For sure. Bernie is progressive & Actually cares about everyone. Biden is stuck in the 50's with his views and vocabulary. America and the world Don't need someone like Biden who'll change nothing orelse he'll upset the status quo.
Republicans have been complimenting Bernie his entire career. Republicans gave Bernie all the credit for the passage of the 2013 bipartisan Veterans Bill. Bernie has always been widely complimented strongly on his job as mayor of Burlington by local republicans and doubters alike, in retrospect.
It should be noted that Vermont is a Red state made Blue only because Sanders caucuses with the Dems. Sanders is all about helping the little guy and hard working blue collar types (aka the Repub base). So it's not surprising at all that a Repub politician would support him. His real issue on the right is not having much of a reputation in Fly Over Country beyond what Fox reports on him. If he had the same relationship he has with Vermont voters, a lot of ruby red states would become purple if he lead the ticket.
Tom Riggle well he did establish what he promised in Burlington as mayor, and was elected 3 times int office with ever increasing support, making his enemies to support him. Those who tried to block his policies, were elected out of office by the his supporters, making the way free for him so he could make his promise to become true. And that’s what he is going to do in the US as well, kicking all corrupt corporate politicians out of office democratically, to make the way free for his policies. That’s what he said 2016 and is saying 2020, his movement that brings this change has only grown, because people are fed up with America’s corruption.

@@ChineseAmerican50 To answer in order: 1. Bernie's credibility comes from his overwhelmingly consistent political record. He was marching with the civil rights movement in the 60's, fighting gentrifying housing developements in the 80's, standing up for marriage equality in the House of Representatives in the 90's when Bill Clinton was signing the Defense of Marriage Act, Hillary Clinton was on tv saying "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman.", and Elizabeth Warren was a card carrying Republican. He was also opposing the Iraq War in the senate, around the same time senators Biden and Clinton were voting for it. 2. What has he done as a senator?; He voted against the Iraq War, he introduced legislation to compel the president to re-enter diplomatic talks with Iran. He introduced legislation to finally allow the federal government to negotiate drug prices, and allow the goverment to buy drugs at much cheaper prices from Canada. He introduced a bill with Elizabeth Warren (who later withdrew her support) to give every single person in the country medicare, a bill that's so popular it has him winning the Democratic primary and, according to current polling, beating Donald Trump in Texas. A lot of what he's introduced hasn't passed; the same thing is true of every other Democrat in the senate. Unlike almost every other senator he isn't voting for things like increases to the already absurd military budget. This is likely why a recent poll found him to be the most popular senator in the federal government. Another thing to keep in mind, when he left Congress in 2007, after 16 years in office, he had more bills co-sponsered with Republicans that had actually passed than any Democrat. He's actually pretty damn good at working bi-partizanly. 3.

