Thank u from Norway. A country that some right wings calls a failing one. Where unemployment is under 2,5%, women participation is over 90%, healt care is absolutely FREE, education is FREEEEEEEEEE, the country has a TRILLION dollar surplus, the country has being ranged the best country to live in the last 10 years.
No poor in this country. And still the rich can get richer and the midel class is still their.
What car do you drive?
Well said!
How do you prevent the risk of the rich buying politicians?
Norway is a country filled with people who have a real ethical character. I learned living there what a remarkably honest culture that is there. They use most tax money to concretely make a difference in people's lives. USA is too often fear driven. Thinks it needs to spend more on its military than the rest of the world combined. President Eisenhower warned us early of this danger. 2/3 of discretionary expenditures now go to its military. A fact not well known by most USA citizens. Highly disproportionate for those seeking a just society for its citizenry. Not a good sign for a nation seeking to keep a moral compass in life. Still, there is hope through people with integrity like Senator Sanders and Secretary Robert Reich...
@@bbolin5626 A whole lot cheaper than you pay now AND it covers everything with no co-pays! Medicare is already being taken out of your check.....look at your paystubs.
Listening to these two restores a bit of my hope in american politicians ...
There's better. TULSI 2020 and Bernie.
Why not Andrew Yang?
unci narynin Really? Listen again
Why did Warren vote YES for TRUMP’s bloated military budget?
Carlos Lobo
She’s just a player in the game
It is still pitiful that in order to get laws through they have to be sneaked in.
Until the Citizen's United decision is reversed, we will have government of, for and by the corporations.
marc bell
No help from Liz there. She just signed up for a super pac in the primary
after saying she wouldn’t. What a surprise.
@@evolu9660 She needed to, we the little people could've gotten her nominated with our little donations but if she'd made it to the general election she would've needed that level of funding to win.
Warren for VP!
BIDEN WARREN!! 2020
We need more than the repeal of Citizens United but that would be a great first step.

I hate to say it but when Obama chose wall Street over main street it set us up for Trump. Because of campaign donations nothing was done to alleviate the burden on the working class and people reacted. This is not about Obama specifically. It's about the affect of big money in politics. Obama showed a lot of insight in his book that was lacking when he was wrapped up in the D.C. bubble. This is especially a problem for our presidents who are so insulated from the working class they fail to see the pain and anger. More people would vote if it benefited them.
I agree Obama was no friend of the working class. Trump is worse but so what, under both, the working class has been and is still being obliterated.
He completely put a horrible taste in alot of peoples mouths. It is a slap in the face to bail out a bank that was cheating the American people, completely leaving the people in debt and without homes. What did Wallstreet do with that money?
Obama was between a rock and a hard place, he had the choice of either going after the corrupt bankers or save millions of jobs of the working class. It was a tough decision, so he allowed the bail out. Bankers got away, but job loss was minimal. Still a great President!
With Obama it's important to recognize just how much power the republicans already had and while Obama was well meaning he was too weak to resist the republican power.
I have decided to believe that there are many other people like Senator Warren and Secretary Reich.....we need more of them to be active and to to run for office. I am going to #stepup
It could have been Sanders/Warren in 2016 if she had supported Bernie instead of Hillary.
@Kaveighleen Jacaster If she had supported Bernie Sanders, whe wold have been less discredited.
We all need to be nore active
Hey I understand that Sanders mother and father didn't get to America until the 1900s and he talked against reparations for slavery and Jim Crow and Peonage, Black code laws and Housing Discrimination and Massive incarceration ,lynchings and then he said's what do you mean by reparations ? But America paid reparations to the Jews and I don't know why ?? America paid the Native Americans and the Japanese Americans. America rebuilt Europe under the Marshall plan and Japan.
America is built on the bones Slaves. American Descendants of Slavery A.D.O.S standing in the shoes of the Slaves never forget the Slaves never #A.D.O.S
She's so smart, definitely inspiring going into Finals to hopefully get into Berkeley Law after I graduate.
