Good thread challenging progressives to explain what a President Sanders or Warren could have done to overcome the limits of our 50/50 Senate that Biden could not. Spoiler: nothing. (And anyone telling you otherwise is engaging in magical thinking.)

@ExGOPer And he may have buried the lede: Bernie still isn’t even a Democrat. He ran on being a thorn in the side of the establishment and one reason he didn’t get the nomination is he didn’t compromise/coalition build. He’s the guy who would’ve pushed this legislation through? Come on.
@ExGOPer Peter Thiel is a super funder of progressives. Take that as you wish.
@ExGOPer They don’t have any god damned answers. They just keep saying that why the party sucks. Of course, their alternative to voting for people who mainly want to help them and advance a fair amount of their agenda is to not vote, so the other side can keep rolling back more policies.
