Bernie Sanders questioned by Oxford Students 

I get depressed because he NOT our President!

In the early 1980s, conservatives tried to privatize Social Security. Tip O'Neal and the Democrats in congress blocked it. If Social Security had been privatized, almost everyone over 50 would be a millionaire by now. It would have alleviated the wealth gap to a large extent. If Bernie actually cared about poor and working class people, Bernie would be a Kennedy Reagan conservative.

@@practicaliching2311 You mean broke and flipping burgers for peanuts!

Sanders is the king of the frauds

That hope means the most when people stand up and push for leaders like Bernie... Closest we have to Bernie in Australia is the Greens. And I hope, for my children ... (I'm not far from 50 ), that they have more and more power to look after everyday people and the environment.

If he’d just have not used the Socialist word and moderated 5 policies, he’d be president. Let’s learn from that and win next time.

Him or Bobby Kennedy… Bobby would’ve easily been top five all time IMO.

😎😃❤️💯👏🥺🧡

@@blackout07blue Yes, the meaning of words are getting hijacked to mean different things to different groups. It’s devaluing the language.

is there a way to be a part of that too. He is taking the words out of my mouth and mind.

Lol I was thinking the same thing! I think he broke the AI kid’s heart.

OXFORDS STUDENTS : FOCK YOU HDN !!!!!

😂

I don't think you know what ruling class means...

They are not the .0001%

Absolutely. And would have been instead of trump if the DNC had only followed their own rules and listened to their constituents, instead they decided to override the wishes of the people they were supposed to represent

Bernie was cheated by the DNC in favor of Hilary per ex head of the DNC Donna Brazile. You can search it on RU-vid even and it comes up right away.

Exactly

People didn’t vote for him.

@@deriznohappehquite and the people got what they deserved.

bernie is a joke senator from a small state, never authored or passed any substantial legislation and does little but collect a government paycheck.

Best at what? He's done absolutely nothing in decades. Nothing.

Hong Kong pre 1997 takeover was pretty close to pure Laissez Faire government and (pure capitalism.) Hong Kong had the simplest tax code in the world. You could start a business in 1 day on 1 sheet of paper. It was a huge success. They ran unemployment rates near 1% for years on end, drew in capital from all over the world, HK had more Mercedes per Capita than any other country. Businesses on top of businesses. Envy of the world. And HK did it without any natural resources except a sea port. It's not capitalism that is the problem. Its government. When the bottom 1/5th of wage earners had their incomes rise the fastest out of all the income groups after the 2017 tax cuts. That was the first time that had happened since the George W Bush administration. Because both W. and Donald Trump used John F. Kennedy theories of using lower taxes, less immigration, and deregulation to tighten up the labor market. Which raises wages, allows mobility, allows for advancement, and gives people dignity. Compare that to the liberal policies of using high taxes, open immigration, and over regulation to put permanent slack into the labor market. Which lowers wages and drives up housing prices at the same time to the point tens of millions of people don't have any money left at the end of the month. AND IT'S THE LOWER WAGES AT THE BOTTOM THAT ALLOWS THE EXCESSES AT THE TOP. CAUSING THE WEALTH GAP. Bernie is for the billionaires. I know that's tough to hear for Bernie fans. You are being told the truth to free you from a prison you do not even know you are in.

@@practicaliching2311 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Yep, his policies ultimately help them.

@@edwinamendelssohn5129 What did your boy Trump do as President for the working class? Absolutely nothing.

He's Ripple

yeah its too bad he said hes gonna support Biden for reelection if he runs(and its being assumed he will).

Not enough people

I mean, also as a 81 year old man, I think he wants to get as much movement as possible for his joints lol

Are you related to Rip van Winkel? Have you been asleep while Bernie kissed up to all the people he was ragging on and wasted our working people's contributions supporting the worst president our country has ever know...yes even worse than Dubbiya andTrump and Reagan.

Hes trying to sit down but this dude is giving him new questions every 2 seconds

That of course doesn't guarantee that anything he says is true. He may think it's important...but is it true?

Bernie is a joke of a human being. He talks up what he thinks you will buy. A lot of what he says is true. But he is one of those millionaires who sucks hind teat for the billionaires he always talks about. Only revolution will dislodge them...not Bernie. When the billionaires arrive, Bernie genuflects. He is a fraud.

Unfortunately, young people came to his ralleys in droves, but didn't vote and that is one of the two major reasons why Bernie didn't win.

