Oh, Bernie... how we missed a golden opportunity. Thank you for continuing to work for us.
Liars and cheats is why
I'm 72. I voted for Bernie. I sent money to Bernie. I talked with my peers about Bernie. Bernie fought for all people.
Much love and respect from Switzerland!
Nothing wrong with that. Anti-Socialism rhetoric (read propaganda) started in the 20's to encourage greed based Capitalism. Karl Marx wrote of the big downside of Capitalism and he was right.
Bernie, you're not the hope for future America, You're the HOPE for the whole world.
Bahram Rowhanian . No kidding I thoughts exactly. The die has been cast all we have to do now is give the up-and-coming and administration enough rope to hang themselves.
Make sure we're still working on the local level. If he pulls through in 4 years we have to have this ship ready to set sail.
A Nonymous absolutely, you know why America is important ? Because what happens in America, after a while has strong impacts on the rest of the world !
No matter what, I will always be grateful to Senator Sanders. For shining a light on the corporatists running our government so that more people are awakened. For marching on the picket lines with working people. For continuing to fight for what's right, even when it's politically difficult. For fighting on the side of the water protectors in Standing Rock.
All while combing his hair with a balloon, lol. Much love and many blessings to Bernie and to Jane. They are both a force to be reckoned with, and I suspect they are far from finished fighting. ♡
Warrior Waitress a really good person! 💗 Bernie and Jane
he's never worked a day in his life??? I don't get it
I get it, jokes about the fact that politicians don't do anything... usually I would agree with you but if you say that about Bernie you just don't know about him.
Kevin Alonso
Agreed, brother. I've been "Feeling the Bern" for about a decade now, thanks to Thom Hartmann's weekly "Brunch with Bernie" segment. When he announced his run for president last year, I was overjoyed. His principles today are the same as they were then, and even decades before. Few people in this country work harder than Bernie and Jane Sanders.
I will alway wish that Bernie had won this election. The only man who actually cared for the people and not about his ego
I love this guy so much. the interview that follows is great too. good job Amy!
we love you bernnie. hopefully we will have you heathly and strong for another 30 years. bernnie 2020
O Captain! My Captain!
Love to Bernie from Canada
Love this man!!!
for every loss there's usually victory, for every sadness there can be joy, and when you think you've lost everything, there is always hope, Mr Sanders '2020'. peace
earl klugh That's my take on Obama. If nothing else an entire generation learned the hard way that token politicians aren't what we need. Substance is more important than sending symbolic, temporary, feel-good signals to the world that we're a tolerant country.
***** Trump and Bernie were just the right guys for the right time. Truth is, it wasn't them. The people are the ones that finally said 'enough' to this charade.
Bernie Sanders is a good man
Democracy Now really needs to change that porno music opening theme.
I ran out of Ipecac, so I watched this. Bernie is a miracle worker!!
wow.....how clever you are.
Wow....
+k3v1n47 I'm guessing you ran out of ex lax.
watcherjohnny
You win again, braniac!
Wow....
👍Bernie💗
"In a time of crisis we all have the potential to morph up to a new level and do things we never thought possible " Stuart Wilde
Let's keep the faith, work smarter and love more deeply least despair take us over and we sink this nationship.
God we're going to need him again in 2020.
say it with me bernie, "we gotta overthrow the bourgoisie"
The ultimate way to save democracy is to bring it to the one sphere of life where most of us have never known it - the workplace. #DemocracyAtWork
What good is electing a black president who is more status quo than the status quo? How can anyone see that as progress and when will people recognize and acknowledge it?
>What good is electing a black president who is more status quo than the status quo? How can anyone see that as progress and when will people recognize and acknowledge it?
Our society opening up positions of power to people who aren't straight white men is always good. Even if we elect a shitbird conservative.
snowsandrivers blackfyrestorm I agree with Travis, and im on the Left. What good is electing a woman, a muslim, or an African America if they aren't helping us all move forward? And there doesn't necessarily have to be a woman in office, or a black person in office, to improve the situation of blacks and women.
We should never focus on anyone skin color or gender. I'm not saying we should pretend to be color blind like many people on the Right claim they are. All I'm saying is, someone like Bernie Sanders (an old Jew from Vermont), would most likely help the situation of black people more than Obama. He would also most likely improve the situation of women, more than Hillary Clinton, despite the fact that he is not a woman. Ideas are so much more important than a person's "identity".
Tasheem Hargrove >What good is electing a woman, a muslim, or an African America if they aren't helping us all move forward?
To some extent, I agree. It's only good in that it demonstrates that doors can be opened.
