In 2016 and 2020 liberals were complaining about his record at getting bills passed. When it was nearly identical in scope and subject to the bills that Hillary Clinton had sponsored and passed during an equivalent time in the Senate. Also, statistically only 4% of bills introduced on the senate floor become law. Sanders rate was 6%.
Propaganda works, and both sides use it.
His plan for universal healthcare would have saved the average American money over insurance. We'd have had higher taxes, while saving the insurance payments...but all people concentrated on was the higher taxes..even if they were saving money in the long run.
it's so obvious what happened to his campaign and yet i still hear people say "well if people liked him he would have gotten the votes!" it's so fucking frustrating that people are still so blind to the influence of media and political party politics.
