Never hear of plans to cross the isle on either side to get any thing done for this great nation. But lets vote ourselves a pay raise. For what?

They don’t have to vote for a pay raise, it’s automatic.
“Today, Federal law theoretically allows an annual cost-of-living adjustment, but Congress usually votes to decline the raise. In fact, the last time Congress accepted the raise was for 2009, almost a decade ago. According to the Congressional Research Service, between 1991 and 2018, Congress accepted the adjustment 13 times, but rejected it 15 times.”

LOL, Dems.
After two plus years of providing the blueprint for anti-executive order litigation, do you really think that red states will sit idly by while you implement your extra-legislative agenda? Nope.
The only clear path to do what either party purports it is for (which I don't believe either, but I digress) is to win at the ballot box. The Dems will have a difficult enough time holding the House, much less gain the Senate or the White House. I'd put their odds at maybe 50/50 on keeping the majority in the the House - losing seats for sure - maybe a 1 in 8 shot at gaining a narrow Senate Majority - most likely, status quo ante as they lose a seat in Alabama and gain one in either Arizona or Colorado - and less than 1 in 3 at beating Trump with the band of pirates they have put forth so far.
And for all that sound and fury about Executive Action, you can't do Medicare-for-All, Green New Deal, Reparations, Free College, or Universal Basic Income, which most of them purport to be in favor of all or part of, without Congress. And regardless of who is in the majority in Congress, ain't no way any of those pass.
So they are all a bunch of damn liars, just like their predecessors. If they really felt so strongly about those issues, the Senators and Representatives among them could introduce legislation for it. Where is it?
I will wait.

"On trade, Sanders says he’d issue an executive order to block federal contracts from going to companies that outsource jobs."
This will do nothing to actually fix the problem with jobs being outsourced to an overseas location. What the companies will do is then create an overseas subsidiary and the work and jobs will still go overseas; this is already being done, take a look at one of the IRS contractors and their practices.
