        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.

          Look, if Trump campaigned tomorrow that he would uncap the house and end exceptions to the antislavery ammendment, I’d call all of you motherfuckers as you are for repeating his lies.
