    It also doesn’t stand a chance in hell of passing. It’s grandstanding, if anything

      Bernie doesn’t do a ton of grandstanding. He’s also one of the only senators who introduces bills that get bipartisan support sometimes. I really don’t think he’s introducing a bill he means to go nowhere

      A congresspersons job is to advance bills consistent with their platform, and the will of their constituents. talking about favoring some hypothetical bill is grandstanding. Actually building the thing and bringing it forward is the real deal.

      Now, some bills have little to no chance of passing. This is one of those. But Bernie can’t control who he sits next to.
