Bernie is a middle-of-the-road centrist by European standard yet Americans see him as a far-left extremist, that actually says a lot more about America than Bernie himself.
Kim Jong Fun If Americans had better awareness of global politics they would see this and would understand that these "impossible ideas" like universal healthcare and gun control have been in place around the world for decades.
Sue Donym.......and these Policies have been effective and successful.
That's why America is the only developed country in the whole world that doesn't have universal healthcare, it's also one of the only two countries on the planet that don't have paid maternity leave.
Its so easy but they have so many dirty lobbies like no other country has
Ja. I guess I (a Norwegian) shouldn't be shocked over the fact that Fox news likened Denmark to Venezuela . . .
As an European I cant fathem how can some Americans hate free healthcare lmao
They are told to fear it
Filip Mrcela.....McCarthyism and Corporate greed has a lot to answer for.
Many Americans see obligation as antithetical to their fetishized concept of freedom. Everybody knows that healthcare isn't free, it's paid for by taxes. Taxes are the contributions that people make to the society within which they live. Because the taxes are obligatory, they are seen as a negative, even though the people viewing it as a negative would be perfectly willing to voluntarily contribute money they earn towards other public works.
Filip Mrcela Because people believe they already make to little why "pay" for other people's healthcare
Filip Mrcela It's batshit crazy! The ignorance, arrogance and Brainwashing certainly are factors
Say what you want about Bernie Sanders, but you can't deny that with every live interview, they have to allow extra time for cheering and chanting. America is feeling the Bern...
oggyreidmore yup. It’s unreal
YESSSS
Depending on where you watch.
@David Moore the wealth tax he proposed doesnt hit anyone until $32M and up. I think we'll be okay. So will the rich people. They will still be rich! Just less so.
@D. Moore
*his plans are fully costed you fool*
People acting like $15/hr and taking care of people is like unleashing Satan upon the masses. 😂
I'm all for decent wages, but I think they need to be more savvy on this one. A decent wage in Maryland is not the same as a decent wage in some other parts. 15$*8*21*12 = 30.240$ annual... that is 1.5 times the average salary in Puerto Rico and 3/4 of the average salary in Mississippi, and that is not taking into account the area disparities inside Mississippi.
They should link minimum wages to some indicators, at least at first, and then, gradually, raise them.
Jo Pao Of course- if you’re going to do a minimum wage, you’ll want to marry it to the cost of living. Plus there’s also a million interconnected things that need to happen that cannot be listed in a CZcams comment.
Okidoki. It's just that I really only hear the 15$ minimum age and that's it.
You would have the match the minimum wage to the city with the HIGHEST cost of living in order to make sure everyone is taken care of.
Then you have to consider that some people have 3, 4, 5 kids to take care of. We have to make sure the minimum wage is enough for them.
Don’t fight for $15, fight for $30, at least
Ok, deleted my first answer because I was going against an idea you were not defending. Anyway, let's not get too carried away... 15 is a great start... let's see how that goes already.
The man who genuinely gives a shit about this country and it's people...Bernie Sanders
Fazi Rizvi is that why he told us to vote Hillary after knowing it was her who stole the nomination from him?
Donn Mckee I think he just knew he wasn't going to get the primary spot. So many people were all "potential female president! We have to vote for her!!!!! Reeeeeeeee!" As awesome as he is, he never stood a chance against that.
Donn, because she would have been better than the other dipshit
Donn Mckee oh excuse Bernie for not being a bitter loser who's willing to sacrifice the country for his own Petty loss
She supported the person who was most likely to make positive change to the country after he no longer had chance
Donn Mckee I mean think about it why would he try to split the vote for the Liberals? that's only a narrative pushed by the Republicans
Dang, america. you had this guy in the elections and you let him go? wtf
Skynet inc I know right I wish he was our president man.
Seriously
Bernout the Sandman, the bullet we dodged.
Thanks Obama...
Name a successful socialism country.. I’ll wait.
I'm from India and I really wish there were politicians like him in my country
well i am also from India but i don't belive he is best suited for our country because our country is already in a poor condition from socialism from 70 years of congress now India needs capitalism or right wing party BJP, right now the best suited man is Narendra Modi.
@@amankhare7538 I don't know if Narendra Modi is best suited PM, or maybe he is, but we surely do need capitalist changes. We're enough of this socialism shiet.
Absolutely. Most of our politicians are so corrupt and power hungry that we always have to vote for the lesser evil. It's sad really.
@@amankhare7538 once India becomes rich, it will tend towards socialism.
@@amankhare7538 You're right .. we need job creation .. America can afford to finance free healthcare .. we have 1.3 billion people ..It difficult to provide free education to these many people ..
*single tear rolls down*
I love this man.
The Brothers Blue same 🥺🥺
Brothers Blue I do too.
Bernie Sanders for president get respect back to America
As a European, I find it incredible that questions such as healthcare and free tuition are still up to debate in the USA. You guys are like, 50 years late. Socialists in your country aren't evil stalinists, they're just people who are trying to make you catch up the 50 years of progress you missed.
You do know that Europe was devastated by WW2 right? Meaning Europe had time to rebuild itself and try new things. The UK NHS came into being after WW2 as a to get people back on their feet. America on the other hand suffered far less thus less reason to rebuild.
@Alec Norton Combine that with the "Red Scare" after WW2 and it quickly becomes obvious why the US doesn't have universal healthcare and free tuition.
"America Suffered far less from the war" is not an excuse for having progressed less. If anything, it should have been a reason for them to have progressed *more* .
Also, I understand the whole red scare thing, but still, even with universal healthcare and free tuition, you'd still be FAAAAAR from communism.
