Bernie Sanders’ Staffers Launch A Brand New Congress to enact Bernie's program



https://brandnewcongress.org/


America needs an honest, accountable Congress to enact Bernie’s program. But trying to win each Congressional seat one-by-one is impossible. So let’s run one campaign to replace Congress all at once (except those already on board) that whips up the same enthusiasm, volunteerism and money as Bernie’s presidential campaign.

For some reason, even Bernie doesn't understand that to get anything done, a Democrat President will need at least a Democrat majority in the Senate. Bernie has helped three people running for House seats. The House won't change until the 2022 midterms, which are after the 2020 census. Maybe Bernie-ites should educate Bernie on this matter because he seems to not have know about this. Oh, and Bernie is losing the Democratic primary.

And yet the squad comes back with the same old non talking point. Here is what Bernie told Chris Mathews.

but he’s admitted that accomplishing his agenda will require more a single presidential election. “I acknowledge at every speech that I give,” he told MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, “that no president, not even Bernie Sanders or anybody else can do it alone.”

Big achievements start with big dreams. When someone calls you a big dreamer, smile and nod.

They can spare it, I hear they've been siphoning contributions from all the state Dem organizations.

wouldn't just end up electing a bunch of corporatists. Secondly, I hope it's just not a way to get an email list for Clinton.

And most important - why are they pitching to Bernie supporters and not Bernie?

It is sad that you have to be so questioning in politics.