Jesus Alejandro Cazares I hope. you make it
here they are our 2 favorite college professors who rose from humble roots and truly understand and can articulate what needs to be fixed in our current money driven system.....let's hope the message gets through to those who would benefit from these policies yet still continue to vote against their interests...
Warren has forgotten her roots I have seen nothing but excuses from all of them
@@ghostnoodle9721 There is always a naysayer...
This is why Trump “loves the uneducated “. Elizabeth and Robert ❤️
Robert Reich’s return to the public stage brings a light to shine in the darkness of the nightmares that Donald Trump has brought us!
this darkness will never leave you....
This lady understands the average joe and genuinely wants fairness for us. Why would you disagree with this? Name calling is not an aurgument.
Old white women people disagree with this because they believe that they can be rich so screw the next person! Which translates into voting against ones own interests!
She does care about the average joe in some ways but she doesn’t any to change the current system that has been screwing us. Of course if Bernie was not running I would support her no question. However, for me healthcare, including mental health, is one of the most important issues and her proposal is not good enough for me. That is one of the reasons I support Bernie instead of her.
@@Crisfer05 we must change the existing system to match our already changing country narrative! And I'm an old fart saying this! Thanx for ur sensible answer! Now I understand why Warren's beating Bernie! The problem is, Warren represents a past and gone America! We must move forward! But I get it that Warren is less threatening to boomers then Bernie is! Where perhaps buden us too status quo for old liberals!,still I wish Bernie or yang would get the democratic nomination! Cuz I dont think Warren can beat trump?
I love this woman. Warren/Sanders or Sanders/Warren 2020!
I wish I could like this comment 1000 times. : )
Hi Purple, what? Old and Older! White and Whiter! Besides Bernie's seething anger wouldn't play well with actually trying to put together a Working White House. It would be Tails to Trump's Heads. We would only have the Opposite Kind of Government that can't get out of its own way. Warren would need to run the show. She is a proven Administrator, where Bernie can work up a crowd... even Trump can work up a crowd, and what good does it do. And Warren should find a Young Black Woman from the South that could energize all the thousands of Young Black Women with Degrees that have gone into Social Work and Teaching. Black Women need to believe that in 8 years the President of the United States will be a Progressive Black Woman. Think of the Energy there. But, Bernie? He's already History. Tails to Trump's Heads. Not something to be proud of, is it?
Yes!
Sanders is finished running................
Hi Fred, Good! Maybe Sander is not such a self-absorbed narcissist after all, and realizes that For The Good of Humanity, at this crucial time in our History, we simply have to Win As Big As Possible. That is what Hillary did not appreciate, that even if she won her victory would be at best marginal and thereby not worth half a tin-plated phuque. WHOEVER runs needs to bring on board a multitude of zealous, tireless, but well-spoken, and, yes, even Soft Spoken Grassroots Volunteers that can knock on every door in America and Win what will be a Charm Offensive for the Progressive Movement. And, as far as my discernment can envision such a possiblity, that means that the Lion's Share of Volunteers should be Women. Imagine this: you are sitting at your computer table watch Cat Videos, when, Knock, Knock, Knock. You tippytoe to the door (you don't need to tell anybody whether or not somebody is home, right?) and look through the peep hole. If its a MAN.... hmmmm, do I feel in the mood for a good Home Invasion? Nope. and you wait for the guy to get tired of bruising his knuckles and to go away. BUT, if it is a Woman (and in many neighborhoods it wouldn't matter about whether White or Black, but even most Racists don't see Black Women as threatening... thank you Oprah), well, that's different. the worst that can happen is you get a Religious Tract which is why you keep a trash bin close to the door . People open doors for Women. We need Women. Now, yes, guys can volunteer too. What for? Well, the Right Wing Fascists would probably want to physically intimidate the Progressive Door to Door Canvassers. Male Progressives could simply accompany the Female Volunteers to the Neighborhoods and hang back out of sight and keep an eye out for the safety of the Women. And the guys can Lick Stamps and address envelopes and that kind of stuff... and get on Lists for taking Meals to the Elderly and arranging to drive them to their Polling Stations and stuff like that.
