If Bernie proposes such popular legislation, and Congress blocks it, Congressmen risk their jobs.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

So Trump isn't a puppet, he just governs on the potential for personal profits? What was Obama's excuse for betraying everybody?
Okay, you deff have a valid point that presidents tend to fail to deliver their biggest promises. But they don’t fail to steer policy. If Obama’s moderate ass can get us the ACA, Bernie can get us single payer. And if Trump can cut taxes for the rich, Bernie should pull off a way bigger tax hike.
He’s simply better at navigating politics. Also, being a dinosaur, he wants to secure a legacy and knows this is his last shot. He won’t compromise because he knows history doesn’t remember those who compromise on their principles.
Hmm, ACA is a corporate written piece of health care legislation that benefits health care companies.
Bernie will NEVER be allowed to hike taxes on the wealthy, not gonna happen.
I see a path to it.
Bernie gets to the WH and very publicly starts pushing for higher taxes. He gets stonewalled by lobbyists/establishment/corporations. He points to the fact that reforms are being blocked by a system tailored to the 1%. People come out in protest. Protests are suppressed. More people come out. All politicians shit their britches when they realize there’s no way to get re-elected if they don’t support the movement. Real change.
Real change hasn’t happened in the US for so long, I feel like Americans forgot what it takes to make it happen. It never comes easily, or peacefully.

What difference will it make? Congressmen only get elected every two years...by then, Bernie won't be President anymore.

You made the initial claim. You have the burden of proving he DOES run an 8 minute mile today. I'll take any video from the last 3 weeks, though. It doesn't have to be today.

If he starts running a foot race, almost certainly. The man just had a heart attack.

I believe that Sanders could in fact do it, through sheer athleticism and competitive spirit. The great ones, as they say, never lose it.
this is from June, before he had bionic heart improvement surgery: https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/videos/news/politics/elections/2019/06/04/bernie-sanders-goes-bat-spontaneous-neighborhood-baseball-game/1341357001/
This is from august, also before the bionic heart improvement surgery: https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1163846905920491520?lang=en
This is from Dec, after the heart improvement surgery: https://www.tmz.com/2019/11/18/bernie-sanders-basketball-jump-shot/
Obviously Bernie is a hell of an athlete, and I think his competitive spirit speaks for itself.

There's a big difference between running a mile at 7.5 MPH and shooting a few baskets. Having run many 8 minute miles and shot many baskets, I can tell you that the two activities have very little in common.
And that run to base on your second video should tell you that he's unlikely to be able to maintain 7.5 MPH for longer than 30 seconds, if he can reach it at all.
