Well
1. They really haven't done much. Senate tends to be a big block to democratic legislation currently and the question specifically asked about the past 3 years. Probably in order to obtain the result expected of this video.
2. Bernie seems to be mostly independent and is using the DNC because it most closely aligns with his views. Ya know...since we only have 2 shitty parties right now so there's no other way? The DNC pretty much takes shots at and downplays Bernie every chance they get, so why would his supporters be the people you'd expect to sing praises to them?

Intentionally misleading video.

I will say tho, I wish one of them would have just been like "Fuck the democratic party. They've done nothing!" Lol

Here's something Congressional Dems actually should be proud of passing, and which they were able to get Republican votes in the Senate for:
https://thehill.com/policy/defense/429894-house-passes-bill-to-end-us-military-support-to-saudis-in-yemen
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/mar/13/senate-vote-war-yemen-saudi-arabia
The Senate has voted to end US support for the Saudi Arabian-led coalitions war in Yemen, bringing Congress one step closer to a unprecedented rebuke of Donald Trumps foreign policy.
Lawmakers have never before invoked the decades-old War Powers Resolution to stop a foreign conflict, but they are poised to do just that in the effort to cut off US support for a war that has triggered a humanitarian catastrophe.
The vote puts Congress on a collision course with Trump, who has already threatened to veto the resolution, which the White House says raises serious constitutional concerns.
The measure was co-sponsored by Senator Bernie Sanders and the Utah Republican Mike Lee. Next, it will move to the Democratic-controlled House, where it is expected to pass.
The bottom line is that the United States should not be supporting a catastrophic war led by a despotic regime with an irresponsible foreign policy, Sanders said on Wednesday from the Senate floor. He said a vote in favor of the measure would begin the process of reclaiming our constitutional authority by ending United States involvement in a war that has not been authorized by Congress and is unconstitutional.
In its statement threatening a veto, the White House argued the premise of the resolution was flawed and that it would undermine the fight against extremism. US support for the Saudis did not constitute engaging in hostilities, the statement said, and the Yemen resolution seeks to override the presidents determination as commander in chief.

Trump vetoed it because he puts Saudi Arabia first

Those tax cuts have were made redundant with his Bernie Sanders-esque tax increases via tariffs.

The tariffs on China? How do you figure that's a tax increase for us? You do realize he's making a deal with China now, right? His strategy worked, again.

Literally the majority of the population got a tax cut from the tax reform that was passed. You can use the damn Guardian or Huffington Posts tax calculator pre and post tax cuts to confirm this
Okay? Doesn't mean it was well received and popular

Tax cuts are only unpopular among deadbeats that dont do shit with their lives
TIL more than half the population are deadbeats that don't do shit with their lives

With primo messaging like that I can only scratch my head as to why Republicans keep losing elections

Over almost three decades, The National Interest, founded in 1985 by Irving Kristol and Owen Harries, has displayed a remarkable consistency in its approach to foreign policy. It is not, as the inaugural statement declared, about world affairs. It is about American interests. It is guided by the belief that nothing will enhance those interests as effectively as the approach to foreign affairs commonly known as realisma school of thought traditionally associated with such thinkers and statesmen as Disraeli, Bismarck, and Henry Kissinger. Though the shape of international politics has changed considerably in the past few decades, the magazines fundamental tenets have not. Instead, they have proven enduring and, indeed, appear to be enjoying something of a popular renaissance.

Until recently, however, liberal hawks and neoconservatives have successfully attempted to stifle debate by arguing that prudence about the use of American power abroad was imprudentby, in short, disparaging realism as a moribund doctrine that is wholly inimical to American idealism. This has been disastrous. After the Bush administrations failure to discover weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, it became abundantly clear that the lack of a debate in Washington was part and parcel of a larger foreign policy failing, which was the refusal to ponder the larger implications and consequences of the promiscuous use of American power abroad. A reflexive substitution of military might for diplomacy, of bellicose rhetoric for attainable aspirations, dramatically weakened rather than strengthened Americas standing around the globe. But today, as Russia, China, and Iran assess and act upon their own perceived national interests, Washington must attempt to understand those nations as they understand themselves.

This is why a return to realism has seldom been more imperative. It is notions of interdependence, the end of sovereignty, and the inutility of power that have all proven wanting in the past decade. International relations was not reinvented in 1989. While it may be an old foreign policy concept, the notion of a national interest is not an antiquarian one. On the contrary, it has never possessed more relevance than now.

What actually constitutes true realism is, of course, an appropriate source of controversy. And so, on both its web site and in its print edition, The National Interest seeks to promote, as far as possible, a fresh debate about the course of American foreign policy by featuring a variety of leading authors from government, journalism, and academia, many of whom may at times disagree with each other. But it is only out of such disagreements that dogmas can be dispelled and clarity about Americas proper aims achieved. By contributing a vital stimulus towards fashioning a new foreign policy consensus based on civil and enlightened contention, The National Interest seeks to serve this countrys wider national interest.

Fucking yikes bro lol.

He was perfectly content to use the CIA to put Pinochet in power in Chile. He also kept Vietnam going. The only "protracted war" he avoided was one with the Soviet Union.

Oh cmon, hes clearly parodying a Trump supporter, and you cant do that without a victim complex.

Trump supporters have the victim complex? Modern Democrat policy literally revolves around making people out to be victims. Whether they are black or brown or a woman or gay, evil white Republicans and corporate fat cats are out to destroy them and only Democrats and their social spending programs actually care.

I cant get through one day without hearing some lefty nutjob calling someone a racist or a sexist or a bigot. And its been that way for years, youd think people would get numb to it but they stick to the script. Fear mongering, cuz people are stupid and it works.

Yea, its really that simple. The standard for those labels has just dropped lower and lower. Nowadays if you like Trump, you can instantly be labeled a racist, despite never doing shit to a minority. Let alone believe that this race or that race is 'inferior'.

And the concentration camps bullshit, fuck im tired of hearing about that. How dumb are you when you compare overcrowding and bad conditions to complete racial subjugation and systematic murder.
