Sanders vs. Warren with Nathan J. Robinson | Useful Idiots 

People LOVE Bernie. I don't know anyone who LOVES the other candidates.

My heart, vote, and as of a few minutes ago, another donation.

I Love Bernie Too but Dems screwed him over in 2016 and in 2020 Andrew Yang has that same Bernie feeling!

Elle Moss . Warren is way better than Bernie. More specific plans, more depth of knowledge of various issues. Plus, she isn’t 90 and can actually win

Plus warren rolled millions in corporate donations she already had from her senate run into her primary campaign after claiming money was the problem and promising to go corporate donor free in the primary. Warren has already sold us out. She says the right stuff, mostly, but it's copied from Bernie and she is cozying up to large monied interests if she makes the general. Warrens plans involve small incremental changes which republicans will push back on hard along with her donors and we will get 4 more years of barely anything will fundamentally change.

absolutely and voted for TRUMP's bloated military budget. She's a fraud as far as I'm concerned.

All of this pales in comparison to how she claimed to be a "100% grassroots funded campaign", and then we just found out she collected corporate PAC money and used big money bundlers in her 2018 bid and moved over around $10 million to her 2020 campaign, completely LYING to us and betraying the trust of anyone who was contemplating voting for her. In addition to already admitting she will take corporate money in the general election. This is more important than anything because money is the root of what corrupts politicians.

Do you know what socialism is and what Bernie believes? There is a difference.

@Susan Wisner This is a very accurate discription of the power shift that happened in the Democratic Party prior to Bernie Sanders elevating his message and where it stands now. ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IvyX-f6j_6E.html

And there's the division, right there. Americans simply don't understand socialism enough to know how much it could empower workers (at the cost of greedy corporations, which we've come to worship as a secular religion). We're too busy mindless being enslaved by our brands and creature comforts to notice the giant boot on our heads.

You gotta say trigger warning before

Warren's fine... she's fine honestly she's better than the other outcomes. Bernie is gonna get Corbyned. So, Warren's fine

@@barbodjahed2399 Fine😂 republican lite politicians are NEVER fine.

@@barbodjahed2399 in the way that Obama was fine, which gave us Trump.

@@joolzvega7298 That is exactly what I keep telling people. We got Trump because of Obama. If we get another do nothing centrist, we'll get worse than Trump.

Good thing we can meet climate change half way, build a wall and make the ocean pay for it. I'm sure Mother Nature is very agreeable and will see the value in compromise.

And Bernie is an 78 year old white male. Brave of you to support someone so radically different.

James Williams , You need to support Warren. She has a much better chance in winning, she’s crushing him in the polls, & she’s a solid progressive.

@tripp warrens so progressive she rolled millions in corporate donations from her senate run into her primary campaign after promising not to take corporate money in the primary. She already sold us out, Bernie never will he's the most consistent canidate in history and never has taken big money. Ever.

Bless you, the rare nonchud ethical boomer. Much love James ;p

you might enjoy The Majority Report and The Michael Brooks Show.

@@vinanoir Michael Brooks is awesome. I hope he gets on here at some point especially cuz Matt's been on his show in the past.

@@vinanoir Yea, the Majority Report, where Hillary Clinton and all the other neoliberal trash gets glowing reviews...it's AS IF you're watching corporate media. So awesome!

Watch Jamarl Thomas! He is a progressive and usually finds a way to connect current politics to a historical context

@@dfez6884 Jamarl is a badass. 👍

DrSourPurp we applaud you !👏👏👏

By any means necessary Bernie 2020

Keep up the great work out there! We’re rooting for you 🤗🤜🏾🤛🏻

Thank you

Warren is a liar and a cheat. It starts with claiming Native American heritage for her own personal gain, and it continues with hiding in 2016 to protect her ass and undermining 2020 for her own personal gain. She has pissed me off, screwed Bernie, screwed us all. I will vote Third party if she is the candidate. She doesn’t believe even 50% of what she is saying. Russia is no threat to our elections. The treat is the media and the Democrats.

Oh yeah, listen to the words of a politican who disappoints with his actions. Sanders also basically promises rainbows and unicorns if he becomes president. Like Trump, Sanders is a narcissist, but at least Trump isn't in denial about it. (It's a Dem tradition to be the ones with the elaborate BS. Reps are more shamelessly open.) Bernie Sanders' initials should wake people up, hah.

That's it in a nutshell!!!

Stacy Oneill : it’s strictly #Bernie, baby❤️✊🏾🌎✌🏾💯

Dowlphwin : life must be a bitter barrel of apples laden with razor-blades for you…🍎

Thumbs up even though your statement was a bit inconprehensible.

Tim Kaine.

Warren would be better served as Chair of the Federal Reserve

Niccole A She’ll probably pick a Tim Kane.

She couldn't win a coin toss with 100 tries. I think the dems want to lose. I think they want anyone other than Bernie - and of course Tulsi.

I agree. "Capitalist to the bone" is either a pathology, an article of religious faith, or pandering.

Sanders is not a socialist. That's just his favorite self-perception, his own version of narcissism to boost his troubled ego. Someone once said it best: Sanders is a 1930s Democrat. Call him a "social democrat" at best, but the Dems are supposed to be social anyway, and we have a party with that label in Germany, too. Political labels are usually bullshit.

@@ericpmoss Sounds like a religion to me...these people worship corporations like they're the second coming of Jesus Christ.

