Lee Fang was praising Bernie for pushing a futile “law” to restrict the H1B treason. Fang said Bernie will “expose fissures in the Republicans”.
HOW IS THAT GOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM? The Repooflicans are solidly united and incapable of disobeying TrumpGod and ElonGod. They won’t quake in fear when you expose fissures, they’ll just be more united.
Remember how all those fake trials of Trump exposed fissures in his cult? No, those fake trials EMPOWERED his cult and SOLIDIFIED his Christlike radiance and omnipotence.
Big point:
If the Dem establishment hadn’t cheated Bernie in 2016 he would have been president. As president he could have SOLVED some of these problems.
The real obstacle to solution is the Dem establishment, not the Repooflican establishment. FDR solved these same problems completely in the 1930s. Bernie, who has at least some of FDR’s spirit and purpose, could have solved them if he was ALLOWED to solve them. Nobody on the Repooflican side even WANTS to solve problems. Everyone wants to ruin the country.
When group A is capable of fixing things and group B will always ruin things, there’s no point in “exposing fissures” in the ruiners. You need to improve and strengthen the fixers and remove obstacles to their fixing skill.
Messing with the leadership of the Mafia can’t possibly solve crime, and might make the Mafia less disciplined and more dangerous. Taking the handcuffs off the police department CAN solve crime.
Messing with the family structure of grizzly bears won’t prevent bears from killing people. It will just piss them off. Removing restrictions on hunters WILL stop the grizzlies.
Stirring up a hornet nest won’t stop hornets from stinging. Removing EPA rules that prevent pest control from doing its job WILL stop hornets from stinging.

Note for fairness: The deepest failure in the US political setup is the setup itself. We place a rock-hard obstacle in the way of solving ANY problem. Parliaments are ABLE to solve problems because they can change the top leadership at any time. Our setup forces all solutions to wait 4 years or even 8 years. Only a super-rare leader like FDR, with an existing power base and charisma and experience and determination to do the right thing, can emerge once in the entire lifetime of the nation.
Parliaments can and do remove inadequate prime ministers, sometimes in a matter of days, certainly in months. Parliaments have NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOPS, which is the entire definition of LIFE and SUCCESS. In our setup, each side works toward a possibility of winning 4 years from now, which lets the ruiners have a 4 year UNOBSTRUCTED crime spree.
In engineering and life, negative feedback enables fairly ordinary circuits and cells and plants and animals to do extraordinary things. Without feedback, accomplishing anything takes HUGE effort. In parliament, decent but flawed leaders can accomplish great things because the setup enables them to resonate with a public that wants to SEE solutions. When the public SEES the government fixing a few things, people TRUST the government and SUPPORT further efforts in the same direction. Our setup requires maximum force to accomplish anything at all.
