    There’s an alternate timeline where he wins and can’t get anything through because there aren’t enough progressive Dems in the senate.

      So the same as if any other Democrat won but unlike the other Democrats, at least he would have still tried?

      Being in a position where the entire country hears his very reasonable, very easy to understand words over and over again would eventually have an effect. Even the die-hards would eventually be asking themselves if it is in fact reasonable that corporations are assfucking each and every one of us every single day. Some of them would vote in a more progressive representative.

      Would he get everything passed? Absolutely not. But he would get some good stuff through.

      Or where upon it seems he’ll be blocked, he goes individually to each of the blocking members states or districts, and campaigns his ideas directly to those who will be most affected, both upsetting precedent and dra international attention to individuals blocking the legislation.

      You act like there wasn’t a plan. I assure you , there was a plan.
