9. When Bernie started his career, public colleges were free in my state.

And then things went downhill. For his entire political career.

I wonder when he will take credit for that.

11. Liz had it right the other day

Little of what he has supported has gotten done. Nothing he's opposed has been stopped.

Sadly, "progressives" chose the wrong horse, should have tried to push the superior planning, experience and resume of Warren, we might have had a chance for a progressive President. Yet another example of unqualified men getting preferential treatment over much more highly qualified women.

Now we go for who can win and try to get our agenda listened to by the next President of the United States.

12. The Fight for Fifteen is responsible for many of the minimum wage increases around the country.

"Initially, in 2012, it started with mainly fast-food and retail workers. But within years, the campaign drew in low-wage workers from alll over, including those with jobs in airports, child and health care, even universities. It grew into one of the largest waves of labor activism in recent history.

"The demonstrations grabbed headlines as they gained momentum across the country. The campaign started to see results as over half of U.S. states and more cities went on to raise minimum wages, a few of them to $15."

Bernie should give them credit.

13. He at least played a part

in getting his 2020 campaign staff to organize into a union.

Back in 1990 he oversaw his campaign staff reclassified from consultants to employees.

Like opposing immigration reform, support of minutemen militia patrolling the Mexican border.
