Showing Original Post only (View all)Why isn't Bernie telling Republicans what they need to do? [View all]
The Republicans won everything. They hold all levers of power. If Bernie was really the champion of the working class, he would redirect all his efforts to challenging the Republicans and speaking out against their efforts to roll back all worker rights and protections. But he still is only attacking Democrats still. This is why I view him as a fraud. He talks a good game, but what has he actually accomplished in all his years in Congress? I have more respect for Elizabeth Warren and AOC, because they are more likely to enact real change.

If all his supporters had voted for Clinton in 2016, we wouldn't have trump now and would control Supreme Court.

Can you prove it's not true? I'm convinced of it mainly because Sanders, Warren, Reich, etc., criticized Obama/Clinton

Bernie attracted a lot of republicans, right-leaning independents, and far-lefties to vote for him.

Perhaps he has. Perhaps he has no control over Tulsi, who managed to betray everyone's expectations of her.