This is the kind of of VP we need !!! Thank you Warren
The mid terms are in, and the Progressive Movement has officially started.
This conversation is what is so awesome about this country. Optimism + Hard Work + Compassion for ALL = a democracy that works for everyone.
in your dreams maybe ^^
Yeah, pretty sure this is an oligarchy dude
She said a word that I never thought of as beautiful, that word is accountability.
Robert your quote at the end, makes me tear up. Literally
If you vote for Elizabeth Warren you need to take responsibility for the programs she wants we have a debt so big it defies belief because of democrat handouts that we leave to our children take accountability by sending half your income to the government to pay for the handouts she wants otherwise we add it to the debt our children will have to pay for vote out handout democrats before it's to late
Back in the 60's My dad supported a 7 person family on one income. We always had a roof, food, transportation, & clothing.... etc... One income Bob. Mom took care of the kids...
Steve.....Same here. And we traveled plenty around the country. Five kids screaming in the '57 Chevy. Dad driving, Mom trying to keep the peace.
Hi Steve, One problem, ironically enough, was Woman's Lib and Women Demanding Equality in the Workplace. In response to the Demand that Women and Men get Equal Pay, the answer was to pay men less, ... it happened slowly, as wages for men stagnated while the pay for women climbed. but after 30 years, when you look at the final result, NOW it takes Two Pay Checks to do what One Paycheck used to do. Women went from Augmenting a Families Income to being a Necessary half of Family Income. Did anybody get what they wanted? Women wanted to be able to Choose to work, but now its not even a choice anymore, is it? Woman's Lib took Women's Freedom Away and lead to them being shackled into the bondage of Wage Slavery. They would need a Woman's Liberation Movement to free them from what they had gotten into with their Woman's Liberation Movement. Life is full of paradoxes, isn't it?
Yes indeed! & isn't it ironic... this is what we end up with... :( What ever happened to the good old days???
Hi Steve, Not all of it was good. The Blacks think they have it hard NOW! And the Real Unspoken Issue of Woman's Lib is that Women were forced by Necessity to Marry in order to gain a livelihood. Really, Jobs like School Teacher and Librarian were for 'Old Maids'. In Catholic Countries, if it looked like it would be impossible for a daughter to find a husband, the father would have to come up with a dowry (a payoff) so that some Religious Order would take the girl on as a nun, because it would be unseemly to keep a daughter in the house forever. Reading Literature from the 19th Century will tell you that women were literally desperate to marry before they would lose their looks. It wasn't Love and the urge for Romance, no, it was sheer economic necessity. I don't know why on earth Woman's Lib never expressed it in those terms -- that they didn't want Equality with Men, but the possibility of Independence from Men. But now nobody is independent of anybody in a world where not even 2 paychecks can handle all the bills.
Thanks Leo Volont.☺ Kinda depends on whether Women taking control of Their lives instead of war-first men is the Way to go, no?😁
#WarrenReich2020 ! ! ! The choice is simple. Make it happen.
Campaign finance reform, healthcare, environment, anti-corruption. No platitudes. Keep it simple. Clear.
all buzzwords, no substance.
@@FastlaneProductions1 Yeah, just like "Make America Great Again" and "Manifest Destiny".
Thank you so much Elizabeth and Robert. Watching this has has given me hope when I was very down about this country. Great love to you both.
Two communists that wants to reward being lazy and punish hard work
I actually hope she will run again for 2024. Bernie is a bit too idealistic, Cortez is too young and Biden is too old. I feel Warrent would actually be able to beat DeSantis quite easily. Her commitment to corporate justice is beyond question and her pursuit for real change is well known.
@@fritzforsthoefel8031 It seems to me that the lazy ones are rewarded (through investing) and the hard workers are living pay check to pay check.