Albe Van Hanoy ..we know. Our government sucks pond water.
@Albe Van Hanoy "... you'd still be FAAAAAR from communism." that's true, but that does not mean the politicians and people at the time (during the cold war) didn't think otherwise.
But now that the USSR is no more, there is not really any excuse to not get these things that Europe has had for decades. Or that's how I see it anyway.
Maybe the USA needed Trump to really, really understand how much they need Bernie
How would Twiddle follow appearances from Page McConnell of Phish in 2016 and Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead in 2017 at this year’s installment of the group’s Tumble Down music festival in Burlington’s Waterfront Park? How about an introduction from Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders?
The 2016 presidential candidate took the stage and urged attendees to vote against President Donald Trump in 2020. His remarks came ahead of a shortened set from Twiddle as severe weather led organizers to end the evening after just four songs. Senator Sanders previously sent two letters of appreciation to the Vermont-based quartet to thank Twiddle for hosting the first two installments of Tumble Down.
Damn.that right
Andrew Olson said, _Bernie is an imbecile. He was kicked out of a commune because he wouldnt work._
*1. Please provide credible, verifiable evidence to prove your claim that "Bernie Sanders was kicked out of a commune because he wouldn't work," and that "Bernie Sanders is an imbecile."*
*2. Were you kicked out of school because you wouldn't learn how to spell "wouldn't"?*
ernie green
I'm guessing those 8 years of Obama improving the Bush administration's mess meant nothing? The economy doesn't improve overnight from disaster, it takes years of careful and diligent policymaking. Trump just swooped in and took all the credit :/
Absolutely Mr. Anperm!!
If Bernie Sanders runs in 2020, he for sure has my vote!
It's time to vote, friend!
Same.
I've got good news, amigo
Check your registration status, and the rules regarding voting in the Democratic primary/caucus in your state, to make sure you can show up and vote for Bernie! I’m an independent but I’ve registered as a Democrat so I can vote (my state has a closed primary system). I believe he is absolutely for the people, and we need to be there for him. #Bernie2020
#notmeus
As a Scottish person I can assure right wingers free healthcare, education, maternity leave, paid vacation and $10 minimum wage are awesome and will not bring about the apocalypse!!!!
As a Canadian, I can assure the same thing.
Just looking at your personal income tax rate, you are taxed at 41 percent on an annual income of $55,000. So much for "free" stuff because people are paying for it.
Bravo Delta of course but it’s cheaper than health insurance not everyone is taxed that high
Well as an American, I can assure you, we have everything you Scottish people have and better. The poorest in our country still have more than your people, but, this is just me as an American.
Now, please go drink some whiskey that was invented by the Irish, and then yell at a car, or what ever you Scots do.
We can agree the apocalypse is not coming to Scotland due to your "free" public services but right now the IRS has a top personal income tax rate of 40 percent for incomes over $400,000 (approximately). Sir, $55,000 is not rich in the U.S. and it certainly wouldn't be rich taxed at 41 percent --- and that's just a single federal tax in your country not including other taxes I'm not familiar with. What I'm saying is drop the "free" claim.
Just a sidenote but Bernie has won his 2018 election in Vermont with 94% of the vote. Seems like Vermont likes this guy :)
ItzSandman - should have been 100%
time to uhhh....."relocate" that 6% then........
To Florida?
To Russia.
ItzSandman Very true. By the numbers, Bernie's by far the most popular politician in the country. We, the People, love him. (Which is why the establishment hates [& fears] him) Bernie's like the perfect girl/boyfriend that we blew off in 2016 but keep seeing in public, looking good and being ever so charming, a constant reminder of how stupid we were. 😂
Preach Bernie! How is a society to progress if children do not have access to the basis necessities.
Bernie is simply exquisitely classy! See how he stands back up as the applause stretched! Amazing human being! Bernie 2020
More people in government like Bernie please!
unfortunately Bernie's weak,he voted against Russian sanctions after it was proved Russia attacked America with cyberwarfare,need a stronger Bernie,a Better Bernie;)
#JusticeDemocrats
Juffacakes: The whole world needs more people like Bernie! People with education and heart, who have a genuine interest in making things better for humanity (incl. enviroment..) Out with all these egotistical a**holes, who don't care sh*t about anyone or anything but themselves!
Juffacakes listen to his rant about white people and you won't. It's on CZcams. I bet your parents are proud if you.
Klara Stern
Hey delusional so did the past 20 presidents that were elected. Bernie ranted for 45 seconds on how bad white people are on a CZcams post. Need to watch it with your parents then tell me how you feel about Mr. Flip flop for anybody's vote.
LOOK AT THAT CROWD STAND & ROAR!!!!! WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU BERNIE!!!!!
CranesNotSkyHooks he's making his voice heard there should more people out there running for office
there should be more then two parties in the US, like it is you have to choose the lesser evil every time.
he is too old to be president, ocasio cortez is a better choice, and the main problem is the level of poverty in the US, big money won't help with that, if only the rich benefit from a society, it has failed...
Heidenspross, that's the lamest excuse ever. Same age as Biden. She is amazing and wonderful but only 28 and needs experience. You need to study politics a little more deeply and get a better understanding. Bernie is exactly what we need, in the tradition and spirit of FDR.
angie so what kind of experience does ocasio cortez need?
a couple of decades sucking up to the corporations?
what kind of experience did drumpf have when he was elected?
the problem with politicians over 60 is the health issues and the danger of rapidly declining mental capacities, sure bernie is the posterboy for mental health compared to drumpf but all it needs is a minor stroke and he can't govern anymore... also old people are set in their ways, give bernie an advisory position and let him put his experience at the service of a young energetic president,
and you think i didn't study politics?
i've read bismarck, adam smith, hegel, kant, nietsche, marx and engels when i was 18,
learned perfect english and spanish by the age of 22,
the question is how do you use your time, watching tv? or reading some books...
yours are lame excuses, just because someone is young does not mean they are inexperienced...
