| 31. Where is Sanders' political win? |
|
He is an independent, remember? This is a fight over principle and he seems to be the only one willing to do it.
As to your image of people struggling to put food on the table, etc., etc. why not get a bill that will extend unemployment and lower taxes for working people? Oh, that's right...we'd have to annoy the GOP to do that.