I was sad when Bernie didn't make pass the primaries that year, all the other candidates, even Elizabeth Warren, turned on him just so that Biden can get the spotlight. When you realize that the ones who runs the elections are arranged to where good folks like Bernie gets the boot, you know something is wrong with your political system and it needs change for the better.

Of all ages? I doubt that

And then they all voted for Biden.

@@jrad410 Yes, of all ages. I'm 71 and I was not alone in being an older person at his rallies.

​@@practicaliching2311 lmaooo

Maybe this new generation will destroy that matrix and break out of the simulation. In time we will get our answer.

If anyone has the power to influence these bright young people to use their resources (intelligence, connections, creativity, courage, perseverance and money) to solve rather than exacerbate our problems, Bernie can 👍!

Sad but true.

But Johnson’s generation wasn’t free of racism, xenophobia, sexism.. on contrary.. and also didn’t have the most important tool, social media, so while enlightenment never stopped with social media it can be speed up, but also the other way, how maga cult/desinfo proved.. yet it was Gen Z who voted maga out in record numbers,midterms Blue Tsunami, having as a source of information social media..

You've pre-empted my point perfectly. Of course 99% is a lot bigger number than 1% but what side of the divide are this audience going to be on?

NEED HIM !!!! NEED !!

No we don’t. He is a 3 house owning socialist. Hypocritical as they come. And also one of the few who Presidential candidates that broke campaign finance laws and was convicted

His honesty in offering no actual solution. Whoopdie doo.

RESPECT HIM, BERNIE SANDERS? PURE BACK ELBOW, LIARS AND TRAITORS !!!!!!!!!! WATCH AND SEE THEM HANDLING, YEAH, THE OPPOSITE !!!

doesn't he have multiple massive houses? Kind of seems like a fraud to me.

@@benjaminrobinson9140 yeah, he’s accumulated a fair amount wealth over a long period of time, including a few homes. I don’t know how massive they are though, and I wouldn’t say he’s a massive fraud. Compared to a lot of politicians here he’s a saint lol

He is the opposite of Trump. He is a brilliant public servant steeped in Democratic belief.

He stands like a bowling ball in front of Joe Biden's wrecking ball. It is cheating to abandon the movement you start. Bernie is no AMLO, It's a shame. Shame on Bernie.

Yet your avatar is of racism and bigotry. You need to piss right off with your fictitious praise.

You do realize that Bernie doesn’t care about you at all. He is a walking hypocrite.

Would that be the multi millionare Bernie Sanders, by any chance?

@Jonathan Banner interesting you should say that, as I believe that a person bailed out the DNC and subsequently became a candidate, then kept Mr Sanders from being nominated -- and I feel certain, elected -- in 2016. In hindsight, it appears that ANY OTHER person the party nominated would have beaten TFG, even with foreign interference.

​​@Jonathan Banner I think Elizabeth Warren has a much better chance if she runs. She'd have to support medicare4all though. Williamson was a bit of a joke at the last election

@Danielle Furci Here's a question: "Bernie, why did you betray your millions of followers by saying nothing when the DNC rigged the nomination process in 2016 and 2020?" ---And here's a question for his followers: "Why did you let him remain silent?"

AMEN! I even wrote his name in! 👍✊🖖🇺🇸

A large segment of the American population has been brainwashed into believing that Sanders and similar politicians are out to get them in every way imaginable. At the same time, the U.S. electoral college system causes states with lower populations (usually more conservative) to have a disproportionate impact in our presidential elections. This is not to mention the issue of gerrymandering at the state politics level, lowering education standards, difficulty in taking time off of work to vote, etc.

Many Americans don’t want that. They have been systematically programmed to believe in individualism and independence. At the bare bones, they believe life is “survival of the fittest.” It’s a very sad place to be as a society.

Well.... we also have a huge media complex that tells lies people believe. Also, when Bernie was about to win, the democratic party trashed him, and he didn't fight back, at all..... So yes, his words are great, he's a nice guy, and he can't get crap done!!

Unfortunately no we do not. We’ve been sold a can of lies that government is inherently corrupt and dysfunctional, so we don’t believe that there is a solution to these problems.

Yes, so warm and loving. 🤣

@@ivormectin.3046

"British" not a single one of them in the room is British; they're the pampered globalist elite who abhor the country they sit in and wish to suck it dry of resources to fuel their global city mentality.