As an Indian... And no.. I am not native American... I support Bernie sanders. Please vote for him in 2020
Feeling the Bern #2020.
Wow, I've never seen a crowd on a late night show go that crazy for a guest before.
Saint Arcana yes it did...The last time Bernie was there.
Um .. the crowd is told when to cheer
@@presiqnqnkov8391 um...lol try watching other introductions, they're nothing like this one.
Crazy for Crazy Bernie.
@@presiqnqnkov8391 The crowd isn't always told when to cheer. That's retarded. That's like having someone backstage that flips a switch every time he mentions Medicare for all. They just erupt. No queue needed.
Why is "socialist" such a dirty word to Americans? Do you not understand that it means putting society above the individual? It's not natural for one person to own the wealth of thousands, let alone tens of millions.
Because communists called themselves "socialists" (think what the name USSR stands for - "communist" is not in there). That seems to be the extent of it, a decades of hate of communism embodied in its main empire (which was truthfully pretty evil, in addition to being the opposing superpower) entrenched in the culture and making everything guilty by association.
Probably for the same reason that Americans can't identify countries on a globe, (lack of) education. When all you're taught is how wonderful capitalism is and beat the dang commie USSR, then no push to learn about other systems.
A lot of people (aka Trump supporters) not only associate socialism with communism, they also associate it with NAZI's. Many people in the USA admire the super rich, even though they themselves are dirt poor. It's very hard to change a culture.
@@1jimjon people that invented and used this term, Marx and Lenin meant for socialism (government run business) to be not a target itself, but a half way towards communism. Instead of changing the meaning, Bernie could just use another term. What Bernie says is that he wants free trade, but with big social programs run by government, that's more lice social democracy and not democratic socialism.
Fine, but I can never find a video of him where he explains how that would work in terms of financing. Just tell the average hard working american how much tax (rough percentage of income) they need to pay, for them to have all that.
I have a real question : Why the US and Bernie himself define himself as a " socialist "? Here, in France, and in most of European countries , including Australia, what he describes is ALREADY how our economic model works and our gouvernement are NOT socialist supporters ! We live in "progressive" countries where everyone have an healthcare for free ( the difference is that we pay more taxes to finance the system). We go to college for free, and people from abroad come and ask our students that came out from our free schools to work with them. Central, Polytechnique Masters are free degrees and are internationally wellknown. And who pays those professors ? Our taxes and it's completely normal. I mean, your parents can be poor, you still have chances to become a surgeon without ending up 200 000 dollars in debt by the age of 27 yers old. This-is-insane. What is dangerous is that, I read a lot about Americans financial situations because I follow Dave Ramsey facebook. And I can't believe that parents are posting " my daughter wants to go to college, I'm mad at her because she will end up in debt and her degree won't help her to get more money". Well, going to college , being educated isn't only about earning more money: you learn things about how the world works, you learn about positive values, you become familiar with books, newspapers ... knowledge. An entire country that can't send his children to college ends up electing Trump as a president! I mean, it is a civilisation problem that Americans can believe what Trump is saying, that they can be that easily brainwashed . Well, Nazis or a new Hitler will never come back in Europe, why ? Because school teachers do their job and prevent it to happen again. Free public schools do their jobs with public money. Yes, we also pay more taxes for our public schools than you do. We try to keep our public schools as good as private ones ( there are private schools in France but it's not the majority of our school system). Our journalists did research about Marine Le Pen supporters : 90% of those white people didn't go to college and 30% of them had no jobs or were stuck on temporary jobs. What is happening in America is the result of a financial crisis that started in early 2000. When the US government had to cut some budgets like public school and healthcare. GOP government can't raise taxes because they are elected by rich people. Rich people will pay more taxes than poor ones, it's true. Americans choose to enable another rich guy to buy his fourth yatch but will let a kid with genetic diabetes die because his family can't afford the insulin treatment. The US is a wild place to live. And now, americans will spend millions on an imaginary space to fight imaginary enemies .. but wil never spend them on healthcare or good public schools. We don't understand.. Of course, our countries have its own problems... but dying because of a car accident because you have no money to pay the bills isn't one of them. Bernie isn't socialist. He just knows how others countries model work.
Nathalie C You deserve a gold my friend. You have just described the harsh reality of America.
Nathalie C,
Bravo ! Well-expressed truth. The sad truth is that the majority of Americans are poorly educated by public schools (the institutions, not the teachers - more on that later), which are intentionally underfunded. The schools, with the approval of state legislatures throughout the U.S., then naturally turn into cesspits of academic non-achievement, bullying and violent crime. Not that money solves everything ; far from it. But if you are a child from an already disadvantaged family and you attend a crumbling, rotting classroom filled with outdated textbooks, or with inadequate heating/cooling, this will not be a morale booster to you. Especially if you are frequently hungry throughout the school day because your parent(s) are not paid a decent livable wage.
Not "bleeding heart liberalism," just the truth. I was a substitute teacher (K-12) for several years and watched educational standards fall to abysmal levels.
