Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Friday stated that Democrats cannot “indefinitely” reach out to Republicans, mere days after Democrats took control of the White House and Senate.
“We cannot reach out to Republicans indefinitely. If they choose not to come on board to help the American people now, we have the majority. We should use that majority,” Sanders said alongside a clip of his recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, in which the Vermont senator reiterated the same sentiment.
“Look I think we should do our best to reach out to Republicans, who represent communities that were suffering terribly in terms of unemployment, lack of health care, and other very serious problems. But I don’t think our reaching out should go on indefinitely,” Sanders explained.
“If they chose not to come on board” with the left’s agenda items, Sanders said, Democrats should use their majority status to enact change regardless of the GOP’s support.
“Now I’m going to be chairman of the Budget Committee which handles what we call reconciliation and that as the Senate process by which you can pass, not all kinds of legislation, but a whole lot of very important legislation with a majority vote, not 60 votes,” he continued.

Then STOP. Leave us be. When you least expect it, expect it. We are better than you. Given enough time, you will be cannibalizing each other. We will not be stepping in to stop it. Not until the last of you are gone.

Why does pos run as an Independent?
Why is he not run under the party he is a member, the Socialist Party that he joined in college but never denounced. Does that make this pos an IINO?
The only person that settled for runner up in the last two run up elections to Her Thighness. I bet there was two big old payouts that probably bought Sanders a couple Bernie beach house or equivalent.
And his lefty democommie pals have stuck it to him twice in a row. Why yes Virginia, burnknee is a dumbass.
The steaming pile of dung they offer is not reaching out; they are trying to bury us with their BS.
“July 1918: The Soviet Union enacts a constitution according to which only workers, peasants and soldiers can vote for the soviets, whereas propertied classes, tsarists, nationalists, priests are de facto banned from politics “
Bernie, no offense, but you look like you’re about 3 years past your expiration date. I understand you feel time pressure most of are not under.
He’s good for a meme but when he opens his mouth....
When the illegals that vote/support Dem are removed from the Dem ‘numbers’, are they a majority? I think not.
So,....the last four years is what democrats call “reaching out to republicans”.....
On behalf of the republicans, please stop reaching out to us, Bernie.
I’ve seen some disgusting videos of the Big Guy “reaching out”. Retchingly wretched.
Join us or die!
Undesirables Non-citizens and Independents Total Yesmen.
