    Yeah, the “only Bernie loves us” bullshit.

    Here are ratings from the AFL-CIO, America’s union federation, where you can find the current year and lifetime ratings of all US Senators.

    Bernie has a 98%.

    Twenty five Senate Democrats have higher pro-union ratings than him.

      Damn, you think that’s a dunk? At 98% lifetime with 100% current, you think you might be splitting hairs a bit to make that sound bad?

        Did you read the part where 25 Democratic Senators have higher lifetime ratings than him?

        Anyway, the contention here is the stupid notion that the only “good” US Senator is Bernie.
