Corporations control anything they wish. 💪😎✌️ That's the power behind having tons of coin, connections, crews, clout, computer code, corporate cronies, etc. #BeRichOrBEGONE
@@jenniferpazmino7139 Good on you dear. I voted for him in the 2016 primary & was thrilled when he won our state, Michigan. Sadly in 2020 the primary was canceled & we can let RFK Jr grumble about why LOL! 🇺🇸 Wouldn't it be great to have 99 more senators just like Bernie?
He,s an all out Marxist/Socialist who accomplishes ABSOLUTELY NOTHING as all GOOD Socialists do!!! Harris is the VERY SAME!! ALL TALK,,,and DO NOTHING!!! All about bigger gov,t and bigger admin!! GARBAGE CANS RANTING!! Why is he still in politics???? To train the others,,,that,s why!!!
Bernie Sanders is a true patriot who represents the working class, the poor and the unfortunate. He is a courageous man who ‘tries” to effect change through legislation, and actions. Bernie is an American Hero. Thank you Bernie 🙏🏼
Every little thing that we the people have gotten in recent decades, Bernie had a hand in it, so he has done more than 'try.' It's just such a long haul, a tedious and relentless fight that he wages on our behalf for anything we get. Clinics in rural areas, cutting of insulin price gouging, some people getting some student loan relief, to name a few of the things he has helped to effect. He keeps co-sponsoring bills, often working across the aisle, and pushing the politicians who are owned by special interests and big money donors to do better by their constituents. Every politician out there knows that Bernie is the real deal. Even the ones who fight him and call him ridiculous things and lie to the people all day long will sometimes break down and remark about how honest Bernie is. I don't see how Bernie can stand to be around the bulk of them.... but that is just another one of his talents, his God-given gifts and demonstration of his fortitude.
Senator Bernie Sanders sociall security is not what it should be when my wife started her disability later I got my social security when I started they lowered both of our income it's not fair thank you senator Bernie Sanders
Problem is the only way I think the American people can unite behind him is if he is the Democrat nominee. Did he run in the 2016 election as an Independent? Please forgive my ignorance , but I just started paying attention to politics during COVID-19 pandemic cuz I was pissed that I might die and wondered why the cards always seemed stacked against me even though I have a fairly high IQ and have worked hard for what is now 39 years of my life.. My ignorant ass voted for the first time in 2020. In my defense, I was too tired and busy surviving and raising my kids and paying the bills to even pay attention, and I think that's probably the case for many many others in my generation ( generation x). I also think the maga extremists know this and are "going in for the kill" now. I say we must unite, all working class Americans. "United we stand, divided we fall". I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
@amybabbitt4198 Bernie Sanders ran as a Democrat but Hillary got the nomination😢. Many people didn't pay attention until tRump, but hopefully, we keep paying attention from now on and get young people engaged in politics, too.
This is SO powerful. It is sad. It is true. It is America's shame. I would never have called myself a Progressive. Just a hardworking American teacher who owned a small business destroyed by the 2008 recession. I am all for this.
So you agree, you still are making the same mistake & expecting a different result. You demand the super wealthy 1% represent you & you refuse to nominate/elect middle-class representation. Then you wonder why it’s not working out for you. 😂
I'm from New Zealand, I follow US politics because the decisions made in the US affect us all globally, there should be more people like Senator Bernie Sanders, he fights for truth he fights for justice he fights for so many doing all he can. Thank you Bernie, you are one person we are lucky to have in the Senate. Thank you for all you do. ❤
New Zealand looks like an awesome and progressive country. It has come to terms with its past. And looking brightly into the future. Best wishes to you
You had a good PM in Jacinda Ardern, a social democrat and progressive...too bad the international corporate establishment and media conspired to put pressure on her that led to her resignation.
Thank you Bernie! ❤ I spent everything I had on doctor bills and sham insurance over the years. Lost my little assets to the housing bubble. Lost my apartment to a $200/month rent hike. Spent 2 years homeless. While I finally got a HUD apartment (with a slumlord), my income is under $12K. Life is impossible. Thanks for fighting the Good Fight!
Bernie has a calculator! Or at least he has a Brain! But what he also has is a HEART! And that should be all any of us should need to see the truth in everything he said in this speech.
@@danadcock9743 OK show me the math, on all those things he wants government to fund. Show me how much more income you’re gonna get from the rich people and show me how much all that stuff‘s gonna cost.