What economic matters he has been done?: As mayor of Burlington, Bernie supported rent controlls on lower income areas and rejected developement proposals that would price people out of their neighbourhoods. As senator, he supported the Dodd-Frank amendment, which re-regulated Wall Street after tbe financial crash. Again, he's been working to lower people's healthcare costs for years, his platform would create an extensive federal jobs program to deal with unemployment, he's fought for a $15 mininum wage for years, he's marched with striking unions, his medicare-for-all would give unions more power since they would no longer need to negotiate for healthcare, etc. Hell, he managed to actually pressure the largest corporation in the country, Amazon, to give its workers a $15 minimum wage.
I'm Your President ‘left wing’ well yes, but a lot of American ‘left’ wing media has a vendetta against Bernie the same way much of the DNC do, for surely totally not corrupt reasons..
@@simonhowe8897 what you said had absolutely nothing to do with him passing policy. He wasn't a politician during the civil Rights era. And he definitely did not stand up for same sex marriage equality. All you are stating is beliefs and no policy's from him being a Senator and that's the problem. You haven't even dived into economics. And you do realize letting the government negotiate drug prices made them increase the negotiation only benefited military veterans. And using one poll is not presentative of all Americans you need to look at the aggregate notice how you don't go into detail that's its not just Medicare for all but FREE medicare.
@@simonhowe8897 and what do you mean you don't know what source can he get. If you want free medicare there needs to involve source material and funding. Finding we dont have. BTW taxes are pretty high and Vermont and there's still poor areas there. Burlington is not the only existing place there. And you gotta be truly idiotic to believe in the $15 minimum wage hike after seeing so many cities such as Seattle try it and fail. Ask yourself why that $15/hr never happened in Vermont
I know right? Even though student debt forgiveness, m4all, free college would transform the lives of woc and poc and ensure the next generation has real opportunities.
I love everything about Bernie but I had never seen his home before. I'm so impressed with the way Bernie lives pretty modestly among his constituents. Bernie walks his talk....I just couldn't love this guy more! Bernie2020!
@@JohnDavis-im1oy Bunch of nonsense. Bernie has 3 homes and every federal politician has 2, one in D.C. and one in their home constituency. Bernie's wife inherited a home when her parents died which is his third home. There is nothing wrong with this. And Bernie just recently became a millionaire only because he wrote a book which is apparently a crime to the right wing. Bernie is literally advocating to tax himself at a higher rate so there is no hypocrisy involved. As usual, when you dig into the details, attacks against Bernie are unsubstantiated.
People may be shocked to know he has 3 houses, but if you were to actually go and look at his 3 houses you will see they are very plain. They are houses most 80 year olds have, nothing fancy just typical family homes. Even his third house which is his "fancy" house is kind of ugly and most of it's value comes from the land. The only reason he was able to get his third house was because he sold a damn book. That is probably the most "friendly" way to become a millionaire. Calling out Bernie for being a millionaire (for selling a book) would be like calling out Anne Frank for being a millionaire had she survived and published her Diary.
@@JohnDavis-im1oy lol...they're hardly 'mansions' John. Google it. Bernie is probably towards the bottom of the scale when it comes to monetary wealth. Especially when compared with other politicians.
Not only will he be good in a practical aspect but also in a spiritual aspect. I truly believe his presidency will give good energy to the nation. I dont believe we will be some utopia but I do believe Americans will be more caring, less selfish, less hostile, and more unified if we have a president who champions those qualities.
Dat Mex, Drumpf* has clearly proven the opposite works onfortunately 😒😒😡😡. So I'm Truly hoping that Bernie can turn things around for America and show the world again that America is an example for how Democracy works.

@@pooh44100 He has 1 house and a D.C. apartment to avoid a 3 state commute to work. His WIFE also has a house that she bought from an inheritance after her mom died. If this lie is the best you can come up with, just give it up. lol
That is thanks to Bernie. It was a Republican city before Bernie got elected. The establishment democrats fought him tooth & nail too. He finally got his allies in and transformed the city for the better by a lot.
Bernie's legacy. Low income housing, free public wi-fi, beachfront property that is held in the public trust as 'conservation land'. Nearly Zero Urban sprawl, or post modern dilapidation. When Bernie was mayor he studied civil engineering and meticulously focused on details for drainage, and sewage systems when it rains in Burlington you can't find a puddle on the roads because Bernie wrote the rule book for the DPW and City Planning Commission. Burlington should change it's name to Bernington and his Library will be an international destination where people go fro all over the world to study civil administration and public policy.
He does not see the intersectionality of discrimination as a "sideline issue." Lady you are trippin. He's done more to fight for rights for people affected by those very overlaps of oppression than you probably have. And he's not directly afflicted by those things, yet he still fights for us. That's as genuine as it gets. To fight someone else's fight just because it's the the human thing to do.
@I'm Your President Ok, I'll name just one: Green New Deal for Public Housing Act- targets women of color (not just African American -especially single parents, native women & men, those seeking rehabilitation, previously incarcerated, homeless (which great encompasses people of the light community- especially the trans community), unemployed & underemployed, low-income people & families. It seeks to update low income & public housing, expand public housing, & making housing costs reflect the income of its surrounding communities, making zero emissions homes that have necessary appliances for reducing waste, implementing education programs to help said people attain diplomas, certification & associates degrees as well as expanding job programs, job training for jobs created by the green new deal to create a workforce to install & maintain eco friendly appliances, machines, energy systems etc. This bill helps to combat the system economic oppression & marginalization of people directly affected by intersectional discrimination. Lgbt, women of color & single parent households, homeless people/families, previously incarcerated, previously or currently battling addiction, those fleeing domestically hostile environments, immigrants & refugees. It seeks to empower communities from literally every intersectional overlap. And that's just one, very comprehensive bill!
@I'm Your President oh, & it seeks to upgrade & expanding housing units for people with physical & mental disabilities, upgrade the current public water system to ensure cleaner water with less waste from the housing establishments that utilize the water. It calls to seek the halt of corporate /business related pollution of our water system. It calls for solar panel roofing & to ensure that any construction of such housing & additions or upgrades be contracted to union supporting businesses within the community to avoid OUTSOURCING! idk about you but I love this bill.
@I'm Your President plus it includes federal grants for climate adaptation & emergency disaster response, and ensures that workers that contribute to the remodeling, upgrading, & repainting of housing & surrounding local community (city-bases) centers receive prevailing wages for their area, or $15 minimum wage. & here's a direct piece of his job & union protection legislation rolled into it: prohibit all contractors and subcontractors receiving grant funds from hiring employees through a temporary staffing agency unless the relevant State workforce agency certifies that temporary employees are necessary to address an acute, short-term labor demand; (VI) require all contractors and subcontractors receiving grant funds to have an explicit neutrality policy on any issue involving the organization of employees of the contractor or subcontractor, and all contractors and subcontractors, for purposes of collective bargaining;
@I'm Your President you asked me to name a bill & I did. I can't change your mind, but it's because you refuse to listen to facts. I can't help you anymore.
@I'm Your President You made no point. BTW, Bloomberg already admitted to disproportionately targeting minorities with stop and frisk. How are you still denying the evidence? You really don't care about being objective do you?
What? A major candidate from a major party gathering tens of thousands of supporters in the city where the newspaper is based is somehow newsworthy now?
Exactly. I mean I feel bad he basically won't be able to live there for years because Secret Service will take one look and go "Uhhhhh, no." But we'll return him eventually.
I highly doubt any of you are part of the low class or low middle class. That shit looks like it will cost 700 thousand dollars maybe a bit more then he owns multiple other houses/properties that are more expensive.

