Diference between narcissistic people like Trump and people like Bernie, the former wants all the credit for them and is all about them personally the later, loves to praise the people that helped them and is all about the people, not them personally.
@David Winehouse Stop it, again. You have again put a negative "spin"..."out of business now:...on Ms. Ellis' decision to stop knitting mittens herself, considering she is the mother of a young child as well as a school teacher who loves her profession. There have already been mentions of continuing the knitting other ways. And, even a mention about adding similar socks. "Out of business" is simply more inappropriate spin from you. You are either again writing as you chose to because you are uninformed and did not care about being accurate...or...you are again deliberately lying to take away well-deserved credit for rather fabulous good works for fine VT non-profits. Sen. Sanders also designated all profit (already reaching nearly $1.8 million) from t-shirts and sweatshirts featuring his inauguration meme to several VT charities, including Meals on Wheels. When Ms. Ellis told us her Mother had benefited from MOW services, it was yet another delightful connection to what is certainly among the best of this young year's "feel good" stories. No matter your negative spins.
@David Winehouse Stop it. It seems to me there are two options about your post. One is that you just have not been paying enough attention re "Bernie's mittens" and are simply uninformed about the wonderful project initiated by 2nd grade teacher, Jen Ellis, also the talented mitten maker. If that's the case, you still posted anyway . Two is that you are intentionally lying to cast shade for some reason. And, posted anyway. "High Taxes" have not been in any conversation I've heard or read about regarding the lovely gift by both Ms. Ellis and Sen. Sanders to outstanding non-profits in VT.
When talking politics, not once does he talk about himself, nor does he spend his time criticizing the other party. His focus is on the people, and helping out those who are suffering. That is exactly what a politician should do. A politician's job is to serve the communities that elected them. Not the other way around.
You are both so, so correct! He is an amazing human being who serves selflessly. I have a good feeling about people who recognize him for who he truly is and don’t get caught up in the many falsehoods that others use to label his career.

