In this world, you just can't let perfect be the enemy of good."
To which you replied: "But this is a case of letting the good be the enemy of the perfect."
My point, which you totally missed, is that you are critical of President Obama for accepting what he could get passed, but praise Bernie because "He voted for what he could get when he could get it."
That is what all of them did: they took what they could get. President Obama could have saved himself a lot of grief and waited until the tooth fairy or Santa Claus put that perfect bill on his desk to sign, but he faced reality and got what he could. And that "shitty bill" as you consider it has saved a lot of lives and given millions of people access to affordable healthcare which would never have happened if we had waited for Bernie or anyone else to craft perfection.
