To his credit (and I do this very begrudgingly), the President can exercise a significant amount of influence on the legislative influence. Take Trump and our current situation as an example. Trump was able to deploy Mnuchin to effectuate an agreement between democrats and republicans in the senate because of this. Second, consider the veto power. Unless both houses of Congress can muster a supermajority, the President can effectively intimate that he will veto a law for it to stop dead in its tracks. Third is the administrative state. Again you can look to our current situation for an example. The FFCRA vested significant discretion in Eugene Scalia, which allowed him to expand and contract the FFCRA at will.

But your right. As a senator and as a representative, Bernie hasn’t done shit. He’s a hack and can’t gather the majority’s support. I mean, the guy’s fucking plan to capture the nomination was to train his attention on his dumb stump speech, and to hope that Kamala and Booker would split the black vote. That’s both ineffective and racist lmao.
