★ About Bernie:
Bernie Sanders is a Democratic candidate for President of the United States. He is serving his second term in the U.S. Senate after winning re-election in 2012 with 71 percent of the vote. Sanders previously served as mayor of Vermont’s largest city for eight years before defeating an incumbent Republican to be the sole congressperson for the state in the U.S. House of Representatives. He lives in Burlington, Vermont with his wife Jane and has four children and seven grandchildren.
Bernard “Bernie” Sanders was born in Brooklyn, New York, to immigrant parents and grew up in a small, rent-controlled apartment. His father came to the United States from Poland at the age of 17 without much money or a formal education. While attending the University of Chicago, a 20-year-old Sanders led students in a multi-week sit-in to oppose segregation in off-campus housing owned by the university as a Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) officer. In August of 1963, Sanders took an overnight bus as an organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee to hear Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech firsthand at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
After graduation, Bernie moved to Vermont where he worked as a carpenter and documentary filmmaker. In 1981, he was elected as mayor of Burlington as an Independent by a mere 10 votes, shocking the city’s political establishment by defeating a six-term, local machine mayor. In 1983, Bernie was re-elected by a 21 point margin with a record amount of voter turnout. Under his administration, the city made major strides in affordable housing, progressive taxation, environmental protection, child care, women’s rights, youth programs and the arts. In 1990, Sanders was elected to the House of Representatives as the first Independent in 40 years and joined the Democratic caucus. He was re-elected for eight terms, during which he voted against the deregulation of Wall Street, the Patriot Act, and the invasion of Iraq.
In 2006, Sanders defeated the richest man in Vermont to win a seat in the U.S. Senate as an Independent. Known as a “practical and successful legislator,” Sanders served as chairman of the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs where he authored and passed the most significant veteran health care reform bill in recent history. While in the Senate, Sanders has fought tirelessly for working class Americans against the influence of big money in politics. In 2010, he gave an eight-and-a-half hour filibuster-like speech on the Senate floor in opposition to extending Bush-era tax breaks for the wealthy. In 2015, the Democratic leadership tapped Bernie to serve as the caucus’ ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee.
Known for his consistency on the issues, Senator Sanders has supported the working class, women, communities of color, and the LGBT community throughout his career. He is an advocate for the environment, unions, and immigrants. He voted against Keystone XL, opposes the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, wants to expand the Voting Rights Act, and pass the Equal Rights Amendment.

I wish this speech had been nationally broadcast.
+Beorn Borg It was on C-SPAN 2: www.c-span.org/video/?400961-1/senator-bernie-sanders-address-democratic-socialism
Daniel Stutzbach That's something, but ABC/CBS/NBC would have been nice. :) BTW I remember watching Elizabeth Warren's *COP* hearings on youtube. It didn't seem like many people were paying attention. Our media seems to focus on the wrong things, in my opinion.
+Beorn Borg they definitely focus on the wrong things, Russell Brand opened my eyes to it... negativity, fear, or superficial materialism. that's the agenda, distractions and consumerism.
+Beorn Borg
If you were Peabody Energy, would you buy advertising on a news program that broadcasts these ideas or would you spend your money on a news program that simply dismissed this as "radical?"
+Paul Kent Not Peabody Energy but.... there are lots of non fossil fuel, big pharma companies that might be willing and able. Ben and Jerry's?
any company that is about health, green lifestyle, real farmer co-ops, or anybody with money that truly cares about their offspring.
One of the most important videos of the Sanders campaign. Share it everywhere!
+Nunya Bid'nez 35K views in a week.
Trump's videos get that in the first hour of being posted. Good luck.
+bedlambikes Because Trump is a walking freak show. A wreck always gets more attention than smoothly flowing traffic.
D Onnorthshore Your comment is pure win.
+Nunya Bid'nez If you want to help Bernie, convince 2 people to vote for him. That´s how we did in Venezuela (where there is a dictatorship and many other horrors) and now we have 2/3 of the Parliament.