As a Vermont resident, I still smile when I see my Senator fighting like crazy for EVERYONE. I've met with him a few times. He is just Bernie...trying to get stuff done. I'm loyal to him til he passes, cuz I never wanna see him retire. Not his style. Be well, America...and it could be cheaper to have illnesses if Bernie was YOUR congressman. (But you could find your own hometown Bernie....try it!) Call me a jerk, but I'm voting Harris and not the Progressive 3rd party, as I WANT my senator here taking calls. Vermont is really just a small town and a decent sized state. Just visit...we're fun for a few weeks, then we go to work!
Interesting video! I love seeing the connection between the man and his community. I see so much negative Sanders coverage from MSNBC. It's nice to see a piece like this that helps get to know the person!
This is also a good article with so much info on him...I love the video Time Magazine did of him, inside is house...it is just a normal house in a normal subdivision www.thenation.com/article/archive/bernies-burlington-city-sustainable-future/

@@joseecheagaray7620 I support Bernie as long as he wins which he will. 2016 was Hillary's. 2020 will be Bernie. After AAP in Delhi and Sein Fein in Ireland, the Left will win.
he understands intersectionality quite well, in that one cannot understand material circumstances of marginalized groups without considering their class struggle. something the academics who talk about critical theory all day seem to gloss over when trying to justify capitalism-but-woke
Bernie sees them as all connected. He just knows that by focusing on economics, like MLK at the end of his life, you can more easily reach the kind of people who Obama won and either didn’t vote in 2016 General Election, voted 3rd party, or then voted Trump.
I LOVE Burlington and ALWAYS stop there on the drive between Boston and Montreal. The Waterfront (which Bernie helped protect from being turned into a rich asshole playground) is an amazing public place and a great place to interact with the Vermont community
discorperted just like the rest of the country, my guess is that the quality of Burlington will decrease as the years drag on. I wonder what would be causing that decline. Hmmm
Bernie registered me to vote on a street corner in Vermont many years ago, and we recited the Freeman's Oath together. I've known a few politicians through the years, but I trust Bernie.
@I'm Your President learn to read (and to write), dipshit. and it is rinoc when inbred morons like you talk about bias and perception bubbles. it's cute. also really dumb. now shoo farm troll! back to papa putin, where #45 gets his golden showers.
I have never been to Vermont but Burlington looks like a quintessentially American small town, looks nice I've seen many pictures of the capitol, Montpelier, which might be the most beautiful American town I've ever seen. Right on Vermont, right on Bernie.
Except that part where the lady thinks Bernie putting intersectionality issues as an “aside” even though Bernie was arrested for protesting segregation.
Ruben Espinoza oh yea lol well it is true that bernie isn’t an identity politician. Even tho the media and practically everyone is trying their hardest to get him to fall into that trap
There are a lot of Republicans who would agree with a lot of what he says, at least according to the polls where taxing the elites, M4A and stopping NAFTA and TPP ,putting money into infrastructure to give workers good quality work while at the same time making things run more efficiently are all popular with the right as well as the left. It's no longer a fight between the Left and the Right, it's a fight between the Up and the Down.
@@martam.5184 I'm 50 50. I can't see myself voting for a democrat because they emphasize their policies on gun control and sometimes banning "hate speech". However, Trump said "screw the due process" during an interview, and introduced a wealth tax in the early 2000s. It seems he wanted to be a president but not for what he believes in. I'm more of a Ted Cruz/Marco Rubio guy.
I've been to Vermont 3 times and I'm planning to go to there again this summer. I have to admit, it appears the vast majority of the people of Vermont love Bernie. Even an Airbnb I was inquiring about there admitted that much of the proceeds will be used for his campaign. The only Trump sign I saw was one hanging from a barn I saw while taking the train up there in 2017.
Bernie knows that the Canadian National Health Care System is what America deserves. You have got to get rid of the for profit idea in Health Care as it is your basic right above all others.
Most of the civilized world has a form of health care like Canada. The U.S. is nuts where people lose houses and go bankrupt over their health. Imagine how much cheaper it would be if you removed insurance companies from the system. They are just an expensive middle man raking in billions.
Bottom line is Canadians pay way less for health care and drugs then the U.S. The middle man (insurance companies) is the reason. Plus they buy everything in bulk.
To the woman who states that Bernie does not care about racism or intersectionality I would say he is the only one who truly cares about these issues. Instead of pretending to care and making PR moves, Bernie is fighting the system that has perpetuated and continues to perpetuate racism. Bernie is the only candidate who does not have these issues sidelined.
@@JohnStark72 That would mean no American is an American if born in another country. Bush43 isn't a Texan because he was born in Massachusetts. Howard Dean hometown would be Manhattan. Ridiculous.