Elon musk puts in seven day work weeks doctors puts in sixty hour work weeks white collar jobs puts in more than forty hour work weeks business owners put in long hours
@@fritzforsthoefel8031 Elon Musk CLAIMS he works a lot. But considering just how much time he spends attending events, gaming and on twitter that claim is very dubious.
Elizabeth Warren and Robert Reich, these two are national treasures.
We're so lucky to have both of them.
Wish these videos would be on public tv so that more people would understand what is broken. This is a wonderful exchange of ideas! THANK YOU!
Elizabeth Warren really ought to be the President.
She actually can do more as a Senator. She would only be able to work as president if the Democrats held both the Senate and the House.
Yes, you're right. I just meant that she is fully qualified to be Pres -- in every way: passion, smarts, experience. She deserves the office, and we deserve her. But we shall not get it, alas.
Donna Knipp ... I agree with you. She would make an amazing president one we all deserve like you said. Unfortunately the dark forces would do everything in their power to destroy her (republicans & the wealthy), But, maybe ... just maybe the younger generation coming up will help us fight against the evil in our country brought about by Trump & the top 1% by voting and fighting for our rights & not setting out the elections coming up & in 2020. Hopefully what is happening in & to our country is a wake-up call. That it's a constant fight to maintain a government by the people. This war is & never will be completely over but battles can be won.
I appreciate your positive outlook, Cosmic Voyager. I agree that we have to keep finding ways to fight back.
What a stark contrast there beteen Clinton and Warren - the Democrats have themselves to blame for the Trump disaster.
Absolutely brilliant, thank you. 👏🏼
Louie Brant Hood (sp?) the great justice of the gilded age "We have a choice we can either have great wealth in the hands of a few, or we can have a democracy, but we can't have both" Being a Progressive is something both parties do, not just one side. The last time we kicked out the 1% we had to come together then too....let's do it. Now. Time is running out...
Capitalism is the most polarized lifestyle that is available. When you need workers they won't do anything without capital that is incentive to work.
But when the rich look at the system they don't want to give that to the people. So democracy has to be trimmed and refined to a point that gives a person, rich or poor, want to be in the success of their organization, honour and dedication, something that is lacking these days
Louis Brandeis
Warren is a Trap, former Republican, truth bender and for sale. We can have true guaranteed progressive victory with Bernie or we can hope for the best with Warren. There is a clear best decision there.
Bernie is unelectable. But keep helping Trump. I’m sure he appreciates it.
Robert Reich, Thanks a lot for bringing here Elizabeth Warren, and for this insightful conversation. I saw it before when it came out, and now revisiting I can not believe it got to 53,000 views and 1.5K likes!
All I have is ❤️ for both of these honest, passionate people.
I wish Elizabeth the very best .I've heard there are more DC lobbyists than members of Congress.
I just love Senator Warren. She reminds me of every favorite teacher I've ever had.
seashell1286 Yes! That's exactly it! I've been trying to put my finger on it and you nailed it. And she is a great teacher. Everytime she speaks I learn something.
She reminds me of a scumbag who lied about being Native American in order to get into college.
Wow! That was awesome! So cool!
She's simply awesome. She'd make a great first woman President. She's highly intellectual, a humanitarian, just a good human being in general, pretty much everything that the current administration is not! We need her and more like her in public office.
The story about her mother is so powerful...she should tell it as often as she can. it really highlights everything that is wrong about the changes happening over the last 3 decades. A mother with three kids working a minimum wage job today is unsustainable (and a father who had a heart attack, my god the medical costs today would crush them!) Do corporations think stressing families to the breaking point is going to help the country? No...it helps their profits at the cost of human life and happiness.
I consider myself an Elizabeth Warren Democrat!
Why
Are you related to Thom Hartman?
josh maeder his name is spelled hartmann
Thea Hartman yes I agree. What didn’t like is in her narrative telling me to “ look.” That’s always bothered me. Not just her.
ur a communist
7:33 - Corruption
Yeah, Warren nailed it!
Too bad she's taking money in the general.
