Right, so what they’re doing is not a great policy stance, contrary to what you said earlier.
Bernie didn’t have the power to deliver on his promises without winning the election, Trump already won and has control of all three branches. It’s objectively massively different to Bernie, or any other office-seeking politician, running on a platform of what they would try to do once elected. It’s the difference between, “Here’s what I’ll try to accomplish if I win,” and “Here’s something I could do now but I won’t, I’ll only do it later and only if you vote how I say.” I’d argue it’s closer to extortion than a bribe, but no matter what you call it, it’s a terrible, evil policy stance.

So you think promising money he’ll never give out is a “great policy stance”? Huh???

giving out money is a great policy
voting for Trump or believing anything he says is idiocy
