124. Because, as always, it's easier to demand action than to do it.

Bernie pretty much always demands entirelt unrealistic action. His plan is always that the "American People will rise up." That's NOT a plan. But as the shit rises to eye level, he can fling some of it a Democrats, even though he has accomplished very little during his career EXCEPT hurl insults at Democrats and weaken the party.
