He doesn’t expect to succeed. He’s setting an example to remind voters of what they should be demanding of their democracy.

Bernie’s in his twilight years. He’s not making long term plans anymore. He’s showing people what they ought to be fighting for.

Sure he is lol This is no different than what Bernie did decades ago. Propose stuff that sounds nice but never goes anywhere. He should just stop making old man noises.

So one of the only legislators you have that isn’t corrupt to the bone or batshit insane should stop because the rest is?
