The funny thing is I agree with Sanders in pretty much everything.....I just cannot believe that he would be able to accomplish anything during his hypothetical Presidency because the President is not a king who gets everything he wants because we have three distinct branches of government.
FTFY
oh I don't know.. I mean I hear you.. its not as if he accomplished anything as Senator because he is that wacko socialist from Vermont... but lets say that Sanders could somehow win the presidency.. .that would mean something and would have impact I think... because what he stands for is so clear that it would be an American endorsement of his views and other politiicans would have to come around... there would be issues with the courts though at least in the short term... also if somebody could get elected in a dominating performance with socialist views presumably Senators and Representatives and Governors would also tap into that... so he would not be alone.. but, yeah, it would be a huge uphill battle.... he really would need a big mandate... add to that the fact he would be sworn in at 75! maybe he has good genes but in your late 70s you tend to slow down quite a bit...
I just think the above is all irrelevant because he would get creamed.. the American people are not socialists... a majority of them do not believe we should break up the 5 largest banks or in universal health care provided by the governemnt and higher taxes to pay for it etc etc..
I mean in a sense Sanders is the candidate of the 1% movement....and he's going to be President?
But ultimately it comes down to trying to understand where the American people are.. are they so shellshocked and pissed off after the great recession that they have become socialists? I find that hard to beleive... The progressive wing of the Democratic Party as socialists? Sure i can see that.. but the country I know is just not like that....