"if we should be so blessed" was enough for me
Hopefully, Elizabeth will be elected president, and professor Reich will be her no. 1 advisor.
If ya don’t change this current system this country is finished
Reich and Warren for president!
Hi David, Yes, Warren, but I would put a Young Southern Black Woman Progressive on the Ticket with her (to get about a million Grass Roots Activists that would donate their time for the election campaign... mostly from Atlanta, but their are zillions of still young Black Women with Poli-Sci Degrees that went into Social Work that would turn into Zealots for some Future Black Women Progressive President, whose career would start now as VP.
Leo Volont -- that is the exactly absolutely right answer.
Hi yvOnne yvOnne, Well, I can't remember the last time anybody said that to me. thank you.
Most people I know can't afford hearing aids, can't afford glasses, and definitely can't afford a dentist-ever. You just learn to live without these things. Oh, and can't afford to go to the doctor and definitely can't afford any testing for detecting or preventing disease. No, Its a lot for most people I know to just pay rent, utilities, auto insurance, and food. It takes all month to pay for these things and then suddenly, the next month rolls around with a day or two break if that and it starts all over again. Rent, utilities, auto insurance, and food. etc etc etc. Man. It would be weird to have extra money for most people I know. Foreign even.
sad but true.
I shake my head when I see these "experts" advise people on how to economize and how much to save for retirement. "Eat out less often" Really? I'm already eating out " never"! And how do you save when you need every dollar to pay for food, medicine, gas, electric, heat? Then you think you're a little bit ahead, and your property tax goes way up and you have to pay on a credit card. I already ONLY buy clothes at thrift stores. If I try to work more than the 6 days a week I'm doing, I get sick from fatigue.
It is so different to see someone who actually let's his guests talk. Especially Elizabeth Warren. 2020 is her year . Go for it lizzy
These two people are national treasures.
These changes need to happen before we are all dead. I need to see these changes take place, and I need to see these corrupt SOBs in prison or sleeping on the streets with the homeless so they understand.
I wish they would adopt me and be my parents
What a great woman!
Golda here. Awesome energy between brain n heart, Robert n Elisabeth...exhilarating.
My hope for America (and the rest of the World) is that Trump is so anti-democratic that he will cause a democratic backlash from the American population that will involve more people voting and more (new) people standing for election (from both parties).
We took back the house in mid-term election, and now have a check & balance to Cheeto Von Tweeto! Thank you God and for democrats who took the time to vote!
I always say, if you don't go and vote, you have no right to complain about the government.
Absolutely correct!!!🌟
"Will they Vote, Will they Vote!!!!!!" That was the MOST important part!!! We the People NEED TO VOTE!!!!
Vote out democrats before it's to late
Just saw this video. I am from Iowa and what you said about Grassley is the Grassley I used to appreciate; no more.
Agreed, we need to make sure that Rich Corporations don’t take advantage of the poor.
Corporations are taxed three times at the federal level
Make elections short, cheap, off the TV, and give us a paid holiday to vote...to celebrate voting. The countries that do, have a 80% turnout.
In New Zealand Election Day has always been a Saturday and has been since at least the 1960s.
Two great intellectuals who represent some of the best people who actually care about average Americans.
This is where the future of politics must go. The under 30 know. We don't need billions to run a campaign. If we don't need the money to run a campaign, it takes the power away from the rich and gives that power back to the people....middle class.
But muh free market. Durr hurr derpety derpety doo!
That intro right there tells you why the Free Market in some cases doesn't work and why you need regulation.
Thanks sprybug.☺
I think Senator Warren would do a lot to fix what is wrong with this country! Warren 2020!
Melias Clarkson Turner who?
Warren was part of the DNC's rig against Sanders. Came out too late and on the wrong side. She chose her political future over doing what was right.
Sanders was not rigged........................