In the States, you can't even afford to die. I won't be going back. I'd go broke paying for my healthcare.
Yea, very true :( Pity he was thrown under the bus during the run up. Still, he is in a great position of authority now and it will be great to see what he does from here on out.
Not an American, but I was heartbroken when he dropped from the race. To Biden’s credit, he’s been charged with a very important role in the Administration
The civilized countries can scarcely believe that not only does the U.S. not have universal health care but also that so many of its citizens have been brainwashed into thinking that social benefits are some kind of devilish plot to control their lives. Why aren't more Americans aware that people in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and most of Europe are much happier because they have a social safety net and that they aren't burdened by ruinous taxes?
It's crazy to me that one of the richest Country in the World, has the highest rate of deaths. We must impeach Chump, he can't become President again!! Once has cost us enough lives, with no regret on his part....
Exactly, I don’t understand, they rather paid $600 a month per family and 10k or 20k deductible. Than an increase on their taxes that would probably be $100 a month increase. I just don’t understand 🤷🏻♀️
A lot of my family members live in rural areas and most of them are republicans. One of the main reasons behind them still being republicans (in spite most of them hating trump) is that a lot of them make too much money to qualify for medicare, but not enough to pay the inflated costs of health insurance for people who live further away from hospitals. People who live in rural places are cheated where healthcare is concerned, and a lot of them actually blame obama for not doing enough with the ACA, and they think that democrats are too passive to actually follow through with implementing universal health care, and honestly I can't entirely disagree with that. So instead of supporting democrats, a lot of them were willing to follow along with republicans in the vain hope that trump's initial promise to make a healthcare plan better than obama's actually paid off.
Bernie is a meme, not because people were laughing at him, but he's a meme because he is the quintessential everyman, always thinking about everyone else instead of himself. We love you Bernie!
I wasn't entirely sure what made that a meme and I was genuinely concerned people were laughing at him for some reason I didn't understand. Now I'm genuinely relieved that it was more innocent and fun-loving, because Bernie Sanders deserves a great deal of respect. He's an extraordinary champion of the everyman.
Exactly. That's because corporations are running this country. I love Obama and Biden but Bernie is what we need. I just hope that some real change can happen right now.
I am not even American but the amount of respect and admiration I have for Bernie is tremendous great Human being with integrity. For the second time I am surprised why Americans didn't vote him in for president.
There were so many of us that wanted him for president, but I’m skeptical about who has control in the Democratic party... the arena appears to only serve centerists like Biden.
American plutocrats well fund conservative media to seduce people to vote against their way interests, so sadly no it is no surprise he is not president, and that Biden is about as liberal a president we're going to get for now.
Bernie: becomes a meme again and has a chance to be self centered about it Also Bernie: let me give credit to the kind lady who made these mittens I love this dude so much
@@cat-.- This. I kind of wish he would have drilled that mantra into people's heads a little harder, because it seems like when he lost it fractured the left more than it should have. It's not about him, what he started can't be allowed to stop, people can't give up just because he lost, it should make them fight even damn harder.
@@thereverseeffect7269 if by "left fractured" you mean dems fractured then honestly idc, half of the dems are wall-street and pharma bought similar to how republicans are oil and defense bought, and their voting records show it. These dems are long divorced form working people anyways. if "left fractured" you mean progressives don't have a new banner to rally around I totally agree and that just shows how pathetic the movement has been squashed by the two major parties. Also the left tends to in-fight a lot and thats quite stupid on its own but I can do nothing about that really
I literally started crying when was talking about the lady who made his mittens, such a lovely change after politicians who can only talk about themselves
Every politician needs to take a leaf out of Bernie's book. He, his policies, his entire persona is what Governments should aspire to be. His dedication to equality and fairness, equal rights and justice, support for the working class. And his sense of humor is amazing. Love this guy
@@wwaxwork I'm sure you know as well as I do, that they aren't many like him, whose heart is on the right place. However character has more to do with my decision on who I vote for, than anything else. So if he were running in my constituency he'd definitely get my vote
And none of that matters to our multi-millionaire "leaders" and their billionaire masters. Look up "Lip Service" and there is a picture of Biden, et al smiling as they do nothing productive for years at a time . . . you know, like when he was VP for EIGHT YEARS.
@@radthibidaeux8229 In your wisdom and knowledge of politics and the history of left and right, how much can a president do without the approval of the Senate? When the Party in power, that being the Democrats, and the senate majority is Republicunts, with Moscow Mitch at the helm. How much do you think can be achieved in a bipartisan way? Do you think everything can be accomplished through Executive Order?
The ironic part of today’s world is he became an instant sensation as a meme with just one image, even people who didn’t know him around the world knows him now. Something people never recognized or gave him is a credit for the hard work all his years.
Bernie has always been ahead of his time. He has never been worried about what opinion is popular; he leads with his gut, his heart and his intelligence. Great interview, Seth.
I agree so much! You can tell most politicians cater their views to party and corporate interests and garner votes by attacking the other candidate and selling yourself as the "lesser evil". Bernie doesn't care, he has ideals of how people deserve and should be treated and how the economy and the government should work FOR the people, not the other way around. He knows saying that burns bridges with people at the top, but he doesn't care, he's there to defend his ideals and that's what he has been doing since before I was born.
As far as I'm concerned, Bernie is actually just putting reason before emotions, and that's what makes him great. All his policies are things that should be a given, because they make logical sense and follow the facts. He's also the cleanest politician in the business - no major scandals, no power plays, no wealthy backers, nothing but clean, proven solutions.
Despite him being a big hit of a viral meme, I love and admire how all Bernie would talk about was the school teacher who gave him the mittens. It just goes to show how much of a down to earth person he is.
True. But he can afford to since he was never elected president where he would certainly be forced to compromise on many things he would try to get done in order to serve the entire country.
@Jannis Joplin Lol and yet republicans say that they are the party that do not discriminate... i hope you find love since hate seems to occupy so much of your heart and mind.
@@PADARM Most Republicans wouldn't know a socialist if you hit them over the head with one. It's just the boogieman they use to scare their supporters.
Bernie knows that his mittens were made by a female schoolteacher from his state. That a senator remembers who made something as mundane as his mittens is deeply heart-warming.
Undocumented people aren’t allowed to BUY health insurance, they are uninsured during the pandemic without an opportunity to buy coverage. Most of them already pay taxes and contribute for many years without being recognized, they should not be demonized.
Yeah that’s true however, who do you think you’re trying to convince saying that on a video featuring Bernie Sanders, the only person who stood a viable shot at being president who wants to fix the healthcare system? You’re kind of singing to the chior on this one buddy.
@@patriciastewart2537 I implore you to have more compassion for these people. Addiction is a truly horrifying mental illness, for the addicts and for their loved ones. Most people would welcome treatment and rehabilitation if it was given as an option. Many jurisdictions have adopted policies where a convicted drug user can choose rehabilitation or prison, and most do choose rehab. If we show them compassion, they *will* become contributing members of society. The same goes for undocumented immigrants. In most ways they *are* already contributing members of society, and it is true most pay taxes, but don't receive any of the benefits their taxes pay for. Have more compassion for them as well, they serve in America's workforce for peanuts without any real American benefits.