Whose fault was it ? IMHO : 1. NOT the Teachers - there were/are teachers on every level of ability, determination, and God-given talent. Some care so deeply for their students that it is awe-inspiring ! Most (at least ) work incredibly hard & do a very good job of educating, protecting and even inspiring their young charges. And yes, there are a few "bad apples" in the bunch, as with any profession. But the majority of teachers are profoundly dedicated, realistic problem-solvers. Teachers, while not "blameless" for lowered standards, are certainly NOT the cause (but have become the easy target of blame) !
2. Are parents to blame ? Somewhat. But only those who expect each teacher to be a "Miracle Worker" for their child, and fill in the gaps left by inattentive parenting. Parents have always been responsible for teaching basic moral & religious principles. If kids don't find answers in their home or church/synagogue/temple of worship, they will seek them elsewhere. And the answers they find will probably not be what the parents expect ! Yes, moral instruction can be complicated and a tough job, especially for tired working parents. But that is one of the assumed responsibilities of parenting. IMO, even if a child attends a "religious" school, the parent(s) are still the primary authority of moral teaching and the most important examples to their impressionable young ones.
Secondly, parents should be actively involved in their kids' studies. Know which classes they take, & whether they are successfully completing homework and tests. Any scholastic talents, interests or weaknesses ? Again, this is on the parent. The teacher may have 35 or more students per class & probably teaches six class periods per day. My suggestion : check in at least weekly with your kids. Make sure they do their own work and properly credit all sources for papers & speeches.
And let the teacher(s) know that you support their efforts. Everyone likes to know that they are appreciated !
3. Are lowered achievement levels the student's fault ?
Possibly to some degree. Back in the Cretaceous period (my school days), I was told by both my teachers and parents that : "It's YOUR education. You get out of it what you put into it." True then, true now. Students must be actively invested in their learning experience. It is the student's responsibility to bring enthusiasm, respect for teachers & classmates and diligence to the school. Attitude is even more important than academic talent !
4. Finally, who is to blame for the dismal (formerly outstanding ! ) level of academic achievement in the U.S. ? IMHO, achievement levels, classroom & schoolyard behavior & attitudes in general took an extreme downward slide after the installation of George W. Bush into the White House.
Concurrent with this (illegitimate) election, newly elected Reps. & Sens. on both the state & national levels began to cut school funding in virtually every state. The excuse (pretext) given was that the U.S. had to "pay for the war," which was, not incidentally, an unjustified war waged against the wrong nation on a faulty pretext for completely false and evil reasons. But I digress...
Republicans in the House & Senate slashed school funding in nearly every state and claimed this was to "..balance the (federal) budget..." Something, by the way, which has NOT been accomplished since the Clinton Administration. So, funding is cut and "No Child Left Behind" is promoted, a grade-level testing program which is now required (but not funded ! ) by most states. Talk about a "recipe for disaster ! " Now teachers, desperate to keep their jobs - predicated almost entirely on test results - quit teaching any stimulating or challenging subjects, and just "taught to the test." Again, in order to keep their jobs. And for doing so, teachers were harshly criticized by parents, school administrators and GUESS WHO ? - Rep.toid legislators WHO PASSED THE VERY LAWS for which they were now blaming teachers !!!
Whew !!! It would almost be funny if it weren't so despicable !
My point, and I do have one, is this : How can you tell if a man is a Republican ? He's the one who rapes the woman, blames her for the crime, then sends her a bill for "services rendered." Oh, you crazy Rep.toids ! They wreck the system, lie about why they're doing it, blame their predecessors for the poor results, then lie about why you should re-elect them to "fix the problem." the devil must be so proud of you !
Go Rep.tilians !
Shalom !
I can relate, I'm a teacher too. Some schools are like this in France. But in France, the school budget is the second budget of the gov! We are the country with the biggest school budget. ''the installation of George W. Bush into the White House.'' I understand now. One of our teacher told us that Dick Cheney was a chief executive of a major oil services company. That's why the US went to Afghanistan. He told us the '' pipeline '' story. School in Europe really enables any young kid to have a have a critical mind. So when we heard about the Iraq war, we knew that Georges W Bush was manipulated by the US industry and we knew that Iraq invasion was about oil. If GOP plan is only enable rich people to pay less taxes as possible, only rich people will go to school. Public schools will disappear if it's not already the case. Can you imagine how scary is it to read '' ain't no use going to school, it's too expensive it leads nowhere, take several jobs and work with your hands to pay the bills'' what ??. It means that knowledge isn't a value anymore in the US. This is a civilisation problem. The US is the most powerful country in the world. It can't turn out like this. In France, and Europe in general, school and knowledge is the center of every single gouvernement speech, especially because we experienced the world war II, we can't let the story repeats itself. In France, we thought our new president would cut the education budget ( he isn't a traditional left candidate) he didn't. Children need to be able to think by themself and recognize the specter of nazism in someone speech or behaviors. I'm not bashing the US. You're a great, creative and powerful country. We have our problems too. But...something is wrong with the average education level of american people.
Nathalie C good points. I can feel your feel as a Dutchman :P It's the vicious circle in America of being stuck in ideology, religion, and mostly very lacking media that insists on the society's focus being on entertainment and BS rather than intelligent discussion, so far so that intellectual arguments in many environments have almost become controversial. It is part the organic setup from elitism, as well. Human psychology on America's society can deliver great research. We can only hope that enough (online) media and citizens will focus on and start to realize the basic common sense needs that certain politicians can help to provide.
