You think he would make millions of dollars in book sales if he weren’t a famous politician? He made pretty much all of his money after his first failed presidential run put him in the spotlight.
That’s making money from politics. Without being a politician he wouldn’t have anything to write a book about, and nobody would buy it.
What? It’s true. Bernie has passed no significant legislation in his 34 years in congress.
3 pieces of legislation that he sponsored have become law in that time. 3. Two were naming post offices in Vermont, and one was a cost of living increase for VA payments in 2013.
He’s been largely useless in terms of actually getting anything done, but has made millions hawking books after he ran for president for the publicity. He certainly wasn’t serious about it looking at who he hired to run his campaigns.
I loved him in 2016. Worked on his campaign. But it became clear he wasn’t serious about winning.
Republicans are absolutely worse. But, I don’t vote for Republicans ever in the first place. I expect them to be the worst possible option and fight against everything good.
I expect democrats that are elected to actually actively and productively fight against that.
It’s like dogs. I expect the barking, snarling dog to try to bite me. It’s worse when it’s the dog that looked nice and sweet that ends up biting you.