>And there doesn't necessarily have to be a woman in office, or a black person in office, to improve the situation of blacks and women.
Yep. I agree with that too. But it clearly demonstrates that certain attitudes in the country are at least SLIGHTLY diminished.

Yes, I agree. All I'm saying is that the fact that a person of color can breach these lines says something good about our society,
This is why identity politics is such a dangerous thing... liberals are hoodwinked into focusing too hard on quantitative representation of identities in various spheres of public office and mediums (remember Bernie's America ad which had only two Iowa black people in it... gasp!) rather than the qualitative representation of The People (and I mean all of us... black, white, and in between, male, female, gay, straight, etc.).
While we are fighting amongst ourselves, they (the ruling class and their pawns) are effectively ruling over us with economic dominance. If all of those republicans were making decent money and living happy lives, they may find themselves in too good of a mood to be bigots and scapegoat their fellow citizens. If people coming from poverty had realistic opportunity, you might find them leaving welfare for a more earnest living filled with the pride of one's own success. If people weren't struggling so hard to make ends meet, may they would have a better mental state, there would be less people in jail, and family values could be enhanced by the fact that the family actually gets to spend time together. Imagine that.
Identity politics is a system of divide and conquer. The ruler (donors) of both parties have a vested interest in keeping politics focused in this arena and that is why you see it so much in the media.
+snowsandrivers blackfyrestorm no what it says is the ruling class trusts that person with their investments enough to allow them to campaign for high office without impediment. Getting a woman like Hillary elected does nothing at all and in fact can be a negative by the false sense of progress it provides. It is not enough to be a woman or a person of color. That is not the criterion by which we should be judging. The sole judgment is should be based upon whether or not they uphold the constitution and represent the people and by that I mean the people en masse which naturally is dominated by the middle and lower classes. If the people who meet those qualifications, then a quantitative representation of minority identities is icing on the cake. The cake needs to he good in the inside first; otherwise it's just liberal lipstick on a pig.
BETTER TOGETHER. LOVE FROM SCOTLAND.
I always look forward to hearing him talk I've never been in to politics more than when Bernie started it's knowledge and truth the world needs to hear
The world would have been so much better off with a president Sanders.
Indeed. He probably wouldn't have achieved everything he hoped to do, but we'd be a hell of a lot closer to getting there.
Well seeing how most people vote one party down the ticket, if Hillary or Bernie would've won, they probably would've regained the Senate. So it could be argued they'd be able to at least get some things done. Very little though and that goes for Hillary as well. She wouldn't have been able to get anything she wanted done either, especially with a Republican controlled house and by Republican House I mean far right teabaggers who have noone to answer to but their ignorant right wing voters in their districts which they've gerrymandered in their favor as an undemocratic power grab.
Bernie wouldn't have got things done and neither would've Hillary. Both would've been lame duck presidents just as Obama has been since Democrats lost control of congress back in 2010.

Bernie knows how to do one thing that Obama should've known, but never did. Bernie knows that Congress won't do what the people want unless the people send a clear message that they will not be reelected if they don't do what they the people want. He knows how to rally people around ideas.
In other words, he knows how to use his leverage.
CampingforCool41 Yeah that sounds great and it's pretty true as far as Senators go since they have to answer to a whole state so there's a diverse crowd they represent. However that's not the case at all with a House that's controlled by gerrymandered districts across the country. Now what does that mean, it means those congresspeople don't have to answer to noone but the voters in the district's which they've drawn out where they live that benefits them. It's why we have a Congress with the lowest approval ratings in history and yet the vast majority of them got reelected. Take for example Austin TX. it's the most liberal city in the south yet 3 out of 4 of their representatives are conservative Republicans. How does that happen? It ain't that southern liberals are voting for Republicans. It's because they've "rigged" their elections in a sense. If you don't know what gerrymandering is then Google it. We could have a billion people March on Washington and House Republicans wouldn't have to blink an eye. They don't answer to random protestors in Washington, they answer to voters in their districts and the districts they've drawn out are totally in their favor.
"They don't answer to random protestors in Washington, they answer to voters in their districts and the districts they've drawn out are totally in their favor." I wasn't saying that they'd respond to random protestors. Of course the only thing that matters is who is in their district, and that is exactly how Bernie could've used his leverage.

Love this man. Fuck it, run in 2020. He may not be a spring chicken, but it's not like his mind isn't as sharp as can be.
#CanadiansforBernie .. WE LOVE YOU BERNIE!!
If only it could have been
I vote for you Bernie os you can be the Nominee.
People of the same format like Bernie need to enter politics and social services everywhere they can, in every country. Be the change you want to see.