+Nunya Bid'nez Why do you think this is the most important videos of his campaign?
This sounded like an inaugural speech - when he gets elected, how will he top this? He writes all his own speeches by the way.
:) He's such a unique guy in human history, man.
+Catfish Cave Does he really write his own speeches without the help of speech writers? I find that hard to believe.
No he definitely does seem to have at least some sort of outline, but that is just to keep him on track.
Specifically Tom; not the usual republican rhetoric, what is it that makes him a nutcase?
+Catfish Cave It's funny how you think he's getting elected.
“I will never hesitate to defend this nation, but I will never send our sons and daughters to a war under false pretense.” Should be carved in stone on the White House wall
+Alessandro Vene well said.
I agree. I would never join the US Army at this point in history. We're just sending our soldiers off to die so that rich people can stay ludicrously wealthy.
Indeed. That is a good quote right there.
Then you better be prepared to go war against the democratic socialist of America
Was that an attempt to insult OP's opinions? Because I don't get it.
Bernie Sanders. Our FDR!!
Historic speech. This will be noted in the annals of history.
+Rand Wulf Bwaahhahaha!
+Pablo Faja
What's so funny? This is historical. Sanders dealt out some serious knowledge.
+DUTCH Info dude lol I was dying. Good shit man good shit
+Trevor Phillips ahhhh good one
+Jack Williamson FDR's New Deal wasn't covered on television (even though we have the footage).
Well said and excellent speech! To here such logic and true empathy from a politician is amazing!
*hear doh!
+Kjell Beilman I'll give the empathy award to the current president. But logic, yes. Nobody's got shit on Bernie when it comes to logic.
He's the politician whose not political.
Excellent first ten minutes viewed on February 4, 2020! Next campaign post Iowa Caucus on way to New Hampshire. Julie Ann Racino, National Democratic Party, 2020 Yes, Bernie lost to Hillary Clinton in 2016 for Democratic nomination for US Presidency.
VOTE BERNIE 2016 !
+Tom Robinson ...Trump may be a cold hearted SOB but Bernie is to coward to fight for Americans 8 million unemployed and their starving kids but keep illegals working wapo.st/1I1yMNj #keepontrumping
watch you liberals and Bernie campaign staff delete my comments because you wish to silence freedom of speech which is your tactic as socialists, adopting fascism tactics to silence us just like Nazi bullies
+1on1 Yeah, because all liberals care about is silencing the opinions of those who disagree with them. That is obviously their only tactic, right? Oh wait... doesn't that sound a bit like something else... perhaps... conservatives?
1on1 If you think illegals are responsible for job loss, you are misinformed. Bernie was against the free trade programs that caused job loss. In Trumps favor, he is against free trade also. If you want to pick produce, or clean up after whitey, knock yourself out, take an illegals job ! You also use socialist and fascism in the same sentence to describe liberals. I believe you need to go back to school and learn the meaning of the words.I also detect a bit of psychological projection on your part. I would never delete your comments, how could anyone see how silly you are !
***** ...The only one talking about race hate is liberals. Liberal racists instigators, worse than skinheads, trying to stir up race war. Always provoking a fight to get Americans to be at each others throat
A speech that will go down in history. I hope they are hearing this in Iowa!
need to share this in Iowa!!?
Another strong speech Bernie! My favorite part was the reference to Roosevelt..."Everything Roosevelt did was considered socialist." - Really hit home the point that all these government programs we love today: SS, concept of minimum wage, banking protections, and child labor laws, were all considered a "radical intervention in the marketplace" but today these programs are the fabric of our great nation.
+Tyler Peterson Dat wink doe.
+Tyler Peterson And under FDR a recession turned into a depression.
+whyamimrpink78
The Great Depression started with the Crash of 1929, and FDR was not elected until the fall of 1932, and didn't take office until March of 1933, so WTF are you talking about? A mere 'recession' would have been over, before FDR was even nominated by the Democratic Party!