@@markgigiel2722 Done it in the past where? When he was running for President and talking about breaking up the banks, he had zero plans for what we would do as an alternative. None. He's the kind of politician who promises everyone a free pony, but can't explain how we're going to pay for it, feed it, or house it. Then when someone asks these very basic questions, his response is that they don't want you have one. Bernie is all talk and no substance. Lovely ideas, but no way to execute them. Thank you, next.
And not only THAT @rogue_two... The people RESPONSIBLE for ROBBING Bernie of his candidacy (the DNC) are some of the SAME people talking about "we need to SAVE DEMOCRACY!" 😢
@@catherinewhite3508 well the people would still be required to petition the government, a president is not a dictator or wait, I think you know what I mean though. Bernie is such an important voice. I hope someone can carry his torch one day.
It’s disgusting how the party turned on this man to prevent him from being President. I’ll never forgive Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren dropping out, to put the favor to Biden. Bernie is one of the last that truly gives a damn for the average working person.
Thanks Bernie-- we appreciate you telling our Congress to start doing there jobs correctly, like talking about issues on the floor that make all of the American peoples life better. 👍 😮❤❤❤
The quality, affordability and availability of food in the US is declining. ~40 million Americans (12.5% total) don't have enough to eat, including ~8 million children, ~783,000 of which are starving. More than half a million Americans are homeless. America is many good things, but has a sick society, primarily because of greed. I know, because I traveled the country for 54 years and now suffer from the inequality.
Sen. Bernie Sanders is the loudest and most consistent voice for the ordinary American in Washington. He understands our daily struggles just trying to make ends meet. The hardships we face trying to feel secure and get ahead.
Like we need a super wealthy 1% advocating for us by equivocating every issue as monetary. Even babies are just a $ amount to Bernie, not real humans. Dollars don’t fix what is wrong. Dollars don’t stop his kind from seeing you & yours as assets only. Duh.
@@VVVVV99611 she's talking out her ass while telling others to learn. Classic internet moron. And I'm pretty sure the other person was using sarcasm anyway. Which makes it even dumber. 👍 Anyway... Most recent data on his website is 2018, he made 566k. Besides, kinda hard to accuse someone of something they're literally actively fighting against. 😂
My God.. how Americans need more leaders like this man. I am not from nor have ever been to Vermont but how lucky you are to have representation like this. God bless you Bernie.
Thank you, Bernie, for your many, many years of service to our country. Thank you for being a strong, loud voice for the working class, the unions & their workers. Thank you for the love & dedication to our constitution, our democracy, & we the people. I'm forever grateful, with respect & love from TX. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
We lost on aggressive progress that we direly needed in this country. And we are paying for it. All because of selfishness. I'll never forgive them for it.
Thank you, Senator Sanders! Thank you for your never-ending battle to help the working class. I am ten years younger than you and have no idea how you have the energy and stamina you do. Your lifetime commitment to help Americans is awe inspiring.
@@JamesSmith-ij8nj hahahaha your blind,,, wat if Putin takes over ukraine? you think he stops there? he wil put nukes back in your backyard like Nikita did. just to make you run for cover again, and start making nuke shelters again. tax the wealthy , and pay for it that way hurts nobody, cos they have way more cash than they need , if i earn 20,mil a year,, wat wil it hurt me to pay 1 mil more on taxes? nada i won't even notice it,,, but the rest of the country would,,,,, heathcare better roads, and enough cash to pay for high speed trains,, and better ifra structure.. so, listen to Berni and start making Amerika Great again,,,, and put the mony were the mouth is... is stead of filling the pockets of the filthy rich..
@@JamesSmith-ij8nj We give them weapons we are going to decommision soon. We pay Americans to build or develop new weapons and count that as foreign aid. If you aren't being told how that works maybe consider finding sources with better information.
@tarajoyce3598 What sources are you relying on? Those that told us Russis Russia Russia. Or that Joey was cognizant? Why didn't we sell them? Oh right, Joey wouldn't get enough. Believe what you want, but cash assets were GIVEN.. Our money... Can we expect repayment? Then can we talk about the violent innsurection(s) . Twice,through violence, duly elected governments were overturned. TWICE. Zs party was part of it. Zs party, the ones using swastikas...