Hi Lenard, Life is complicated. One way to look at it is that Berrnie Sanders handed the election to Donald Trump. but, yes, another way to look at it is that, if we survive that long, that Trump will engender so much zealous opposition that we will have a vigorous Progressive Movement take power. How many years will the Progressives simply be undoing the damage created by Trump. and it would take a Constitutional Amendment to somehow get rid of all of Trump's right wing judges (where in the Constitution does it say that the Judicial Branch is the one Branch of Government that would get no oversight, but that it would have supreme and omnipotent power over the other branches of Government. All those Powers and Prerogatives came to the Judicial Branch because the Judges asserted the claim and there was not sufficient push back. We had always just trusted that nobody would ever appoint Anti-Government Anti-People Judges. Now the problem is clear enough).
PhoebeFay RuthLouise oh bullshit. Warren is a pathetic liar and a shill. She supported Clinton in the election, lied about the rigged primaries, tried to pass ridiculous hearing aid regulations that would have hurt the people who need them most, not to mention her using her so-called "native american" heritage to score political points. If Elizabeth Warren is a progressive, she is a pretty poor excuse.
I would NEVER vote for someone so disingenuous, and full of shit.
A similar talk with Bernie Sanders would be interesting.
If Bernie Sanders isn't the democratic nominee for 2020 I want her to be. I think she's amazing. She really understands what america needs to do to restore balance.
It's such a shame what she did in the 2020 primaries... Her legacy will be breaking the progressive movement and selling out.
Then she says the DNC should overturn the will of the people and elect their corporate candidate in his place because she lost the nomination.
@David Powell I would have considered her for VP at one point. Now I like Steyer
Trouble is, we don't live in a Democracy. It's a Constitutional Republic!
Thank you.
Sanders/Warren 2020.
" Both are supremely unqualified."
- According to who?
warren maybe okay. sanders is totally hypocracy and push over. Sanders is the 1%, he has 3 homes, book deals. He totally let hilary step all over him.
Warren/Sanders 2020. Sanders whether anybody has noticed cannot win because he is Jewish. Wish that bigotry would go away but it has not.
Sanders, another politicians who lied to you, another politicians who abandoned his principles just to oppose Trump. Remember how Bernie campaignes against the rigged system, and the politicans who could be bought off buy special interests. Well in the end Bernie ended up endorsing shillary Clinton, the candidate who received more money from lobbyists than any other candidate. The candidate whose main donor was the financial institutions. Go ahead vote for Sanders, he's probably going to be another Obama, so don't be surprised to find out you have been dupes by another Democrat.
SinsofIgnorance : Their both push overs. It's not just Sanders whose the push over, both are. In fact their wolves in sheep's clothing.
Thank you. Please run with Warren for President.
I am biased. But, this conversation seems so from the heart. No hollow questions followed by rehearsed answers; simply a sincere discussion. Is right now our best opportunity to save our country, our families, our democracy? Two very intelligent people. I'm hopeful, but worried. Democrats, turn your backs on corporate money, face the people, our nation's workers. THEY/WE are the ones who will make this country great again. We have the strength in numbers. A clear majority of Americans feel that American workers are under assault. More votes trumps more money. Be brave!
I love her intellect. She is more adept at seeing economic forces playing out in this country.
She's cliche in her statements about wealth but then she will explain the capital market system. I love it.
So the only reason hearing aid reform got through is because big business didn't stop it in time?
That's extremely disheartening. That means big business is more powerful than senators.
Will the non voters get off their asses and vote? Give us somebody worthy of our vote and we will... I've often wondered about what the results of including "None of the Above" on the ballots would be?
"none of the above" would thin the herd.
Im in tears!
I am impressed both Robert and Elizabeth bot agree corruption is in both party's.
❤️
oh, how far she fell...
Elizabeth is brilliant. It would be fantastic if she becomes President and Robert took on some sort of role in her government.
Thank you🙏 Senator.
Elizabeth Warren is far more articulate than I have heard her before ... that is damn inspiring.
Professor, please get Tulsi Gabbard on this series!!!!! She's a more true progressive than Warren by miles...
