Sanders Comes In First In Policy Platform Of Candidate Scorecard Of indivisible.org, Second Overall



Overall Listing

Sanders' itemized listing: 100% on immigration, 100% on healthcare, 100% on climate, 100% on economic justice and civil rights

On a personal note, Indivisible dinged Bernie for not committing to eliminating the filibuster. Indivisible is wrong on this and Bernie is right. In his own words, Bernie has stated the correct position, "The Senate should not become the House."

My opinion: Banning the filibuster rather than reforming it, by returning to its original purpose of continuing debate so that the person impeding progress must be forced to justify his/her position, is intellectually and legislatively lazy. The filibuster was and remains important. The problem is abuse both in its use and enforcement!
