, Sen. Bernie Sanders said Sunday that he believes Democrats must act on stimulus now—even if it means cutting Republicans out of the process—to deliver aid to American families, uphold campaign promises and prevent the loss of the Senate and House in 2022.
Using reconciliation would circumvent Republican opposition and ensure Democrats' priorities make it into law, but it could also damage Biden’s aspirations to foster bipartisanship. Sanders said he is willing to work with Republicans on the legislation but added that lawmakers cannot “wait weeks and weeks and months to go forward.”
He warned that if Democrats cannot act quickly to deliver the relief legislation they promised in the last election cycle, the party will face severe consequences in the 2022 midterm elections. “If [Democrats] do not respond now,” Sanders said, “I believe two years from now Republicans will say, ‘hey, you elected these guys, they did nothing, vote for us.’ And they will win.
...Bernie been wearin' them mittens, yawl better listen🖤💯
The electoral policy needs to be changed to one vote per person!
So if I am understanding Bernie here. What he is actually saying the days of the do nothing Congress are over.
for certain.
coming from the man who thought he was a sure win the last 2 potus cycles and couldn't even get close to the party nom.. yeah. reliable... not.
Yes, Democrats, get you act together.
Can sanders survive with inhalations of CO2? God help the ineptitudes in power if its power they whiled
Act on stimulus? Meaning spend tax payer dollars to buy votes and make people forget about what is really happening. They are all crooked. For a guy that got ripped out twice as cand. 2 Prez. He sure is very supportive. What was his stimulus (payoff) amount?
Ahhhh yes, the unity these corrupt hypocrites have suddenly been preaching about after four years of lies and divisiveness. This is no surprise to those of us who have had the misfortune of SenSanders being our Senator. CareerBuiltOnClassDivision NotMyPresident
And he's right, if Democrats are shown to have no spine to be able to govern. And to be honest, so far these last 4 days, that's exactly what they're showing.
He's right. Joe is gonna make a mess of things
SenSanders is right SenSchumer
Bernie is correct
He’s right. Get to work. When 70-80% of Americans are in favor of it, that’s unity. Even if only 51% of Senate is for it.
The Senate represents 40 million more American Democrats than Republicans. We will NOT go back to 2016.
Agree. Time to push past Republicans & use budget reconciliation.
If Democrats don’t cheat 🙄
workingtrucker Scary
Democrats desperately need to push President Biden‘s agenda the same way Republicans push through supreme court justices. It’s time to grow a pair and say...FuckTheFilibuster
