Should be noted that these kind of statistics are typically heavily influenced by the sheer number of garbage bills like what to rename a post office. Specific major issues is more the problem actual voters have.
If the stats lean closer to Bernie's record than others (I'd have to do some research to see, but let's assume) then it's still more of an indication she'll be better than the others she's being compared to on major issues. Biden is on record saying he wouldn't sign a bill for universal healthcare, but he's still better than Trump overall.
Biden's quote had a qualifying statement to that iirc. Something about without tax support?
So it was technically saying he wouldn't support paying for universal healthcare on credit.
Buy, hey, he'll pay for the Gaza genocide on credit, so who cares about the details?
Shouldn't those garbage bills have basically the same votes from nearly all democrat senators? So they wouldn't really affect the differences that much, right?
They would make the difference between them all small, thus allowing for everyone to look similar, exactly what this meme talks about
It's not saying her voting is similar to Sanders, it's saying her voting is MORE similar to Sanders than other senators. Those are two very different things.
It also doesn't count progressive bills that died in committee before getting a real vote.