+Paul Kent Every recession except for two were recovered from in around 5 years or less. We did so with little to no federal government actions.
The two that took the longest to recover from is the one we are currently in (8 years so far) and the great depression. FDR took over 4 years after the recession started. If left alone we would have recovered. Instead he decided to spend and add new regulations which prolong our recovery to ultimately it took the war and his death to recover from. FDR turned a recession into a depression.
You've never talked to anyone that survived the Great Depression, have you?
Bernie no matter what happens just know that you are an amazingly inspirational person. You aren't just what America needs.... you are what the world needs. More of people like you who stand for the majority, not the 1% rich elite who buy out candidates. Your exceptional character and brave voice is a beacon of hope
Nobody deserves him. He's well above anyone's deserve-grade. But he's gotta and gonna do what he's gotta do. I think the Democratic Party must open their eyes and see the jackpot they hit with this guy and stop promoting Clinton, while I do wish to see a woman as commander sometime soon. However, Clinton, as good as she is, hasn't got shit on this guy. Go Bernie.
+Jack Williamson
The Democratic Party is a right wing party by international standards. The Republican Party left the chart decades ago.
America NEEDS Bernie Sanders. #feelthebern2016 #feelthebern #inittowinit
Lol get rektd
Bernie 2016! Our democracy is not for sale.
+Diego Camacho We don't live in a democracy....
nice try though
+footbalr074 Are you making the assertion that we live in a republic, instead of a democracy?
amazing!! this guy doesn't need to do this, but yet he cares so much about our nation that is risking his life by proposing his ideas! :)
+vladimir cruz ..."The goal of socialism is communism." -Vladimir Lenin (Stalin's Communist mentor and leader)
+1on1 Once again, another idiot who seems to think that socialism started with Lenin. Read some political history texts, dumbass.
+Tom Scot but it's NOT communism. It's democratic socialism. Totally different part of the political spectrum. You've been force fed rhetoric that muddies this, ever since you were a child.
+1on1 you do know communists killed socialists? They practically used anything to make communists seem good. After their use was up they became "obstacles."
I cannot comprehend how you got your head so far up your ass that you think he is risking his life. How is he risking his life
Thank you for everything you fight for, Bernie. Truly, you are the president our nation deserves.
The Modern Roosevelt!
Please don't get on any small planes Bernie, we need more of your kind not less.
+Cameron Miller No worries. He usually flies coach, Southwest. haha.
+BeastestFriends Middle seat too, so if there's a wreck the passengers are human shields.
Bernie, look into how Iceland handled the banksters and the economic crisis. :)
Bernie is a step in the right direction, the rest is up to the voters.....
Always Bernie.❤
Bernie represents a lot of things, but above all he represents hope.
What a beautiful speech. Senator Sanders espouses the values of caring, compassionate, and forward-looking Americans unlike any other political leader in a long time.
As an Australian citizen, I was surprised to hear (in this speech) that the US does not have almost any of the social benefits that we have had in Australia for at least 40 years. Social protection of all Australian citizens include - universal medical care, minimum wage (I think around $16), discrimination law against gender & race, 4-5 weeks paid annual leave, 12-months Maternity leave, and others.
On the down-side, we still cannot face our terrible record of uniting with our aboriginals (first nation people) and our senior politicians still align with US and we constantly send our people to join US wars overseas.
+Bruce Beauchamp , imagine a world with President Sanders leading the US... The citizens of the world are ready to throw the sociopaths out of power and give peace and prosperity a chance. It would be wonderful if the US started to act like a democracy and promoted humane policies, instead of promoting Fascism worldwide.
+Bruce Beauchamp lol an aussie talking about discrimination.
How can you gloat about discrimination law and in the same comment talk about the aboriginals.
I didn't hear any news media even talk about this speach.
+ReligiousMilk And it's a damn shame.
