I see all of y'all hopping on the Bernie Sanders train and that’s cool, because he has some awesome ideas. But, if he gets elected, please remember that he’ll more than likely be fighting a Republican controlled Congress and the President’s powers are limited.

Please don’t get this guy elected because you want things to change and then abandon him when that change can’t happen immediately.

That’s a really good point and also why we should encourage people to vote in the congressional elections in 2016 and 2018 so he can get a congress that will actually work with him. Vote in all elections! From city to congress to presidential

Very true! Midterm elections are suuuuper important and you should vote in them!

FINALLY somebody brings this up, please support Bernie, but also we need to shift the congress and senate away from the republicans because they’ll stop anything he tries to do. Seriously the president isn’t nearly as powerful in the government as many people seem to thing. It’s just like when people complain that Obama didn’t do all these things he said he /WANTED/ to do, it’s not fully his fault, especially since both the Senate and House of Reps have shifted into Republican control. This means that there’s two Republican dominated parts of Congress against the Democratic President, this is also all the more reason we need a Democratic candidate to win (whether it be Hillary or Bernie), because if they both lose then we’ll be fucked with 3/3 being Republican dominated which can’t be good for the US. SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE VOTE BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU THINK YOUR ONE VOTE DOESN’T DO SHIT, IT SERIOUSLY DOES, V O T E
