He could legislate, that's his job. Introduce actual legislation to reveal who supports genocide. That would be a good start.
He's trying to legislate, goddammit. All it takes is typing "Bernie Sanders legislation" in a search engine, and use your goddamn eyes. Here's what he's trying to do:

Maybe try actually reading before replying.
He HAS been trying to legislate, but the AIPAC toadies in congress vote him down every time, spurred on by the AIPAC toady in the Oval Office.
You're basically blaming him for others stopping him from doing his job.
As for revealing who supports genocide, at last vote it was everyone in the Senate except him and 3 others and everyone in the House except the Squad and about a dozen others IIRC.
Also, do you have any links for you last paragraph? I can't find relevant articles about it.
Wasn't quite as stark as I remembered it but it was still fucking GRIM at 72 to 11 when he tried to make military aid contingent on what it's being used for.
Can't seem to find the House bill I was thinking of
Ok then. Where in this article does it say that he even tried to legislate?
Nowhere, but that's irrelevant. We know from other articles, TV News segments, C-SPAN, and the Congressional record that he's been trying to legislate this whole time.
Reality and the documentation thereof doesn't begin and end within one article from a mediocre British outlet.
A simple search on multiple search engines about Bernie's history trying to legislate in the face of AIPAC would prove you're wrong.