And you guys never voted for him!! What a miss (obviously for rest of the world having such a wise man at the helm) for American people!! The Trumpists did not yet realize the fact that Bernie was the real President for them, somebody who will stand by the weakened and marginalized section of the society..
I love the fact that Seth's research team had actually done enough research to know about her and her response to request for the mittens. That was some "hot ones" level research that showed Seth and his team were fully engaged.

“How do you feel about the inauguration mittens memes?” “Yeah yeah, they’re great. Anyway, the woman who made those mittens is fantastic. Let’s talk about her.”
I love Bernie. Instead of using this moment for his personal gain, he turns around and makes a shirt out of the moment and sends the full proceeds to charity. And further still, instead of talking about himself, names the woman who made the mittens. The guy is a man of the people.
I saw Bernie with the folder in his arms and said to my mom, "There's our Bernie, always workin, never wasting a minute!" I love you Bernie, we all do, and I sincerely wish that you were president 2 decades ago! The world would be a better place. The core issues that Americans need help with now, you've been fighting to provide for, for decades! You are a True Patriot and you will always be our hero. ♡ We will forever keep on fighting too and remember that you spent your entire life in servitude of the American People. A true Representative of the United States of America! 🥁🗽🏅
I do believe Bernie would prefer keep on LOVING as words describing what he hopes for us to engage in. His work is also best described as SERVICE rather than servitude. It's quite obvious that he knows how important the correct use of words is to EFFECTIVE communication. This is something Trump "supposedly" didn't take sufficient note of when addressing his followers. 🇺🇲🤗💕🇺🇲
@Dahn Correct. I live in the middle of EU and I vote parties around the center. Sometimes I've voted conservative because of economy and lately I've voted slightly left because of human rights and digitalisation of government but when I've tried to fill some forms to learn how would I vote in the USA (pure curiosity) it has placed me just a touch right from the percieved Stalinism. Czechia, my home, has some decent gun laws. I can purchase a pistol or collect long rifles if I want but it takes some training, paperwork and investment. I've never needed a gun to feel safe. My health insurance covers most of my needs unless I need a plastic surgery or really pretty dental replacements. My girlfriend has just told me that good glases cost also something extra. I can hypothetically undertake a civil version of marriage with a same sex person if I feel like it. I've studied at university but I'm not indebted for life because of that( I am indebted for life because I've purchased a house :-) ) If I lose my job I might need to sell my house but I won't probably be hungry unless I gamble my wellfare away. I can disagree with politicians and I won't face repercussions. People might not like me but that's on a personal level. We have far right and far left parties and both are financed from Russia to some degree. Their voters have a lot in common. Our politicians are sometimes corrupt and often incompetent, lying bastards. We still live rather well. Europe has its fare share of problems but those in USA shine brighter and burn deeper.
@@mortisCZ I've got a friend who lives in Czechia and they tell me that Czechia is still relatively conservative compared to most of Europe. It's pretty telling that someone who votes centrist in Czechia would be considered similar to a communist in the USA. What a radicalized place that country is.
Because many americans are scared of common sense, and sees it as "dangerous socialism/communism". That's the reason why the health care system in USA is so unfair and bad. Common sense is health care should be free for everyone, it should be (probably is) a human right. No one should be left to die because they don't have insurance or money for operations/ medicine. But as soon as someone as much as mentions an increase in taxes, people freaks out and calls this person a communist/ evil socialist. Come on man.
@Zombie Muttdog, Ret. riight.. wouldn’t be anything to do with the DNC stealing the nomination from him and putting forward a woman the majority of the country despises..