@@Tehhelpfulmincrafter I know what you mean but I'm not sure I agree. Bernie is such a well known and respected individual in leftist communities not only in the U.S. but globally as well. As leftist movements gain more traction, popularity and effectiveness, so will his name and reputation. I think decades down the line Bernie will be the one most people will point to as getting them thinking about these systems when they were younger.

@SD789 It all depends on what happens to his movement & progressivism in the United States. Could be that 4 years from now a younger Bernie-esque politician wins the Dem nomination and becomes a revolutionary president. In that case, Bernie will be viewed as the godfather and beginning of that transformative time in US politics. Either way, I think Bernie has planted more than a few seeds for future progress in the US and among the youngest generations, who will wield incredible power in just another decade or two.

@SD789 Bernie Sanders literally almost won the Dem nomination (twice). He scared the party so bad, they all had to come together at the last moment and pull out every last stop they could. You're vastly underestimating both him and a future pro-worker candidate that adopts his policies. Bernie-style progressives have already won all over the country on the federal level, so he's already accomplished more than Eugene V. Debs according to your own description.

I could see him being viewed similarly to Cato the Younger in Roman classical antiquity, Cato's (for the time) conservative worldview notwithstanding. Especially since "conservatism" in Rome during his lifetime was really just upholding status-quo Roman antipopulism and senatorialism against upstart authoritarians like Caesar. He and Bernie likely may have agreed on this position. I think the respect Bernie garners for his work and unshakable integrity, but mostly just his sense for PEOPLE - his ability to tap into what we're all feeling and what we all need to hear - is the most precious virtue he shares with Cato and one he'll hopefully be looked upon kindly for centuries after we're gone.

Sander's is more a snake oil salesman that, if America ever embraced socialism, would largely be remembered as someone who help popularise an economic system that fails miserably every time. His entire book blames everything on Capitalism, never addresses the shortcomings of his own ideology, doesn't bother explaining why Socialism is superior, and then calls for mass wealth redistribution. What a hero.

They all know what Bernie knows, they just do not care. They would gladly join the 1% than raise the middle class.

Maybe I'm just pessimistic but I think most of them do understand what's wrong, they just don't want to change it.

@@samueljhughes Exactly, it's simply easier to play the fool.

They have the insight, but greed is addictive

It’s also incredibly hard. Bernie is pretty unique currently. It takes years of practice to become as articulate and still passionate as Bernie.

@@aclark903 Thank you for giving me the chance to learn

Look at Bernie's history. He has been consistent in his message since the late 80s when he was first elected to Congress (before he was a Senator). He was an early propoment for a national (government provided) healthcare system. When she was First Lady, before she had received any lobbyist money, she made it her focus to try to get Congress to pass a national healthcare system. At the press conference announcing this initiative, she introduced her great ally from the Congress...Representative Bernie Sanders from Vermont.

Bernie was cheated by the DNC in favor of Hilary per ex head of the DNC Donna Brazile. You can search it on RU-vid even and it comes up right away.

Thankfully as Bernie mentions frequently, there’s over 100 young and diverse progressives in US Congress today. When he started there were 5!

As long as you follow Bernie, you'll sob alone. Bernie abandoned M4A a long time ago. Even earlier he abandoned all his followers.

What he said is important but he brings No Solutions.

Bernie's brother is a former Spokesman of the Green Party in England. It's not surprising he's nearly as invested in Britain's politics as he is in his own country. Bernie seemed to be hoping for the success of Labour quite a bit, back before they began sabotaging themselves that is.

Because Democrats and Bernie can not get these things done on their own with such slim margins in the House and Senate.

@@yuridouche6195 well, Congress is Congress. That’s not really his stomping ground if he gets elected president. His cabinet, on the other hand, would be epic. I can just imagine the sorts of people he would choose as his treasury secretary, Labor secretary and secretary of education to say nothing of surgeon general. I also don’t think he would hesitate to use executive orders to make things happen. As far as addressing the majority issue in Congress, he excels at grassroots mobilization. Perhaps, the first two years of his term would be shaky and bumpy because of slim majorities. I think the second set of two years of his first term would be quite different. He would have the bully pulpit to mobilize the voters. He is quite the speaker when he hits his stride and really gets going. This video doesn’t do him justice. I’ve never seen any other American politician so effectively connect with the crowd in modern times. Barack Obama comes close. Damn him, so does Trump. But even he can’t quite do what Bernie can do.
