No, it's concern trolling because you expect him to educate everyone on how bills are passed in a few tweets in response to two tweets about Medicare For All. Is he supposed to link to the wikipedia page or youtube video on how bills are passed every time he talks about it?
Who says its limited to MfA? He can do all of the above, and/or offer brief summaries of processes. He loses nothing by doing this, and considering his campaign will be one more affected by this due to having younger voters and voters who are new to the system it will help him long term so he won't go through New York City again. Since when was discussing civics something to be chided by the left? I know he's an old man but surely he has interns who can do this with his twitter account, like Kamala does.
Your mistake was assuming this is strictly about Bernie, when I could say that I'm ok applying this to all candidates.
Is he supposed to be managing expectations when he's not even declared yet let alone won the nomination?
Every candidate is supposed to do this. I'd be less worried about this if he weren't running but we all know he's running. Of course he loses nothing by doing this if he weren't either, since civics is important and too many voters don't understand the system.
This is not constructive criticism at all, it's concern trolling and you do it with everything Bernie or AOC does under the guise of "educating" others. It's tiresome.
I do it because despite some people who are supposed to know this, they don't engage with this in their arguments. You think it's tiresome? It's worse from my side of the fence. Maybe try to educate your side better in civics then I won't have to.
It's not a problem limited to Sanders, this can happen with any candidate unless no one really has any faith in them, which is another problem. Are any of the other potential and declared candidates educating people on how bills are passed? Is Klobuchar educating people on how her tax advantaged savings account is going to pass? Or Kamala's LIFT Act? Nope!
There's this and you do realise I can want all the candidates doing thing, right? There are more options than no civics ever and giving one hour lectures on twitter.
But somehow Trump's mess wasn't?
Trump is unique, not the average politician. His scandals would have destroyed a regular GOP administration a hundred times over, and ten times that for a Democrat. Democrats are held to higher standards by both the media and there voters. They have to be perfect, Republicans do not. Unlike them we give a damn about minority rights and putting kids in cages.