It’s also incredibly necessary in politics. You’re going to be constantly attacked and if you can’t just laugh and move on you’ll get distracted and you won’t be doing your job. Think about how much time Trump spent fighting with people through the media and on Twitter and then imagine if he spent that time working with Congress instead.
Exactly. Not being able to take a joke is a bad sign - a sign that you think way too much of yourself. We’ve all seen what happens when someone like that is in charge.
yeah I especially love how he's being super clear that she's not interested in making more mittens. aka taking some of the burben of turning people down off her shoulders.
Only in the US. He is basically trying to raise the standards of American life up to catch up with the rest of the world. He doesn't want the US the fall behind.
@@lottat6420 very true. Not to rub it in, but as a Canadian. We have universal healthcare and a respectable minimum wage of 14 an hour. So none of what Bernie says only sounds foreign to Americans but not with the rest of the developed world.
Bernie Sanders is a national treasure, and one of the few politicians anywhere whom I respect and admire. I wish him continued health and success for years to come.
All Dems need to follow Bernie's advice and plan since the control both the Senate and House and move aggressively. Roll right over those RETHUGLIKLANS. Mitch still thinks he's the majority leader.
I can't believe this freakin' guy........I'm 63 and can't field questions like that for more than 5 minutes and I need a nap. He's sharp as a tack, and his heart is in the right place. Exactly who we need in the Senate.
And he's been that way for his entire tenure in politics. His tune has never changed, and that is commendable! I'm Canadian and I would LOVE to have a version of Bernie here! He's a man of the people!
Of every politician Bernie is the most consistent. He has never changed his stance no matter who is in power. He has stuck to his views. I can’t understand how any American can be against him. Even the billionaires who is wants to reign in, should be prepared to support his views. THIS IS NOT SOCIALISM - this is raking care of the most vulnerable in society, which is a GOOD thing.
I agree with everything you said. However, It is the ungodly wealthy in both parties and the cable "news" who are too narcissistic to support what is right for the entire country instead of their corporate interests.
I think it's time for the US and the rest of the American continent to stop associating the word socialism to this sort of demon that was created by the USA during the 70s. Bernie is a socialist, and there's nothing wrong with it, his ideas make sense and he should have been your president, but you guys are still afraid of socialism because of this wild concept created by madmen who preferred to defend the interests of companies instead of the lives of their own people
You nailed it 100%. Your tax money going to services that help you and your family is not socialism or communism. Norway, sweeden , Denmark, Finland and Canada all do more for their citizens.
By this point Bernie had already put the meme on a jumper and sold them for $45 each and donated that money to food on wheels. And yet, he doesnt brag about it. He didn't raise it once when Seth was referencing the meme. I mean; He should have raised it. But how awesome is Bernie sanders for not tooting his own horn about it? Legend. Absolute legend.

He lied about his participation in the Civil Rights Movement. He lied about the Antifa. He lied about his Crime bill past. He lied about his blocking and freezing social security. Bernie had to place a video where Biden was bragging about his anti social securities policies, to show Biden was dishonest. In which wine cave you are living not to know this?
He just sealed his legacy. No matter what people think of him you can’t deny that the pic of him sitting there like an annoyed grandpa makes you feel somewhat happy.

Amazing how in America it’s progressive to have universal healthcare or a living wage while in other developing countries it’s called giving basic human needs!
If more progressives were like Bernie Sanders, the Democratic party would be stronger. The problem is progressives want more than their share of the vote deserves. They deserve to get some of the things they want implemented. They don't deserve to get everything they want implemented. And they're going to have to vote for some things they don't like to get the things they want. I'm so tired of Democratic party disintegrating every time it gets a victory. They are like a herd of cats. Bernie Sanders is strongly Progressive but has the wisdom to realize the limits of his power. He's also an excellent human being.