Remember, the Revolution will not be televised.
NPR's marketplace did a piece on it.
+Banter Board We can't let them do to Bernie what they did to Ron Paul in the last election!
Foreign policy interest yesterday was at 14% per CNN next to over 40% health care (Iowa polls, 2020).
this was art, poetry, science!!
What an incredible speech and a brilliant man.
Very inspirational.
I so wish that he becomes President.
I linked this incredible speech to my facebook account and offered my friends the following words:
Look. I'll make you a deal.
Find time for one hour of Bernie Sanders this weekend, and I will give you two hours of my time for whatever you wish, barring something illegal or manual labor.
Ok. Maybe I will do something illegal, we can negotiate that.
Bernie talks to Georgetown U. Bernie hits the main points of his agenda as he always does. He also draws an inspiring comparison to the polices and programs and naysayers of FDR and delves a bit more than usual into foreign policy.
I have seen at least half a dozen of his rally speeches now, along with his debate and forum appearances and countless interviews.
This is his BEST one yet.
We are on the cusp of something miraculous here folks. We are staring through the looking glass on a better tomorrow for ourselves, our friends and family, our neighbors, and the world as we know it.
The vast majority of media are doing everything they can to paint this man as someone who has no shot. They WANT you to avoid listening to him. They are waiting with bated breath for one moment where this man slips up. But that is just the problem. This is not an ordinary politician. It is incredibly easy to sniff out bullshit. Bernie is as cool and as fresh as the other side of the pillow.
Take a chance. Start whipping up some breakfast, start cleaning out that spare room, start some long overdue body grooming project....just press play on this, keep your ears open, and let your mind tell you what to do next.
We do not need to be disenfranchised anymore. But this may be the only real hope in believing in the political process in our lifetime. Bernie says at one point (spoiler alert) - "do not be cynical".....Bern, you couldn't be more right. I am the biggest cynic I know. But I believe in you sir. Right person. Right place. Right time. I will not stop talking about you. I hear your rally cry. I have never felt a speech feel so historic -- "in the moment". I am just trying to turn the volume up a little bit more.
Pretty amazing how Sanders doesn't need to disable the comments on his videos.
"(Not the billionaires)" lol.
Great speech! really enjoyed it.
Clearly so much more fit to be president than any other person running.
Maybe there is hope for humanity.. yet.. Kind Regards from Denmark/Scandinavia.
wonderful speech I'm sharing it far and wide
24:35 “Let me explain what Democratic socialism means to me”*******
Matt Orfalea is this when it all began for you?
I can see the United States of America..... No, the WHOLE WORLD becoming way more peaceful with this man in charge. He's one of the main reasons why I'm turning to Writing, Technology, Traveling, Politics, and Philanthropy. He's got my vote and I seriously hope he wins. #FeelTheBern
Such an amazing person. He cares about us. This man needs to be our president.
Hands down his strongest, most poignant speech of his campaign thus far.
I can't believe there are heartless ppl that would thumbs down this talk. My Republican family likes to criticize me for my "naive bleeding liberal heart" And I say, fine I'd rather have that than a cold selfish greedy, service to self only heart.
Is there a transcript of this speech available?
+Joe Oberster berniesanders.com/democratic-socialism-in-the-united-states/
+Patty Smith ty
"Today in America." Say it, Bernie. Thank you.
I wish I were old enough to vote for him. I want to be part of the revolution!
THE BERN HAS AWAKENED. I'm so grateful to see this guy rising. I'd follow him to the end of the world. And I'm not from the US. Keep pushing, guys! Elect Bernie Sanders!
Wonderful Words and brilliant speech by Bernie Sanders
FEEL THE BERN!!!
Phenomenal speech!!!
He's absolutely right about his take on health care. I'm from austria and to us health care is hardly an issue at all. Sure you can buy yourself better options but generally speaking, you will be taken care of and it's not gonna harm your pocket. You pay for it over time by your taxes and it works pretty well. It's solidarity and it makes living a lot less stressful. Try it sometime!
