He’s never tried being friendly with his coworkers, maybe he should give that a go
Comment on Bernie Sanders Champions 32-Hour Work Week With No Loss in Pay

You really truly believe that in his entire political career spanning multiple decades that he’s never once been friendly?

That’s not what I said and you know it

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic. A group of 100 having to do what 1 person says is not a democracy. The vibes on this subject are uncomfortably authoritarian. We’re talking about fundamental level stuff here. If you’re in a group of friends deciding where to go to dinner, people can vote and compromise on where they want to go, or you can have one person have total control and decide for everyone. The latter isn’t how the US should be run.

I'm try to figure out what you want from him. The topic is how one person can't do anything and you're saying he's not doing enough by trying to spread the ideas, so I'm trying to figure out what you want him to do as one person if its not promoting the idea.

I want him to come up with a viable plan to get us to where he wants us to be, not just say we should have it. He needs to get enough Senators to support it so it’ll pass, and yes that means compromising on his ideals.
