(14,733 posts)Sanders hasn't made any claims that he can do any of that. He's said he'll fight for it, that he WANTS to make it happen, but I've never heard him say once that he 'can' just wave a magic wand and make it happen.
Reminds me of the claims that he said economic justice could 'cure' racism. And yet when you ask for anywhere that he said such a thing, what you come back to is somebody else putting words in his mouth, helpfully 'interpreting' what he actually said into their own strawman.
ETA: Ah, and there it comes -
The money shot. If Sanders wins, they want their fellow 'level-headed Democrats' to vote for a Republican instead of Sanders. They'd rather a Republican win than a non-corporate Dem.

No offense to actual, wild wolves with the particular metaphor, btw, since protection for wolves was one of the things stripped away by this "Republican lite" administration we have...

(23,867 posts)Which might explain why they don't like Bernie. That's a nicer way of saying why they might be voting for their candidate. Crap, I said it. Why else would anyone oppose what Bernie Sanders has proposed. It's scary in some way, or they wouldn't be painting a negative picture.
edit- I'm wrong about my subject line. And this is something that I find bothersome. It's not a matter of comfort or wealth, per se, but a level of willingness to sacrifice for others, even if it's some minimal nominal amount. Ie., fair. Fairness is all we're asking for. Concentrated wealth while people suffer, is just plain inhumane.