Justice Democrats are doing great right now, check it on here on YT. I can also recommend subscribing to progressive channels like Secular Talk, TYT, David Pakman, etc. Much more interesting content and takedowns over there positively influencing a large group of citizens.
that was stephen's question - if the word can turn off americans, why use it. it's because he's honest. martin luther king was bernie's hero and he was a democratic socialist, then bernie became one. it's not about saying what the whole country wants to hear as much as it is about educating them on what the country needs. he's honest to a fault
I think if you're a citizen of the country, you should have the right to healthcare
Being danish everything he just said sounds totally reasonable lol. I feel so sorry for every american, that doesn't have healthcare
America is corrupted by green
Dr No Don't feel so bad. I live in Canada and would not vote for him either. Paying 50% of your income into the tax system for shitty healthcare and piss poor infrastructure for 20 years may have jaded me......
I am American. I've been without healthcare since I was 13. I never go to the doctor, (because I cannot afford it) unless I develop a symptom that my body cannot fight off on its own. At 18, I went to get HPV shot, which is basically two shots. It was $114 for the first shot. I never went for the second shot because it was so much money. I now have genital warts because I could not afford the second shot. (I had my grandmother help pay for the first shot, and after paying the sum she looked at me and said in a raised voice, "$114! That is too much money. You're paying for the rest of it.") I just wasn't worth the trouble or sacrifice of a much needed inoculation.
I REALLY do not know why I just put this on the internet, whenever nobody in my social or family circle knows I have HPV.
Universal healthcare would save the US $2 trillion.
Which means it wouldn't cost Americans a single fucking dime to switch to Universal healthcare.
you all who voted Hillary over Bernie, hope you're enjoying Trump

The only politician I've ever seen with actual, genuine integrity.
I’d be proud to call him Mr. President! I wish I could!
*I was a republican, I'm now non-partisan.* There's few people in politics looking out for what's best for all Americans; Bernie's given me hope for a better future for my future children.
You're insane, Bernie "I want to tear down business and turn this country into farm lands" Sanders, gives you hope for the future?
So that's how Europe looks and works like in your eyes? Businesses all teared down and farm land? You clearly don't know what your talking about so I would advise you to read up on social democracy and maybe travel to Europe for a couple of weeks and experience the lifestyle there. It's not perfect, but you'll be mind blown about what the US is missing out on. We're in 2018 now! The way thinks worked 70 years ago are NOT the future! At least not a healthy and promising one for the American Society!

The only mainstream politician in America with conscience.

Lol foolish, I'm cuban you have no clue what socialism is, I posted a vid on my channel showing what socialism actually is. Cuba is a Marxist-socialist country. Only the ignorant who never experienced socialism seek socialism.
Yes!!! He's got so much conscience that he once said it's good to line up people to get food just like the Soviet Union did!!
fantastic interview. people were really listening to Bernie's powerful truth. Undeniable truth, so true that'll make you leave a party

Bernie to the rescue
#bernie2theRescue
Yo I just read that in Trevor's voice!
Remember folks. It's not about Red vs Blue. It's about what's important to actual people, on both sides of the "dividing line". The question is not "how can we pay for X, it will cost a fortune", it's "do we want X? if we do, how can we make it happen?"
Yes, but that doesn't mean that we don't include Republican and independent voters (the latter are the giant plurality of the electorate) in the conversation about what's important to normal people and how are we going to achieve it. A big majority wants a living wage, Medicare for All, free public college tuition and a clean environment, but the 1 percent on top of the money pile does not.
Remember folks. There shouldn't be a "deviding line"! The idea of a two-party system doesn't help the free flow and exchange of ideas. Not at all.
Nowan Ilfideme And in any case, check the pockets of all these indicted politicians...
Not just that, every study I've seen, including the Koch brothers one which was underwhelming, shows that on a Medicare For All system we would actually SAVE money compared to the system we are on now. It's a NO BRAINER.
Scott Barnett fair point!
America, I've been backpack'g around the world since 2016. In Singapore now. Singapore has buses where each bus line comes every 10 minutes. Its subway trains are driverless and show up every 4 minutes. It is a very green city. Everybody has health insurance. Over 90% owns homes. Their air force can kick the butts of any neighbour. Singapore is only 5.6 million, smaller than NYC or L.A. All of that is because of government support, i.e. SOCIALISM.
Americans need to get off the fear of the word "SOCIALISM" or "socialist". The archaic Republicans will play off of that fear. But socialism is a neighbourhood park. Socialism is the local library. Socialism is your money and my money spent on an aircraft carrier. Open your eyes and stop being blindly led into a dark alley of fear. I'm not saying socialism is the answer. I'm just saying it's with us and we shouldn't be afraid of the word.
I've been to over 5O countries so far. I will say that countries that I'd be happy to live in: Denmark, Holland, Iceland, Japan, S, Korea - have their governments spending more money than the USA does on trains, subways, airports, health care, dental care, eye care, job training and re-training, public housing (nice ones), parks & public places. America is falling way behind.
i have lived in singapore 2 years, and although i find it a great young country... i can overlook that it is a dictatorship -also singapore masks its poverty and wealth gap rather well, it all isnt roses there-. I would go to Uruguay if you want to experience a more demotric angle to this... Mujica was great for that country
Great to hear someone not equate socialism with communism for once :) greets from Sweden hope you visit us on the next run.
The problem with your example of Singapore is that it is a totalitarian fascist state. But yes, green can be done without fascism.
Calling a completely undemocratic country "socialist" shows a severe lack of understanding of the word - but it is pitiful that an autocracy like Singapore cares more about its population than the US government of the obscenely rich, by the obscenely rich, for the obscenely rich.
These countries are not socialist for fucks sake. They are some of the most open and free capitalist economies in the world. Some of them use SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC values like employing a generous welfare state and providing young people with the same opportunities to succeed as their richer peers. They also dont have minimum wages in Scandinavia enforced by the government, but strong unions with good relationships with their industries.