The Orange Boys they’re both kind of progressive. Bernie is the real progressive candidate
Warren is a fake progressive. Didn't she vote, along with 3 other democrats, to give 80 Billion dollars to Trump for the military? She's a capitalist! Bernie and Tulsi are the true progressives
Enjoyed listening to this important conversation. Today's politics reminds me of the book "It can't happen here" by Sinclair Lewis written in 1936.
Love you both!
Go to last weeks 60 minutes where they talk about pharmaceuticals and the corruption there ... this is intolerable, there are way more criminals in charge of things than good people, and the good people are going to have to stand up and get serious if we want to change that around.
I hope she runs for president in 2020. We need a minority in the White House!
applaud the sentiment, but you do realize women are the majority, right?
Yes, someone with Native India heritage would be great!
@@jeffreymond7905 she is barely Native American, my God, the 2nd somebody is a smidgen Native American they all of a sudden become Pocahontas or Sitting Bull, She's mostly white ya moron!
That's what working people need , is the Government on your side , and with you , not just on wages and good jobs , but on many other issues , affordable housing , health , child care , schools , etc . !
#WarrenReich2020
Elizabeth Warren for Senate Majority Leader!
be a shame to lose Bernie and Liz from the senate
Robert Reich and Elizabeth Warren! Fantastic!
This is why I love that woman. She gets us!
From Robert quoting Louis Brandeis, and I paraphrase here, "we either have great wealth in the hands of a few, or we have a democracy, we can't have both." Robert said that Brandeis could not have anticipated the present moment, our second Gilded Age, if you will, but I wonder. Maybe he did understand enough of human nature to know that it could happen again. And, even if we survive this present attack on American democracy, which I think we can, the fight is never over. The rise of fascist, even Nazi organizations is chilling, but when people are hurting, they trend the wrong way, and someone is always there to take advantage. If people don't understand how we got here, the answer is simple, humans are in charge. None of us are close to perfect, except maybe Elizabeth Warren, but all of us need to commit to being better people, love and help thy neighbor, it feels good, not like all this hate, it doesn't make anyone feel good. And while I'm at it, overturn Citizen's United, pass it on.
I generally like what Elizabeth Warren has to say but I do not understand how someone so opposed to corruption could support Hillary Clinton for President
cuz of disinformation.
I don't accept that excuse from politicians. Their job is to be informed.
I don't understand why people don't like Warren. Policy. Who cares about some stupid stuff people did in the past. I've done more than my share of stupid stuff. If we can get enough people with similar policy that want to PROGRESS and fight for the WOKRING CLASS, it's a win.
Hi 8bitmagic, Who doesn't like Warren? Just the Trump/Fox Republican Base. But don't most Progressive Dems like Warren? Yes, Bernie Sanders has a lot of Nuts that don't like anybody, but even Bernie can't control his Anarchist Bomb Throwing Haters. Normal Sane none-bomb throwing Progressives love Warren.
Sanders/Warren ♥️🇺🇸 dream ticket!
Hi Paddle Duck, Your "Dream Ticket" is Old and Older, White and Whiter. And it puts a Grotchy Old Man who doesn't socialize well at the head of the ticket in the Year of the Woman in Politics. And it completely ignores the momentum of the Black Grass Roots Movement which is mobilizing over Police Brutality and an increasing level of Social Bigotry. SO! The Ticket doesn't need a Man, especially one that PROVED he was no coalition builder. Bernie had his chance and proved he couldn't out organize the most Unpopular Politician in American History (that is, before Trump), Hillary C. It would be crazy to give him another opportunity to fail. Liz Warren is Great. Find a Black Woman from the South to join with her. The Dems could then use the Vast Grass Roots Movements of both the Progressive White Women and all those Young Black Social Workers and School Teachers -- educated with college Degrees -- articulate and knocking on every door of the Country. Oh, and what would Bernie use for Grass Roots Activists -- those Window Breaking Anonymous Masked Men and those Antifa Car Burners. We need Nice Soft Spoken and Intelligent People for whom People would not be afraid to open the door and talk too. Bernie's Bomb Throwers would not fit the bill.