18:15 almost highest rate of childhood poverty in America
Democratic socialism simply means, taxation WITH representation.
Which is what this country rebelled and fought for.
The American idea, that we are ALL equal under law, is democratic socialism.
+coltsrule5150
That's simply bullshit, dude.
Democratic Socialism is the government controlling and regulating everything. It's precisely not what the American Ideal was, is, or even should be.
America was supposed to be a Democratic Republic, and despite the Democratic Party's attempts over the last 70 years, that's what we still have today. It would be even more so if the Democratic Party simply wasn't so fascinated by Socialism, a political strategy that simply doesn't work.
Capitalism is America's economic strategy. It is precisely why we are "the richest country in the world."
The only real problem with this government is special interest groups more or less paying people to be their voice in the government. Both the Democrats and the Republicans are guilty of this. And yes, Bernie Sanders is one of those voices.
Just about the only candidate in any party that at least speaks for just himself is Donald Trump. People can say whatever they want about him - but no one owns him. And you can't take that away from him. Ron Paul ran for two candidacies straight, and was the same way. We should have gotten him while we had the chance. We really shouldn't pass up another opportunity like that.
Get rid of the special interests groups, and a lot of our "problems" would go away over night - guaranteed. All we need is a government that is blind to justice and just does what's right. The rest will literally take care of itself.
lol richest in the world xD
you do realize poverty, incarceration, education healthcare etc. are far better in many "poorer" countries?
dont kid yourself, money doesnt make you rich.
I know a good man when I hear one. You got my vote Bernie.
Well done. A lot that needed saying, and a candidate that would say it. This is what Obama could have been after Bush, if he'd lived up to the Hope. The 99% want and need an FDR to once again save democracy from capitalism run amok.
Feel the Bern 2016
Wonderful speech, Bernie! I look forward to seeing you as PRESIDENT! #FeelTheBern!
It is 2024! Bernie Sanders has been saying this for many years. It is PAST TIME TO LISTEN TO HIM!
Anyone who wants to support Bernie Sanders has to register as a Democrat in order to vote for him in the primaries against Hillary Clinton. Spread the word.
Great speech
He is saying everything I have been feeling for years!!! If this man doesn't win, I am moving out of the country.
This is Bernie's best speech.
got my vote sir!
Finally an important american politician telling the truth about US imperialism.
"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independance" is the cornerstone of Social Democracy :)
If you want to help Bernie, convince 2 people to vote for him. That´s how we did in Venezuela (where there is a dictatorship and many other horrors) and now we have 2/3 of the Parliament.
Polls have officially opened state wide in South Carolina. Vote vote vote for bernie if you live there please!👍🏻
from Portugal ... congratulations Bernie !!! ... Go Bernie ... thios is a speech !!
Why can't I like this more than once?
I'm on board! This revolution is moving!
such sincerity and compassion is bizarre to hear from an American politician. a magnificent speech. let's bring morality back.
Thank you to Senator Bernie Sanders for explaining very unfair criticism of core "social programs" in the US which he terms socialism and I do not (e.g., United Kingdom's National Health Services). It is however, a conversion to what is often called "welfare states" in the world (e.g., high reliance on government health care systems) which I also believe is inaccurate, at least at its initial inception. In the US, a mass conversion from an economy of manufacturing and industry to one termed the "service economy" did indeed occur.
Juile Ann Racino, American Society for Public Administration, 2020
this man is the next FDR !!! Magnificent
Now I see why they didn't show this on MSNBC
I love how he shows likes, dislikes and comments. Other politicians don't.
The BERN legacy #feelthebern
-supporter from India
Bernie Sanders- This Generations Nelson Mandela. What a kind hearted and decent man. I love this guy
what an inspiring man! so much common sense...
awesome from the great man.
I hope you win and transform America. Make America great again!