Singapore on the other hand is a tiny Island which has to be carefully managed by a strong autocratic government. Singapore is also very unequal compared to the others you mention.
Bernie is the real deal, take no substitute 🔥✌️🗳
Bernie Sanders. American political superstar, and living legend.
I love how when Bernie came out everyone just went nuts... ppl clearly love the man
now imagine if he's the actual president, wouldn't it be a wonderful place to live?
This man could have saved this country.
Didge
And he still can:)
It is SO EXCITING to be part of such a huge movement... BERNIE, *WE* are gonna do it this time around!!!
Sending love from the U.K. I absolutely love Bernie Sanders!
same from France.
And from Australia! 94.3% of the vote is absolutely incredible!
AllAboutTheAFC I'm a Brit too. Americans don't understand how prescriptions and university fees are free. But they are.
AllAboutTheAFC
Listen to his rant about white people on CZcams and you wont!.
Sending love from Indonesia, too. I do too love Bernie 🤗
Older than tRump but at least 1000 times more intelligent, sane, lucid and capable.....
Possibly the only person qualified to clean up and rebuild America post tRump.....
A man of the people not the corporations....Hopefully, the next President!
Reaction to Trump will all but guarentee it now, really... All Bernie has to do is run again.
Unless we rebalance Congress, he won't get anything done, though.. so VOTE folks!
New Message that’s the most important part. Rebalance Congress. Vote from the bottom up!
Ruwan....please, not again Hillary......
I really, really like Sanders. I really do. Sanders was almost the 1st person to ever convince me to vote but i can't exactly tell if Sanders is another puppet or not. He appears legit but everything that glitters isn't gold
Killuminati......IKR...seeTrump Towers....
But Bernie is Americas only chance to
reduce the Corporate greed.....
Hats off to this guy, treasure him , such people are rare, let alone in politics.
Big up to Bernie Sanders from France 🇫🇷!
America, he's the one that got away...
- a non-American bystander
Gipsy Mayhem : This Kiwi agrees👍🏽
He would have been great for the world! Sadly, they let Bernie slip away. I would gladly have him represent my country, Canada! Oh wait... he just did! He is the only ally Canada has vs Saudi Arabia, who posted a tweet of a plane hitting the CN tower because Canada called them out on imprisoning the women who fought for their right to drive and condemning some to death! Effectively, threatening Canada with 9/11!!! And the USA issued a statement that they will remain neutral to this threat?!? WTF is going on??? Did we not ally ourselves to you in your crisis? Why the departure from our best friend, partner and neighbour?
Keith Casey, I think we know the reason's name. We just can't figure out wtf a Donald Trump is.
Kath Casey I agree with you. The Saudi Arabian's treatment towards the human rights activists and their disgusting and inconsiderate response to Canada should be enough of a reason for America to side with Canada. If I recall correctly, Canada has indeed provided support towards America in its times of need.
AT THE VERY LEAST, America knew the pain of losing our loved ones back from the tragedy of 2001 which occurred due to Saudi Arabia. Why the fuck would America choose to remain neutral and ignorant of an incident that has once occurred to them that may occur to another nation? The government of America really needs to get it acts together.
Naw we good
I hope they load an uncut version of this interview, because I'm sure it was longer than these two clips.
But then they'd have to include the 30 minute montage of Bernie pausing every other second to say "ummmm", or "hmmm", like he does so well.
Love my Bernie so much, vote Bernie the fighter for ordinary people 🔥✌️❤️🗳
I FUCKEN love ❤️ Bernie Sanders!!! He is amazing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
*I'll take Bernie's FDR style democratic socialism over Trump's neofascism, any day!*
Cyril O'Reilly well said brother
Cyril O'Reilly i just have to ask, not a Trump supporter btw, but when you/people call Trump a fascist what do you/they mean? He has 0 fascist policies whatsoever, isnt even close by any standards to a dictator. So could you explain more how you believe he's a fascist?
David James-Cameron
I think it's pretty obvious to anyone who can read a dictionary that Trump is a fanatical fascist:
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascism
*fascism*
\ˈfa-ˌshi-zəm
_1. often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition"_
..."
_Exalts nation... above individual_ = America First politics, harming citizens and foreigners alike.
_autocratic government_ = routinely rams highly-unpopular (even amongst his own party) policy changes into effect by Executive Order, which almost always face court challenges, (skirts those on loopholes), can't even get his own party to agree on anything in Congress except tax cuts for the rich.
_forcible suppression of the opposition_ = exploits the ignorance of his supporters using social media, telling them rampant lies at unheard-of levels, attacks and discredits bona fide journalistic sources when they call out his lies, goes to extremes to fire anyone he can that isn't fascist-supportingly loyal to him, creates childishly insulting nicknames for key figures that speak up against him and repeats fake conspiracy theories against them
_exalts nation and often race_ = travel ban, border wall idea, and overall immigration policies CLEAR efforts to endorse white nationalism. Relies heavily on dog-whistle racism. KKK love him. Big jump in white-supremacist groups and activity since elected
_severe economic ... regimentation_ = launches global trade war on the advice of fringe economists within the White House administration, in spite of bipartisan efforts within Congress doing everything possible to stop him
*Yup, pretty much the dictionary definition of a fascist, to the extent the (stretched) Constitution permits, and perhaps beyond that*
Imagine the FASCIST trump would be, if he could tamper with the Constitution!!!
