@newbieprepper8451 I actually agree with you, our taxes are wasted in many ways and there's much ineptitude. There's so much work to be done. But just like taxes make sure your highway is safe (even though I don't drive on your highway), people deserve to have healthcare. Senior citizens can't even live on SS, nevermind being able to go to the hospital or treat chronic health problems. And these are people who have worked their whole lives and are citizens. If you don't have your health literally nothing else matters.
Bernie has a nickname ..Amendment King. He's sponsored or co-sponsored about 500 amendments to bills, which have mostly passed. He's worked with John McCain and other Republicans on legislation, to find common ground.
In 2014 he helped expand VA hospitals and clinics (bipartisan legislation).
He's supporting Teamsters, not just talking about it, but out there in the cold/heat, marching along w/striking workers, such as truckers, nurses, and teachers.
He was also a big part of Amazon workers forming unions and getting $15/hr.
He also made sure that unemployment benefits were extended in the early part of the pandemic.
I could go on and on about what he's actually accomplished, and continues to accomplish..