Bernie, I love you.
I would love to see Bernie address the need for Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors (LFTRs) as part of his energy policy.
How anybody can dismiss Bernie as wrong or stupid is beyond me.
Preach, Bernie! Because some things in life are worth preaching over. Way to get to the meat and potatoes of the current state of the working/middle classes, and what you plan to do about it. Folks, regardless of your political creed or allegiance this coming year, just get out and do your civic duty. This is what taking hold of our future looks like. There is no longer such a thing as "no reason to vote", however difficult our congressmen have made it. #bernie2016
This is THE issue of our lifetime. Volunteer in your community. It's not difficult and you'll likely meet really cool people. Bernie supporters are the best! Give Bernie gear for the holidays! Donate what you can. But volunteer, volunteer, volunteer. It's our country, let's take it back! Bernie Sanders in the primary and in 2016! BernieSanders.com
This is a speech for the ages and will go on in history on the right side of history.
Let this man be President and vote Midterms
Just came up in my Facebook memories. #hindsightis2020
True , healthcare must be for all people.
BernieNOW This is the guy to listen to and follow. He has the truly progressive policies that will raise the low and middle class up. He has led 5 bills this year in the Senate for low cost pharm, Medicare for all, $15 minimum wage, Green energy & jobs, Free Univ for familis making under $150.00.
I strongly support Bernie from South Korea
I take back the things that I said about bernie. This speech is great!
This kicks ass on his usual stump speech. Hope more folks can hear it before the convention......
Feel the Bern!
Socialism, a qualitatively new phase in the development of humanity, is a global system based on the conquest of political power by the international working class over and against the capitalist class, control of the productive forces, the commanding heights of the economy--finance, industry, transportation--by the international working class, the incentivization of cooperation rather than competition on a global level, democratic planning and stability rather rather than the insecurity and anarchy that characterize life under capitalism.
Socialism is the path towards the realization of humanity's immanence, i.e. its capability of controlling its own destiny in accordance with what is good for the species and in accordance with the full development of the kind of rich individuality the bourgeoisie claims is the fruit of capitalist society, but which it systematically tries to destroy when it stares them in the face.
Bravo Bernie
#Vote!
The wink at 3:36 is priceless!
Yes we can!
It's funny how he is probably literally the only candidate that doesn't close the comments. Really tells a lot doesn't it.
Bernie will be great for America. Hearing this speech, it seems odd how the US is so far behind the times. Almost all of the social security measures he proposes are taken for granted in my country (Portugal). To give you an idea "Social Democrat" is the name of the main CONSERVATIVE party in this country. It's about basic human rights and I hope that Americans now finally understand how they have been robbed of their rights. Vote Bernie!
this dude is awesome
Amazing human being.. I ask myself everyday... Have I been Bern enough today ?
3:30 almost every idea he introduced was called socialist huge applause. Lol
they left out the Q&A at the end that was pretty good too. great speech tho.
Keep on rocking Bernie,terveiset Suomesta!!
Best speech so far.
2020 is for us. Bernie for us. Medicare for all of us.
wow!
When you can't afford to do things, you aren't free to do those things. Pay walls are barriers to freedom. Ultimately, freedom means free of charge and free time away from workplace servitude and drudgery. Oppression is not just a police state, but the unlimited freedom of bosses to bully, exploit, overwork and dispose of employees. Wherever there are high profits, oppression is involved: denying people any actual choice about where they work, if they work, how much they are paid, how much they pay for everything they need, and little to no choice about what to buy. The ideal business deal is one in which the other party has no choice but to take your bad price. That is oppression, and that is where all modern slavery originates. The great deregulation in the name of freedom, the great casualisation and flexibility of labour markets in the name of freedom and efficiency has directly resulted in the recreation of actual human slavery, which is not rich people having to pay taxes, but people being bought and sold to perform unpaid work, including the US prison system, which flourishes through the exploitation of inmates as unpaid workers.