I love Elizabeth Warren but hardly any of my liberal New York friends want her to be the nominee. They like her as a senator, but they are afraid of her as the nominee for Prez. They think she will scare off the money -- they think the same about Bernie -- and they think we can't win without a lot of money. I don't know how I feel about that. I believe Bernie could win with small donations, like Obama did. Bernie has a track record of success in that regard. (I don't know about Warren -- did she win the Senate seat with mostly small donations? Anyhow, funding a statewide seat is very different from funding a 50-state election.) It's daunting to do it with small donations, but it can be done. Obama succeeded because there was tremendous enthusiasm and excitement at the idea of getting a black President and everybody wanted to be a part of it -- even if it meant they could only send $40. Bernie succeeds at it because of his history and political charisma. Could Warren do it? I don't know. I'm old enough (barely) to remember Eugene McCarthy. He was a great high-minded man but he was a disaster for the Democrats -- that's how we got Nixon. Also, there's the sexism among the big-money donors. The banks would grudgingly donate to Bernie (less than to Trump, but they would give Bernie something, just to have some sway over him), but they might not donate at all to Warren, purely out of sexism. They would think that they could "work with" Bernie because he's a man, but not with Warren because they don't trust women. They think women are less malleable because they don't have any stake in belonging to the "boy's club." As a result women are more likely to dig in and take a stand on principal, and men with money don't like that. It's not fair, it's sexist, and Warren doesn't deserve it, but that's the fear that many Dems have about her. They fear she would be another Eugene McCarthy. I don't know how I feel about it. I am more confident that Bernie could win. I am very confident of that, actually. Bernie could absolutely win -- he would generate tremendous excitement. Many many Dems don't like him, though.
Tamila I don't think caring for people who aren't rich, the people who keep this whole machine called the economy running is an act of kindness. Call it what you will. It's sad you are fighting the fight for the rich and powerful when you talk like you do. The real crime is the rich need people like you to fight for their values.
Again , a clear , honest, believable narrative !
Sorry, what is a narrative ? WHAT IS THAT ?
May be its saving your country what you mean.....wake up
Watching this on Super Tuesday. Why hasn't this video been scrubbed?
So many esl trolls. Warren has heart.
Warren 2020!
President Elizabeth Warren... It has a nice ring to it, and she is qualified for the job. Her credentials speak for themselves, she was an economics professor at Harvard, and is the best line of defense against the crud that is in office now.
The hearing aid story is a hopeful example of how we can truly help people. The benefits of this sort of this far outweighs the greedy option of overpricing hearing aids.
OMG!! Imagine her as President!! Land of opportunity......let's keep it that way!
This is a bit overly cute but absolutely correct...
i would like to see the last seconds of the video. How do I remove the 4 recommended/related videos st the end?
I shouldn't really comment because I'm not American, but I think she'd be great for the world in general if she was president
This is all well and good, but the bottom line is it's a result of the USA being locked into a two-party system, where BOTH look out for the party before everything else. We need 90% of voters to be nonpartisan!
Joe DeFacto we only argue about the same 3 things so nothing will ever get done
Bernie 2020!!! Warren still needs to prove herself, Bernie already has for the past 40 years
100%! Bernie has receipts. Bernie has been consistent. Bernie takes no big money and owes no favors. Bernie is for the people. Warren is the next best maybe....but still too wishy washy and that's on purpose so she can back out of Medicare for all! She's NOT the progressive that Bernie has always been. Maybe Bernie/Warren would work, but I prefer Bernie/Nina or Bernie/Tulsi 🔥
If they both join as a team, my god can you imagine the many wonderful things that could happen?? Warren would bring down political corruption and Reich could finally pull us out of debt again!
Reich's ideas would add to our debt that is already so big it defies belief free free free let our children pay the debt we run up will you pay half your income to the government to pay for the handouts they want
Bernie and Warren 2020
Breaking news Trumpster speaks and crap comes out !