From Germany, too!!
WE LOVE YOU BERNIE!!!
We want Bernie TV
Bernie2020
the whole world hope so, us malaysian was very sad when bernie lost, even my mom facepalmed when hillary was chosen to run.
I found this interview to be something to share with my acquaintances who, like me, are in the dumps over the election of Trump. So thankful that Bernie remains centered and determined and dedicated. He remains a hero.
Obomber has been a Bummer! Now we have Don the Con! Bernie 2020!
Wait I wanted to hear Amy Goodman. :(
on a different video mate. go to the democracy now channel. it's posted on there.
Madman0001 she interviews him afterward on here if you look at some of the other videos you will see it
We love you Bernie! ¡Te queremos Bernie!
Bernie is the Eckhart Tolle of politics......he is one with his words.
what a beautiful american. senator sanders, thank you for all your hard work towards making america even greater.
Burnie, I have to ask... who will you endorse? if you could get a few good progressives your recommendation to the American people I would love to support them. we need more progressives like you. push out a few hopefuls for small public offices around the country and let's hope we can get another handful of lib-dem-socialists in.
So many numbers, I wonder if American really understand.
great leader for WE THE PEOPLE
In a corporate mediaverse of plutocratic lies, Bernie delivers the TRUTH.
we need Bernie as our president . I like went Bernie have to say. Bernie need to be President.
Never actually listened to a Bernie Sanders speech. I can see how someone would want to support him. Definitely way better than Hillary but There are more important bigger issues going on right now then Bernies issues. They are definitely important but need to worry about it at a later time.
Who in their right mind would down vote this message?
Bernie can tell me I was found in the gutter and I would believe him.
"And I have some news for the Republicans of this country. We are not going to cut social security- we're going to EXPAND social security!"
-Bergie Sherndersh, 2016
Love him. Still sad he didnt win.
#mypresident
When’s Bernie running for office 2020 or 2024
Thank you bernie... my beloved aunt and uncle just killed themselves a few months ago for this very economic reason... they worked their entire lives for assholes only to be abused and had very little savings to show it for it. they lived a very simple life... their health insurance alone wasabout 1200/month... they were tired of the struggle :(
We cannot afford to be liable for 20 million people having insurance plus the trillion a year In cost for government to run it and say America you have to pay for this and we will accept millions of immigrants a year and working America you will pay for that
The teapublican playbook must be read and used to defeat them. Except with a progressive platform to upright the Democratic Party.
Bernie is the best and the brightest. Trump is an American Tragedy.
He still has Clinton's knife in his back, when his he going to get that taken care off?
I guess that happened when she lost.
Bernie! YOU HAD A REPUBLICAN SUPPORTER me, still feel you sold out to Clinton ! But you're truthful at least we all have to give you that
Dividing american's into different groups is what just cost your side the election.
9/10....
Him promoting drugs made me a little mad.
promoting?
what do you mean? drug addiction is a health issue not a criminal one.
He promotes the LEGALIZATION of drugs
Wow, Bernie is a drug dealer? He's even more awesome than I thought. Hey Bernie, I want a bottle of liquid LSD, a kilo of weed and a few caps of 'shrooms. You're the man Bernie!
all drugs should be decriminalized PERIOD. (SHOULD NOT be encouraged though)
why Bernie still behind Hillary?
The divisions between Democrate and fascist Republican is too wide for the nation to stay intact. Two nations is the answer. Vinegar and oil do not mix, ever.
Mhi kl yeah besides corporate handouts, government intrusion, war, native American land rights, surveillance, torture and drugs
Except on salad.
Didn't Bernie say he was going to fight identity politics?
Then why is he going hard identity politics here. Gross.
Bernie is correct again. I supported more of Hillary's policies, but supported Trump. Hillary is disgusting and criminal, Trump was less so, in time he may be worse. Hopefully in 4 years there will be better choices, however it is highly doubtfull since the 2 US parties are basically the same, support the rich. The 2 parties pick who will represent them, the citizens of the USA do not choose, hence the people are given one bad choice after another.
There are enough resources to support everyone equitably, some though just want more.
#pizzagate
retire no one is lstening
... You obviously were...
Never before has a candidate had the support of so many, due to the knowledge of so little (economically at least).
Wage gap is a myth.
Minimum wage destroys jobs.
You're not a victim, you're a lazy indoctrinated pot head. Fuck cultural marxism.
Uncle Bernie has 3 houses and hasnt had a "real" job in his life.
TRUMP 2016
I love Bernie to death, but the USA has already regressed. To say 'we're not going back' is an oxymoron.