Whenever I tell people I'm from Burlington, they jokingly ask if I know Bernie Sanders. Then they're in disbelief when I tell them that I would often run into him at the grocery store or on Church Street. So no, I don't know him, but Burlington is a very small city and our politicians act like everyday people! (I actually saw Congressman Peter Welch at a restaurant a few weeks ago. He gave me his chair as he was leaving since they had taken one from the table we were about to sit at earlier!)
Cheers Bernie from an Adirondacker!! We wish you could have been our Representative as well. Things would be so much nicer now. Alas, there is only one Bernard Sanders.

Again, he's been working to lower people's healthcare costs for years, his platform would create an extensive federal jobs program to deal with unemployment, he's fought for a $15 mininum wage for years, he's marched with striking unions, his medicare-for-all would give unions more power since they would no longer need to negotiate for healthcare, etc. Hell, he managed to actually pressure the largest corporation in the country, Amazon, to give its workers a $15 minimum wage.

@@JohnDavis-im1oy Bunch of nonsense. Bernie has 3 homes and every federal politician has 2, one in D.C. and one in their home constituency. Bernie's wife inherited a home when her parents died which is his third home. There is nothing wrong with this. And Bernie just recently became a millionaire only because he wrote a book which is apparently a crime to the right wing. Bernie is literally advocating to tax himself at a higher rate so there is no hypocrisy involved. As usual, when you dig into the details, attacks against Bernie are unsubstantiated.
People may be shocked to know he has 3 houses, but if you were to actually go and look at his 3 houses you will see they are very plain. They are houses most 80 year olds have, nothing fancy just typical family homes. Even his third house which is his "fancy" house is kind of ugly and most of it's value comes from the land. The only reason he was able to get his third house was because he sold a damn book. That is probably the most "friendly" way to become a millionaire.
Calling out Bernie for being a millionaire (for selling a book) would be like calling out Anne Frank for being a millionaire had she survived and published her Diary.

News flash. Issues of social justice are sidelines issues. We cant have social justice until we have economic justice
💯💯
Social justice and economic justice go hand in hand .
It's not like they're mutually exclusive. Hence the term socio-economic...
One could even say they're intrinsically linked.
Economic justice must always come first. Like MLK said “what’s the point of sitting at a lunch counter if you can’t afford the sandwich”.
Social justice - “justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society.” Economic justice is an extension of social justice. They are equally relevant in society.