There have already been mentions of continuing the knitting other ways. And, even a mention about adding similar socks. "Out of business" is simply more inappropriate spin from you. You are either again writing as you chose to because you are uninformed and did not care about being accurate...or...you are again deliberately lying to take away well-deserved credit for rather fabulous good works for fine VT non-profits. Sen. Sanders also designated all profit (already reaching nearly $1.8 million) from t-shirts and sweatshirts featuring his inauguration meme to several VT charities, including Meals on Wheels. When Ms. Ellis told us her Mother had benefited from MOW services, it was yet another delightful connection to what is certainly among the best of this young year's "feel good" stories. No matter your negative spins.
@David Winehouse Stop it. It seems to me there are two options about your post. One is that you just have not been paying enough attention re "Bernie's mittens" and are simply uninformed about the wonderful project initiated by 2nd grade teacher, Jen Ellis, also the talented mitten maker. If that's the case, you still posted anyway . Two is that you are intentionally lying to cast shade for some reason. And, posted anyway. "High Taxes" have not been in any conversation I've heard or read about regarding the lovely gift by both Ms. Ellis and Sen. Sanders to outstanding non-profits in VT.

Imagine the different america we would have had with bernie
Not an American, but I was heartbroken when he dropped from the race.
To Biden’s credit, he’s been charged with a very important role in the Administration
Ikr!!!
“Whether you’re a democratic in NYC or a Republican in rural America, you need decent health care” Well said Bernie. The fight continues...
The civilized countries can scarcely believe that not only does the U.S. not have universal health care but also that so many of its citizens have been brainwashed into thinking that social benefits are some kind of devilish plot to control their lives. Why aren't more Americans aware that people in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and most of Europe are much happier because they have a social safety net and that they aren't burdened by ruinous taxes?
It's crazy to me that one of the richest Country in the World, has the highest rate of deaths. We must impeach Chump, he can't become President again!! Once has cost us enough lives, with no regret on his part....
What about the "CONVERSATION" continues?? I'm willing to bet Bernie would like it better that way!👌🇺🇲👍🇺🇲🤱🏻
Exactly, I don’t understand, they rather paid $600 a month per family and 10k or 20k deductible. Than an increase on their taxes that would probably be $100 a month increase. I just don’t understand 🤷🏻♀️
A lot of my family members live in rural areas and most of them are republicans. One of the main reasons behind them still being republicans (in spite most of them hating trump) is that a lot of them make too much money to qualify for medicare, but not enough to pay the inflated costs of health insurance for people who live further away from hospitals. People who live in rural places are cheated where healthcare is concerned, and a lot of them actually blame obama for not doing enough with the ACA, and they think that democrats are too passive to actually follow through with implementing universal health care, and honestly I can't entirely disagree with that. So instead of supporting democrats, a lot of them were willing to follow along with republicans in the vain hope that trump's initial promise to make a healthcare plan better than obama's actually paid off.
If there's ever a serum for immortality, give it to Bernie first. Okay? Can we agree on that?

There were so many of us that wanted him for president, but I’m skeptical about who has control in the Democratic party... the arena appears to only serve centerists like Biden.
American plutocrats well fund conservative media to seduce people to vote against their way interests, so sadly no it is no surprise he is not president, and that Biden is about as liberal a president we're going to get for now.

@@vincesega15 the new JFK in what way?
Bernie has always been ahead of his time. He has never been worried about what opinion is popular; he leads with his gut, his heart and his intelligence. Great interview, Seth.
I agree so much! You can tell most politicians cater their views to party and corporate interests and garner votes by attacking the other candidate and selling yourself as the "lesser evil".
Bernie doesn't care, he has ideals of how people deserve and should be treated and how the economy and the government should work FOR the people, not the other way around. He knows saying that burns bridges with people at the top, but he doesn't care, he's there to defend his ideals and that's what he has been doing since before I was born.
As far as I'm concerned, Bernie is actually just putting reason before emotions, and that's what makes him great. All his policies are things that should be a given, because they make logical sense and follow the facts. He's also the cleanest politician in the business - no major scandals, no power plays, no wealthy backers, nothing but clean, proven solutions.