Thank you Mr. Sanders for your good work and fight for a level of morality that represents a civilized society instead of the corrupt malignant capitalism America is experiencing!
@@patriciam8813 I'm a Social Democrat and support Bernie's policies. but Trump became president because of Bernie and his supporters not voting for Hillary. Blaming hillary and the media is a red herring. The numbers prove it. Weimar 2.0
Social Security needs a raise! Tax The Rich Tax The Corporations Tax The Mega Church's! Take Care Of Our Elderly! The Cost Of Living Is Leaving Them Living In Poverty!
If you tax the rich and powerful, I’d say there’s a good chance that they’ll just increase the prices of their products/services to make that money back
It’s not even “healthcare” it’s really “sick care” because the medical and pharmaceutical industries don’t make money from healthy people. Sorry the truth hurts
Tax the Churches??? Are you retarded??? Breaking up Monopolies has been in the Laws for a long long time. The Government enforces none of the Laws they're supposed to. As for Free Healthcare. Due to Government Regulation of Healthcare Providers and price fixing.... Healthcare is absurd because it rises with TAXES. So, due to Governmental Regulations... Free Healthcare thru Taxation isn't possible. No amount of the Rich People in America could afford the sheer cost of Healthcare for All US Citizens. Let alone the Free Healthcare being handed out to non Citizens.
Starts with repealing Citizen's United If Citizen's United was repealed there wouldn't be any Elon Musk's able to contribute $45M to a Presidential candidate. Then remove corporate lobbyists and change it to where Corporations are not considered "people" by the Constitution and do not have Constitutional protections. The PEOPLE with a pulse should always be protected.
Is there anybody in the Senate? They all leave when Bernie starts talking. Bernie needs to leave this right-wing Uniparty. They will never do anything for us. They don't care about us. They just care about their wealthy donors. I've been listening to this speech since the late 70s. Things just get worse for working people. This can't go on.
This is effecting the entire Western world, Canada is in similar downward spiral, so is much of Europe. Don't believe what they say about China, they've brought a billion people out of poverty, while we have shrunk our middle class. American corporations/military industrial complex/government always has to meddle and drag us into wars with them. This system is failing.
Americans would benefit so much from a change in the political system away from the electoral college and 2 parties to a broader spectrum of parties with a minimum vote threshold like most European democracies. I for the live of me will never understand how Americans can just accept the deeply flawed democracy like that. Imagine being left with the choice of Hillary Clinton or Trump.
@@hammurabii.3173 Americans would have to stop worshiping the wealthy & pretending they are wealthy. I’ve been saying this since the 70s. So far no one cares.
Bernie Sanders is the only person in the United States Congress who has the Constitutional Fortitude to tell the TRUTH about the State of the Nation almost every day, just as he did in this speech. No one else out of those 535 elected representatives of the American people beats the drum of economic fairness for our less privileged citizens and asks the oligarchs and Big Business, Insurance, Pharma, Energy, Real Estate, Etc! like Bernie does! Thank You, SIR!
Yep, you are what the voice in your head tells you that you are. And in this case, Bernie is telling everyone how downtrodden they are, thus keeping them the victim.
Right! We know he's in the minority, because if the majority thought like him policy would change. I'm always shocked in a day in age when we can research how and what our elected officials for that people still be voting in people that go against their interests. There's no excuse. If your elected officials aren't doing their job vote them out.
@@BLARG09 and what policy change, tax the workers and redistribute the money to those who are choosing to not work. This is called enabling. the Democrats are good at creating problems and using my wallet to solve them.
Every single word is completely reasonable. Every citizen of America deserves the same healthcare as that provided to all members of Congress and the Senate. Dental care is healthcare too, when is that ever going to sink in?
Just brought me to tears. Because he is old where are the young leaders that speak like this? It feels like he’s the last one defending real democracy.
Wow! I am not American, but lord, does he speak with integrity. Be it America or Europe, his words are 100% true. This is the truth we should focus on, not putting our focus on mindless political banter. Vote the greedy ones out!
Bernie, I am a Maryland teacher and see first hand childhood poverty. I just turned 59 and am terrified of what could happen to my Social Security and Pension when I do retire at 67. Everything you said is spot on and the rich put their fingers in their ears and close their eyes because they are too greedy to dig into their deep pockets to help another human being. Thank you for being a voice for the working class people. I appreciate all you are trying to do for us!
