A question on sanders voter revolution [View all]

I have asked questions about this revolution repeatedly. It appears that none of sanders platform can be adopted in the real world without a voter revolution which cause new voters to rise up and make the GOP be reasonable. This concept makes no sense to me and I note that sanders has NO major legislative accomplishments

Here is on one more question

All of sanders plans are pipedreams that will never be adopted in the real world Gothmog Jan 2020 #19

why is it called a revolution? Im still trying to figure out what BS has done as a Senator... samnsara Jan 2020 #26

Is this any different than Biden saying he'll get Republican support for his proposals? LonePirate Jan 2020 #27

The same can be said of Biden's agenda... Oldest_Millenial Jan 2020 #28

Again why trust sanders when his agenda is dependent on a voter revolution Gothmog Jan 2020 #29

I think everyone understands that the GOP will stand in the way of any candidate's agenda. DanTex Jan 2020 #30

But sanders keeps promising his voter revolution will force the GOP to be reasonable Gothmog Jan 2020 #31

Yeah, and Biden promises his collegiality will get the GOP to be reasonable. DanTex Jan 2020 #32

No such promises made by Biden... simply an expressed sentiment on his part. LanternWaste Jan 2020 #35

Not exactly sure where you get that one is a "promise" and the other is a "sentiment". DanTex Jan 2020 #36