He does not see the intersectionality of discrimination as a "sideline issue." Lady you are trippin. He's done more to fight for rights for people affected by those very overlaps of oppression than you probably have. And he's not directly afflicted by those things, yet he still fights for us. That's as genuine as it gets. To fight someone else's fight just because it's the the human thing to do.
@I'm Your President Ok, I'll name just one: Green New Deal for Public Housing Act- targets women of color (not just African American -especially single parents, native women & men, those seeking rehabilitation, previously incarcerated, homeless (which great encompasses people of the light community- especially the trans community), unemployed & underemployed, low-income people & families. It seeks to update low income & public housing, expand public housing, & making housing costs reflect the income of its surrounding communities, making zero emissions homes that have necessary appliances for reducing waste, implementing education programs to help said people attain diplomas, certification & associates degrees as well as expanding job programs, job training for jobs created by the green new deal to create a workforce to install & maintain eco friendly appliances, machines, energy systems etc. This bill helps to combat the system economic oppression & marginalization of people directly affected by intersectional discrimination. Lgbt, women of color & single parent households, homeless people/families, previously incarcerated, previously or currently battling addiction, those fleeing domestically hostile environments, immigrants & refugees. It seeks to empower communities from literally every intersectional overlap. And that's just one, very comprehensive bill!
@I'm Your President oh, & it seeks to upgrade & expanding housing units for people with physical & mental disabilities, upgrade the current public water system to ensure cleaner water with less waste from the housing establishments that utilize the water. It calls to seek the halt of corporate /business related pollution of our water system. It calls for solar panel roofing & to ensure that any construction of such housing & additions or upgrades be contracted to union supporting businesses within the community to avoid OUTSOURCING! idk about you but I love this bill.
@I'm Your President plus it includes federal grants for climate adaptation & emergency disaster response, and ensures that workers that contribute to the remodeling, upgrading, & repainting of housing & surrounding local community (city-bases) centers receive prevailing wages for their area, or $15 minimum wage.
& here's a direct piece of his job & union protection legislation rolled into it:
prohibit all contractors and subcontractors receiving grant funds from hiring employees through a temporary staffing agency unless the relevant State workforce agency certifies that temporary employees are necessary to address an acute, short-term labor demand;
(VI)
require all contractors and subcontractors receiving grant funds to have an explicit neutrality policy on any issue involving the organization of employees of the contractor or subcontractor, and all contractors and subcontractors, for purposes of collective bargaining;
@I'm Your President you asked me to name a bill & I did. I can't change your mind, but it's because you refuse to listen to facts. I can't help you anymore.
@I'm Your President You made no point. BTW, Bloomberg already admitted to disproportionately targeting minorities with stop and frisk. How are you still denying the evidence? You really don't care about being objective do you?

"He's sees intersectionality as a sideline issue...and that is a problem to me."
That's what makes him sane.
he understands intersectionality quite well, in that one cannot understand material circumstances of marginalized groups without considering their class struggle. something the academics who talk about critical theory all day seem to gloss over when trying to justify capitalism-but-woke
Bernie sees them as all connected. He just knows that by focusing on economics, like MLK at the end of his life, you can more easily reach the kind of people who Obama won and either didn’t vote in 2016 General Election, voted 3rd party, or then voted Trump.
She's wrong about that.

I'm a republican and dislike his policies, but he's been saying the same things from the 80s. It is nice to see politicians that are consistant.
Wanting for others what you have or crave is nothing to be disliked about.
What’s your opinion on the current president? Do you feel represented as a republican or not?
There are a lot of Republicans who would agree with a lot of what he says, at least according to the polls where taxing the elites, M4A and stopping NAFTA and TPP ,putting money into infrastructure to give workers good quality work while at the same time making things run more efficiently are all popular with the right as well as the left. It's no longer a fight between the Left and the Right, it's a fight between the Up and the Down.

@@martam.5184 I'm 50 50. I can't see myself voting for a democrat because they emphasize their policies on gun control and sometimes banning "hate speech".

I've been to Vermont 3 times and I'm planning to go to there again this summer. I have to admit, it appears the vast majority of the people of Vermont love Bernie. Even an Airbnb I was inquiring about there admitted that much of the proceeds will be used for his campaign. The only Trump sign I saw was one hanging from a barn I saw while taking the train up there in 2017.
Bernie knows that the Canadian National Health Care System is what America deserves. You have got to get rid of the for profit idea in Health Care as it is your basic right above all others.
Most of the civilized world has a form of health care like Canada. The U.S. is nuts where people lose houses and go bankrupt over their health. Imagine how much cheaper it would be if you removed insurance companies from the system. They are just an expensive middle man raking in billions.
Bottom line is Canadians pay way less for health care and drugs then the U.S. The middle man (insurance companies) is the reason. Plus they buy everything in bulk.
To the woman who states that Bernie does not care about racism or intersectionality I would say he is the only one who truly cares about these issues. Instead of pretending to care and making PR moves, Bernie is fighting the system that has perpetuated and continues to perpetuate racism. Bernie is the only candidate who does not have these issues sidelined.
Yes indeed, he’s our only hope. Go Bernie!
