturning Citizens United or going after Wall Street.