I do believe Bernie would prefer keep on LOVING as words describing what he hopes for us to engage in. His work is also best described as SERVICE rather than servitude.

Why is it called ‘progressive’ when taking care of our planet, our health, and each other is just common sense?
Because common sense is not so common.
@Dahn Correct. I live in the middle of EU and I vote parties around the center. Sometimes I've voted conservative because of economy and lately I've voted slightly left because of human rights and digitalisation of government but when I've tried to fill some forms to learn how would I vote in the USA (pure curiosity) it has placed me just a touch right from the percieved Stalinism.
Czechia, my home, has some decent gun laws. I can purchase a pistol or collect long rifles if I want but it takes some training, paperwork and investment. I've never needed a gun to feel safe.
My health insurance covers most of my needs unless I need a plastic surgery or really pretty dental replacements. My girlfriend has just told me that good glases cost also something extra.
I can hypothetically undertake a civil version of marriage with a same sex person if I feel like it.
I've studied at university but I'm not indebted for life because of that( I am indebted for life because I've purchased a house :-) )
If I lose my job I might need to sell my house but I won't probably be hungry unless I gamble my wellfare away.
I can disagree with politicians and I won't face repercussions. People might not like me but that's on a personal level.
We have far right and far left parties and both are financed from Russia to some degree. Their voters have a lot in common.
Our politicians are sometimes corrupt and often incompetent, lying bastards. We still live rather well.
Europe has its fare share of problems but those in USA shine brighter and burn deeper.
@@mortisCZ I've got a friend who lives in Czechia and they tell me that Czechia is still relatively conservative compared to most of Europe.
It's pretty telling that someone who votes centrist in Czechia would be considered similar to a communist in the USA. What a radicalized place that country is.
Because it's not what we're currently doing, so doing so would mean progressing.
Because many americans are scared of common sense, and sees it as "dangerous socialism/communism". That's the reason why the health care system in USA is so unfair and bad.
Common sense is health care should be free for everyone, it should be (probably is) a human right. No one should be left to die because they don't have insurance or money for operations/ medicine.
But as soon as someone as much as mentions an increase in taxes, people freaks out and calls this person a communist/ evil socialist. Come on man.
How can anyone of a sound mind, not like this man.
Anyone named Trump. Or who has been brainwashed by him.
Well, looks like half of the Americans don't have that mind. Sadly...
I've met Mormons in Utah who don't like him. I've never heard a specific or credible objection.

He didn't raise it once when Seth was referencing the meme. I mean; He should have raised it. But how awesome is Bernie sanders for not tooting his own horn about it? Legend. Absolute legend.
He did mention it later on during a CNN interview
Apparently by the time he got on CNN he had already sold out lmao
@@thereverseeffect7269 is that your definition of selling out? You should call Wikipedia I think they have it differently! 👌
@@genieNotinabottle Dude I think he means sold out the shirts. Not sell out himself.
@@genieNotinabottle idk if your comment deserves a wooosh or just a huh??
@@genieNotinabottle Uhhhhh, he did sell out of merch, they said as much.......

Wrong, pure commie
Exactly. F**k all those idiots trying to smear him.

How can you not love Bernie Sanders?! He talks such sense every time. It's like visiting your nice old grandfather
I love bernie. He isn't in anyone's pocket. He just cares about people.
Idk, give him a good pair of mittens and see what he’ll do for you...

