I kinda agree with Christman’s take. Bernie’s presidency was always destined to be a “failure” in terms of passing legislation. There’s just too many bulwarks and safeguards in place to prevent the kind of revolutionary reform he wanted and he never had the kind of control of the party he would have needed to override them.
Ok but executive actions alone could help millions.
Hot take: if a left-winger ever actually became president and really started going wild with his pen you'd suddenly see all those supposed safeguards and checks on power kick in immediately.
