Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I had a libertarian manager who used to say "What has Bernie ever actually done?". Hate to hand it to him, but hey, at least im still not a libertarian
Why would a libertarian be complaining about a politician not getting laws passed?
Cuz they're just libs with extra edge and that was a talking point from when the bern was a presidential candidate but i suspect your question was rhetorical :D
Why is the rest of our government so bought and corrupt they refuse to do any good?
I mean, even if Bernie had succeeded in couping Demonrats back in 2020, i dont have much faith in
democratic socialism. No sectarian smoke to my comrades who are still demsoc, but I jumped ship around 2020 after the history I read and reality started to collide. Even in the FDR days the working class has never held lasting power, it always gets funneled into bourgeois parties and unions. 
is controlled opposition, anything he accomplishes at this point will be because his colleagues in all four branches (including 
here) allow it to happen
Of al the criticisms one can have of Sanders, this one really annoys me. Offcourse he "doesn't get annything done", because all other people there are the worst monsters imaginable, who're only trying to get tax cuts for their donors. That's a criticism of them, not of Sanders. The problem is that there is no broader movement agitating around these sort of bills, not that they're voted down. These bills are a meager form of pressure on the elite, their existence is a net positive.
You dont have to hand anything to Bernie. All criticism is valid, cuz he still cant even do the bare minimum of not waffling on issues like Yugoslavia or Palestine. But I guess not batting 100 in the Imperial Senate is what it takes to keep your seat
Literal Hillary Clinton talking point
Yes and?