Bernie has our hearts. And I'm not even an 'American'.
🇨🇭100% agree✊
he has the hearts of us non-americans, but in the U.S. they do think differently
@@escaton74 not all of us :) proudly voted for him in the primaries in both 2016 and 2020, absolutely broke my heart that he didn't get the nomination both times :(
@Holly S my heart broke when I heard that he dropped out of the race last year, so that Biden can be president.
Exactly. Brazil here
I'm British.Whenever I watch this man,he just seems like a very straight forward person who strives to do his best for the people he represents.He always talks about the working class,family,healthcare, the environment and doesn't talk in sound bites!! He seems like a good man ...Am I right??? I feel like we could do with someone like him as our Prime minister!😊
We had a man similar to Bernie. He got demonised and is now just tending his garden. Britain is lost
As much as I love Britain, you can't have him. We need every. single. Bernie.
We need someone like him here in Australia, too
I wish he were my president.
You are so right. He's been singing the same tune since fighting for racial equity since the 60s. He really is a true gem!
Bernie when he becomes a meme: *laughs it out*
Xi Jinping when compared to Winnie the Pooh: *bans Winnie the Pooh and the internet*
It's not banned but you cannot compare him with cartoon there
That is the difference between a good politician and a bad one.
All he did was be himself, that's why so many people love him.
Exactly !! So well said !! He isn’t anyone but himself, he’s so authentic ❤️
Yeah! We love people who keep talking up brutal communist dictatorships, and write think pieces talking about how everyone secretly wants to be raped. He’s so wholesome!
@@IAmAnEvilTaco you truly are an evil taco

@Jay Bee Lies. Try to troll somewhere else.
@Jay Bee Yes I did. Also looked at every rally from every opponent. Biden lied about being arrested in South Africa. He lied during his ''rally'' about Medicare for All. He lied about his participation in the Civil Rights Movement. He lied about the Antifa. He lied about his Crime bill past. He lied about his blocking and freezing social security. Bernie had to place a video where Biden was bragging about his anti social securities policies, to show Biden was dishonest. In which wine cave you are living not to know this?
He just sealed his legacy. No matter what people think of him you can’t deny that the pic of him sitting there like an annoyed grandpa makes you feel somewhat happy.
I fear the day we lose him. A man that is so people-centered, full of integrity, honest and consistent. We need more like him.
he looks good, might keep kicking all the way to 120 years old.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
I think he may have, in losing twice, set the agenda of the country towards the left for decades to come; just as Barry Goldwater did towards the right, even though he lost the nomination.
@@dranzer2545 If you love God, then you love all that is of God. God created the world so the world is of God. If you love God, then you love the world and everything in it.
From your lips to god’s ears. He and Biden are such kind men.
As a Swede born and raised here in Sweden I have a enormous trust in socialdemocratic politics and I find comfort in hearing Bernie. Him being american with his age and still his enlightenment gives me hope.
his honesty, humbleness, kindness and his efficiency , go bernie!!!
You can't hate him unless your some type of evil.
Humility, not humbleness 😊
@@115dancingqueen lol making out words in my 2nd language, thanks 👍😂
Can you imagine a Sanders inauguration? I bet the performers would all be volunteers and the bunting would be recycled.

*...that coat should become a hiGh fA$hiON itEM!*

I love that Bernie is laser-focused on the working class. Look at how personable he is when Seth talks to him about the memes. He has a reputation of being a grumpy old man who yells all the time, but he'd be so chill and funny if he wasn't so deeply invested in our well-being. It's tear-inducingly admirable.
Amen.
Exactly! He's so warm and funny and good humored. I don't think the impressions of him yelling all the time really capture him
I love this guy. He would have been a damn good president. It's funny how we like the memes but didn't nominate him to be president, smh - I am not even American but the amount of respect and admiration I have for Bernie is tremendous great Human being with integrity. For the second time I am surprised why Americans didn't vote him in for president.
So eloquent and caring for the people, regardless of the party. God bless his soul and his mittens...☺️

