Do you realize who tweeted that? Because I feel like asking Bernie Sanders to just "do it" is very unfair. He's been fucking trying for the past decade.
Thanks for speaking up, and you make a good point, but Bernie has been consistent for decades.

Anyone who knows anything about how the US government works should know he can't change it alone.
I used to like Bernie , I think he talks a good game to get people in but can be counted on to take a dive.
Take a dive, as in concede after losing the primary and supporting the Democratic nominee? That's exactly what he said he would do all along. It's a requirement to run as a Democrat in the primary and Bernie is a man of his word.
I'll agree he is trying, but it's so little, so slow, the whole legislature sucks at making progress.
Yeah, but again that's not on Bernie. If we had more Bernies things would be different, but he's literally trying to roll that rock up the mountain like goddamn Sisyphus by himself.
Idk. I just feel like your comment is ungrateful for his efforts. He's an old man who deserves a rest from all this futility, but I get the feeling that he won't stop trying to effect change until he dies or is too physically/mentally infirm to continue.
