Reply #82: I though I made that clear. [View All]

I like that Bernie stands up for working people and the poor, for civil liberties and for anti-corporatism in very concrete ways that can be measure by the his legislative history. DK seems to be about big ideas, but he doesn't, to my knowledge, have a history of the kind of success or innovation of practical solutions (like the bus/drug thing) that Bernie does.

As I said in my OP, politics is the art of the possible. You can admire noble speeches, but you can't eat them, or get healthcare from them. I know Dennis has a healthcare plan, but what has he done to concretely improve peoples' lives in the years he's been in Congress? Can you point to specific achievements in that vain, the way I did regarding Bernie?

Just to be clear, Bernie stands for his constituents. He never forgets what's important in their lives, and he acts on those issues.

Now, what has Dennis done, beyond proposing stuff?
