Was it illegal for Bernie Sanders to campaign on free medical and college?
No because that would have been done through normal policy change and actually a thing an elected official should try and do. What is going on in the question (even if it is a lie) is bribery. It’s not even remotely the same, and it speaks volumes of your character that you would even try and equate them.
Right, so what they’re doing is not a great policy stance, contrary to what you said earlier.
Bernie didn’t have the power to deliver on his promises without winning the election, Trump already won and has control of all three branches. It’s objectively massively different to Bernie, or any other office-seeking politician, running on a platform of what they would try to do once elected. It’s the difference between, “Here’s what I’ll try to accomplish if I win,” and “Here’s something I could do now but I won’t, I’ll only do it later and only if you vote how I say.” I’d argue it’s closer to extortion than a bribe, but no matter what you call it, it’s a terrible, evil policy stance.
Look, if Trump campaigned tomorrow that he would uncap the house and end exceptions to the antislavery ammendment, I’d call all of you motherfuckers as you are for repeating his lies.

Trump’s and Bernie’s plans would both require congress because the president literally has no access to funds without it.
I worry about people spreading these lies because it is in fact a great policy stance.
If it’s a great policy stance, they should do it now when they know they have control of both legislatures. Why wait?

So you think promising money he’ll never give out is a “great policy stance”? Huh???
giving out money is a great policy
voting for Trump or believing anything he says is idiocy