Man of the People
My hearth flutters when I look at that picture.
I support only some of his politics, but he is an authentic original and I admire him for that.
Me too!! He reminds me of me... I have to dress up for a lot of stuff but there are times I show up like Bernie.
Don’t nobody have time to be dressed like that in the cold. Everybody had on Professional hit man gloves... he had on mittens.
❤❤❤
I wouldn't call Bernie "progressive", I would call him "REALIST"
Amazing how in America it’s progressive to have universal healthcare or a living wage while in other developing countries it’s called giving basic human needs!
Same thing.
If more progressives were like Bernie Sanders, the Democratic party would be stronger.
The problem is progressives want more than their share of the vote deserves. They deserve to get some of the things they want implemented. They don't deserve to get everything they want implemented. And they're going to have to vote for some things they don't like to get the things they want.
I'm so tired of Democratic party disintegrating every time it gets a victory. They are like a herd of cats.
Bernie Sanders is strongly Progressive but has the wisdom to realize the limits of his power. He's also an excellent human being.
@@ShyLuna44 I think about that everyday. There's nothing "liberal" about me. It's just called not being a dick.
i call him, he's the realest. love him so much

there is a crochet Bernie Sanders out there ,it is so cute.
Auctioned for $40k..
Honestly love Bernie because not only does he have the passion that many representatives lack but he has gained a wonderful team that helps provide him with the facts and information he needs to back up his intuitive views on things
Unfortunately they let him down in the primaries...he let that team get too big I think.
@@scoobertmcruppert2915 I think that they were awfully bad at protecting him and Jane from their kryptonite (Biden). But that team is not the same at the senate as on his campaign and some from the campaign absolutely tried their best.
I’m Australian. I want US citizens to understand all he’s asking is for you to have what we do. In fact, not even that. He’s to the right of what we expect on a daily basis from our government. Please listen to him and let him influence your President for the good of all your citizens rather than a few
@@brucedevereaux8282 Spot On!
@@scoobertmcruppert2915 Yep his team of hothead radicals made him lose the primary. The idea of division they made him embrace was the biggest mistake in American history and had they not done it he would be president now. I hope he fires them all and never works with that team again.
Seth: "Here's a meme with you sitting next to three sexy women....."
Bernie: "Haha......let's talk about the woman.....who made my mittens......"

Not that it changed anything in the end, but my home state of California voted overwhelmingly for him in the primary. Wish we could at least have him as our governor.

@Zombie Muttdog, Ret. Are you serious? A guy uses a commonplace idiom for multitasking and suddenly he's a fake cause he didn't come up with a brand new lingual metaphor instead? Please tell me that was sarcasm. You can't steal an idiom....
He has come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass...and he's all out of bubblegum.
"How are you son." Such warm words. Class act for taking his memes in such a humble and funny manner.
Edit:
I just checked and he called him Seth, but I think he is someone who would call people son or dear. Pardon my mistake, I am partially deaf in my left ear.
I think it was 'How are you, Seth'.
He said Seth
It sounded like “son” to me too! 😆🤷🏼♀️
Seth, not son. Though in private he likely would have said 'son'.
The Closed Caption machine also heard Seth...I had to check after seeing these comments.
If Bernie ever decides to run for president again, he definitely has my vote
u do know how old he is, right?
@@trailertrish Betty white is 99 and sharp as a tack. Bernie is only 78.
“We have the majority, we should use the majority”
- this will remain true in all future elections and we had better make sure that the last 4 years aren’t repeated.
Obama had the majority, and used it to pass a republican healthcare plan. Yes, Obamacare is actually Romney care. He did very little, even though Democrats held the house, senate, and presidency. We need to put immense pressure on the corporatist Democrats if we want any of the substantial change that we so desperately need.
Republicans wouldn't hesitate for a second to use their majority if they had one so why should dems act as though republicans would need such a justification to pass legislation when they're in the majority?
@@FrogsforjpRS because, as far as policy goes, most Democrats are basically diet republicans. They like doing nothing for the people, everything for the corporations, and then blaming it on the republicans. They snub progressives and cater to republicans.
@@calebeyl141 You won't find any disagreement from me there.
Trump has overshadowed a lot of criticisms of the more corporatist elements of the democratic party and I agree that, with him out of office, the priority should be to put pressure on this part of the party to get more progressive policies passed.
@@calebeyl141 AOC, Bernie, Ossoff, Butiegej etc were impactful people in the election. Hope their voices will be respected.
Typical Bernie. Not wearing designer gloves but mittens handmade by one of his constituents. Great man.