David James-Cameron words matter, you have to give the definitions credit, otherwise shall we blablablablablabla blablablablablabla
Justin Reily wow history lessons world definitely benefit you well and change your mind, only if words and definitions matter
Bernie Sanders is a great man. Bernie cares about us. Keep inspiring hope and keep up the good work. Your a good American!
He belongs in prison for treason. Have you ever heard him speak?
Scott Sledgister Lol Scott you are a nut job stfu.
America feels the Bern!
Listen to the crowd cheer! He fills stadiums without effort because he's so genuine and inspiring. We need to make this man president!
You're sexy. Wanna have a drink and talk politics? ....
This man is our best hope to change the course we are on.
Bernie Sanders for President!! Love this guy!!
Why he isn't in prison for treason is just beyond me.
This man should be president. If the Democratic Party would get their act together to attract young, working people they could win. Hopefully they would take some pages out of Bernie’s playbook.
*Bernie2020*
Bernie 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Sending my aroha and support from New Zealand, where despite the USA's best efforts, WE still have a universal health care system fully funded by us, the tax-payers.
Need more decent folks like Senator Bernie Sanders in our corridors of power.
Kia Kaha Kia Toa, Bernie 👍🏽❤👍🏽
New Zealand also has private options for those who can afford it, which Bernie Sanders is against because he is against any form of universal healthcare that isn't his single payer plan.
Plus, NZ healthcare professionals are constantly on strike or are emigrating because they're not paid enough. It's a huge problem at the moment because the government promised too much it coudn't deliver.
That man is laser focused on his message, labels and politics be damned. He's going to be a perfect foil to Trump, no way he's going to give Trump's constant threats, insults, diversions, etc. more oxygen. Bernie can go all the way.
He would totally win if he ran for president!
and he'll gladly bail out if you give him $600k because socialists love a great payday.
R R, Please inform Bernie to be prepared for 2020 with all his socialist ammunition. Remember, 18 Republicans tried and failed. Bernie will be a piece of cake.
By all means, keep being distracted by the "socialist" label rather than the substantive issues. That word continues to lose its power more and more every day, while support for the actual issues themselves, like single payer healthcare, continues to rise.
Trumps approval is increasing. Reality supports Trump and his brand of solutions. Sanders goes against the grain of reality.
Bernie Sanders has been consistent throughout his history, from the Chicago Civil Rights arrest in 1963 to his unfaltering record in the US Congress, Bernie has always been for the common man and human dignity! Bernie Sanders 2020!
Bernieeeeeee! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bernie would have won
That's what always drove me up a wall. "Pragmatists" were saying we should run Hillary, yet every serious poll (from the same pollsters "pragmatists" will cite over and over in other arguments) showed Bernie flattening Trump, and Hillary a lot closer. Shouldn't a "centrist" "pragmatist", if serious about Democratic power, have put Bernie up as the candidate? It's pretty telling about where mainstream Dems are in their strategic thought, and makes the term "pragmatism" (in a political sense) ring pretty god damned hollow.
I love how when he speaks you can feel everyone in the room listening. He is brilliant, and if I were American, I would follow his lead, he cares about everyone but himself.
anybody who attaches a negative connotation to socialism is misinformed imo
They sure are! While the legitimately tyrannical communists/socialist dictatorships of the Cold War certainly didn't help leftism's public image, it is primarily the effort of powerful and wealthy politicians and oligarchs that have discredited socialism in America. People need to remember that the powerful don't give rights if you don't ask for them. The right to be able to send your children to a public school and not to work in factories, to not have the exits of your workplace locked during the day, to have safety regulations, to be paid in actual money, and so many other rights were fought for by the leftists of yesteryear.
you know who also demonized the social democrats before they rose to extreme power and ransacked their nation and purged all the "immigrants", the Nazi party. Go read your history, the fascists hated the social democrats more than the communists.
Socialism is a bad idea and doesn't work. Social Democracy is the way, almost every other country uses it and it's what Bernie wants.
HOW CAN YOU NOT VOTE FOR THIS GREAT MAN???
Simple he once said that is good to line up people to get food, hates the rich and yet he owns like 3 houses, he hates big tech but he depends on it
What a legend
I love this man so much. He cares. He's what politicians should be. 💙
Keep on loving. No harm loving the old man ideas. But there is no chance of him taking on Trump. Hillary spent 1,3 B. Bernie will need 2 billion in 2020. Better to live happy under Trump, then to lose and regret calling Trump Racist. Ha ha ha ha ha ha..
Kreepie11 why must you be so dumb. This is a man who talks about socialist ideas while simultaneously owning more than one mansion. Bernie is insane, just look at the guy
@Glurp puffloid
your ignorance was painful to read, and I simply do not have the time to respond to each of your points specifically.
My only advice to you would be to research the ideas and practicality of them and you will see them as the impractical and imprudent ideas that they are
best of luck...#TRUMP2020
Bernie 2020!!!
A FUTURE TO BELIEVE IN!!!
Everytime he comes on stage i just wanna yell Bernie, Bernie, Bernie along with everyone else.. How i wish this man were our president..
We love you Bernie !
Richard W. Bradford ❤
Richard W. Bradford No we don't
Andy C Yes we do
Eric Nick "we" as in brainwashed millennials? Then yes.
Andy C So millennials are brainwashed for opposing the cult like trump fanastism?
Oh what a wonderful world 🌎 it would be! Go Bernie, Go!
I agree - Bernie#2020
Victoria Martens what a wonderful world it would be if you could get a free massage by warm hands daily to cool down your nerves. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Forever will this man go down in history as the most loved politician in United States history :) love you Bernie!
As a Swede I really hope that Sanders becomes the next us president.
These ideas are called social democratic
Indeed. Democratic socialism is something completely different.
