Bernie Sanders says Democratic Party has 'turned its back' on working Americans

Okay, you're almost there. Stay with me. Let's get hypothetical here. You're a legislator. You see that the workers of the country desperately need help during a pandemic. A pandemic where companies are posting record breaking profits.

You introduce multiple bills of support that are either shot down immediately in committee or get promised to get put into a major omnibus bill. Let's call that the Build Back Better Bill, or something like that. Now let's say your own party decides that most of that bill needs to be gutted. Nearly everything you've worked on for months in legislature is now erased by your peers who are all on the take from major corporations that do not want that bill passed. You hold rallies, you make deals, but you're literally outnumbered 1/47 and every time you make a concession someone who needs help doesn't get it. What do you do? Jump up and down and say everyone vote for this bill that they won't vote for? Pretend the US is a working democracy and watch your bill get shot down again by corporate lobbyists? Or do you call them out on their bullshit?