Congrats to CZcams because troll messages aren’t the first ones in my feed for this video. I don’t know if it has to do with CZcams security measures or with the amount of support Bernie has but it’s refreshing not having Hate as the first thing to read.
BERNIE 2020 With love from the Netherlands
BERNIE 2020 With love from Australia too :)
Maybe there because here is Trump 2020 lol
Bernie Bernie Bernie Bernie!!! ❤️❤️❤️
That America is your President right there.
Nobody can get the audience THAT freakin excited other than Bernie. Look at that joy!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Bernie is the most popular politician in the country and will win in 2020 if he runs. Centrism won't beat far-right Trumpism. You need a leftist candidate.
Justin S. Yes, brother!
No
@@jaketnelson yes
Aged terribly
Bernie 2020. Americans gain your dignity back.

Lmfao

Maga 2020 .
Sorry
#Nope.
Oh hey, it's my President in my alternate timeline
Hell yeah! In mine too. ✊👏
Unfortunately, we live in the darkest timeline...
He still could be in this timeline. In 2020, I will be with Bernie all the way.
Now that's a Sci Fi I would watch
2020 is approaching soon
Politicians taking money from corporations are corrupt by default. Give them a fixed income (maybe with bonuses depending on each politicians goals) and kick out the corporations. Removing the money, you remove the corruption.
Another solution would be to impose term limits. You don't need a constant stream of campaign funding if you're not running for re-election.
@@sorenlily2280 Doesn't work as well as you'd think. Here in California, we have term limits in the state legislature, and it hasn't changed their votes (or fund raising) much.
If anybody in politics deserves to be president it’s Bernie
I never liked politics, never participated and always thought it was a BS, but this man here has changed all that...first time I ever donated money to a politician was for you Bernie...big fan! BERNIE 2020
Bernie! Still my favorite candidate ever. So sad he didn't get the support he deserved from the Democratic Party.
Jo
The DNC conspired against Bernie to elect Hillary.
Jo He didn't just get the support he deserved. He got robbed.
Yes, it's too bad the DNC played it down the middle. Maybe we have reached a "tipping point" and from now on it's democratic socialism on the ticket!!!
"He didn't just get the support he deserved. He got robbed."
Worse! ... WE got robbed.
He's a socialist. It means higher taxes, more mandates. I'm a registered Democrat. I ain't voting for higher taxes.
FEEL THE BERN. HINDSIGHT 2020
Everyone loves Bernie! I love this man so much❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Cut the military's budget and pour it to a universal healthcare system it's fine time the military learns how to spend their money efficiently
PIZACLATON DDD you can't cut military budget, without that they lose everything
Bigolddragon Nahh it's just an illusion alot of shit in the military could have been bought with a lesser price if these war companies have a real competitor say the F35 for example that's just a stupid investment
What exactly so you think they would lose, and to whom??
Not necessary to link cuts to the military to healthcare. As Bernie said, the USA spends far more on healthcare per patient and gets less. Change the laws that prop up big pharma that restrict competition & you're half way there.
Medicaid/Medicare costs 1,088,333,851,247 USD
Defense/War costs 617,899,013,467 USD
You need a strong military to force weaker countries into not so favorable trade deals with them and also to counter the military power of China/Russia/Iran and prevent them from forcing others into trade deals that are bad for the USA.
This is the man.....!
*Finally a sensible politician, after Trump and Hillary..*
Call it a night..... I think we know who the next Democratic Presidential Nominee is going to be. BERNIE 2020!
Yep and it's the next morning so we're waking up to canvass, phone bank, volunteer and donate whatever we can to get him and his campaign over the line. We want such a huge victory that going in to that convention they just hand it to him without second thought! 🇺🇸😊
@@woodyfentress Bad news
Best guest you've had all summer!
Better Zip your pants. There is no way Bernie can take on Trump in 2020. My advice to Bernie to join the Muffet Show. That old man on the balcony has retired, Bernie is the right actor to take his place as the crunchy old man.
He's our HOPE to remove the corruption in the US. God bless you bernie.
Thank goodness we have Bernie Sanders
I appreciate Colbert's honest questions. He doesn't use big scary words but rather asks fair unbiased questions that lets the interviewee's shine when they tell the truth.
what a beautiful America it would be if he were president
ladybugmerringue and if we had progressive majorities in Congress.
yarnpower ohh yeah tht
Does socialism work though?
laybug: it can still happen :D
Donee@AwEs0me
It does if the 1% don't steal it from the rest of us. The corporatists are all about privatizing SS, Medicare, Medicaid, the VA, utilities, infrastructure, whatever should belong to the people.
THANK GOD, finally a mainstream media program makes an effort to actually represent Bernie's ideals fairly
I can’t believe I actually shed a tear at his walk in. So cringe…but this man is a genuine hero. He has given his LIFE to fighting for people and policies that he may not live to see become a reality. That selflessness and empathy is truly touching. I hope I can shake his hand one day.
I have so much love for this wonderful old man. Bernie, 2020!
He has 46th President written all over him. Let's rebuild the Democratic party and get to work!
Bernie 2020!!!!
gmmg 🤣🤣🤣
He will never be pres.
1. He's simply too old,
2. people don't actually like socialism, 15-22 year olds do, who have no idea what the fuck they are talking about.
3. Trump stands a good chance at being a two term pres.
gmmg
His approval rating is lower than trumps.
Q, do you have a source for that claim? If so, I'd like to see it.
He has prison written all over him. He refused to make a statement about the Russians helping him until he was pressured to do so, he is untrustworthy and a criminal.