@@yomomma5086 He identifies as a democratic socialist: I think the man himself is allowed to use that definition as he wants to. True, in any other country he would be a moderate social Democrat, but in the US (where we've gone off the capitalist cliff multiple times, particularly during the 2007-2008 housing crisis) he's very much part of the "far left". Americans are discovering through him, however, just how common sense our supposed "far left" is...because we let our political ruling elite in DC take us further than further rightward, for almost half a century now.

Actually, Bernie Sanders is what's called a Social Democrat. He's a reformer ... a Keynesian. He's not a Socialist, he doesn't advocate for revolution and the purging of the bourgeoisie. And I hate the introduction of the term "Democratic" Socialist as if there's any other kind.

Did she apologize eventually?

TCt83067695 She originally had corrected herself for her assumptions but then after the event happened, she came for him again for some reason. She’s probably just surrounded by a lot of shallow liberals who support warren because she has a vagina.

Yep, as I watched AHS the other night with her in it I was just like I cant believe this chick. Nice of her to crap on her own fans that are Bernie supporters.

thats what I thought! I was like, those are critical opinions.. not assaults! wtf??

I saw the article with the headline Katie mentioned. She should have made it clear that those are the quoted tweets from the article itself. They couldn't even cherry pick a nasty one or two. ALL of them were standard reasoned rebuttals.

WARren is fauxgressive, and will throw us under the bus same as what Hillary Clinton did in 2016.

I have no faith WARren will stop or slow the American genocide of poor indigenous brown/black people for their natural resources, but hey! she wants to make our MIT more greeeeeeeen! Wooo!!

@@acomatosemob YES. Remember when we were sold on another "liberal" Massachusetts senator in 2004? She's just another pro-Israel corporatist, militarist Democrat.

3 Kindaish Yang/Tulsi (still have criticisms of both one on their more libbertarian beliefs and the other's problematic foreign policy positions) 4-I will write in Sanders/DeBlassio.

3. Marianne; 4. Bernie

Have you looked into Andrew Yang?

@@sebbywarcraft3398 yes, he's an idiot

Mine is #1 - Sanders, my #2 - Tulsi/Yang ⬅ I like some of their policies, but Tulsi's been disappointing lately with her voting for Trump's increased military budget just like Warren, her wavering away from M4A, and her cozying up to Modi & her poor response to the crisis in Kashmir....and Yang has issues in that he mistakenly refuses to tax wealth class or go after Silicon Valley, he wants to prosecute Assange, and he's weak on foreign policy and comprehensive educational reform. His climate proposal is also very unrealistic bc there's alot of reliance on untested technologies that aren't even close to being ready for mass implementation (nuclear fusion, thorium & molten salt reactors, space mirrors, etc). He naively puts too much faith in them without understand the amount of time it takes to build these plants (nuclear power can take anywhere from 12 to 43 years!), which doesn't work within the deadline to reduce our CO2 levels. They also have dangerous consequences, nuclear power being incredibly volatile and waste-inefficient. His plan sounds "cool" to the uninformed, but there's alot of problems with it. *BUT* at least he and Tulsi created their own climate plans, while Warren aka "Ms. I have a plan for that" apparently DIDN'T have a plan, and hijacked Jay Inslee's proposal when he dropped out. Warren is #4 for me, only bc she also hijacked alot of Bernie's ideas and I hope she's smart enough to include him as VP or in a cabinet position. Obviously I'd choose any of them over neoliberals, but luckily I don't have to choose a lesser evil. Thank goodness for Bernie or I'd be sweating trying to weigh my vote for the others. His integrity and consistent record fighting for the people makes my decision a no-brainer.

Bryan Newton Right because those guys get rich thinking 🤔 it will make them happy then find out wealth doesn’t make their lives fulfilling and they’re depressed

And another reason why billionaires shouldn't exist.

funglegunk That is a remarkable insight. The problem with Saturday night live is that they only satirize people based on personalities not policies. Saturday night live is run by rich pricks who don’t care about policies.

Twice, two days in a row, Spicer said something "anti-semitic", adjacent stating in plain english for everyone that our mission was to "destabilize Syria". Of course, MSM cherry picks their clips tightly, but it was a nice try.

I...hadn't thought of that before. It certainly sounds plausible! That seems to be the problem with a lot of comedians of late, even ones I had/have loved.

Oh my gosh that's very interesting. Never considered that. So I've thought about it and decided that it might not be the case. If Trump got a spot on the show, it wouldnt work despite Alec Baldwin's depiction. So I think the factor at fault here is actually the dereliction of journalistic duty by the media that often does a dreadful job reminding the public of heinous crimes these loathsome figures committed when they inevitably crawl back out of their rock for that public image rehabilitation tour. Like everyone has been making fun of the stupid green shirt, but Kate is the first media outlet that actually reminded me about his 'Hitler didn't gas his own people' gaffe. So my tldr is: I think media is at fault not comedians. Besides they won't have had to come in to fill the void if journalists actually informed the public like they are supposed to.

Ya the corporate media has a way of rehabilitating these vile sub humans. Look at George Bush, his image was totally restored.

i'm sure he'll get beaten up again for you

He got manhandled and dragged, not necessarily beat up. And it was for a civil rights protest where Bernie chained himself to 2 black women laying down in front of a bulldozer. I'm a die-hard Bernie supporter, and I love that he marched with MLK, but let's get our facts straight so that Bernie dissenters don't accuse us of misinformation.

@@YourMajesty143 Shit, thank you for correcting me!

It's a great overview 👍

Allen Gigika Respectfully disagree. Andrew Yang’s policies are what Americans need.

Sebby Warcraft I get it, agree to disagree My number one issue is healthcare for all and make sure that we have single payer. No other candidate is for that and showing that they are willing to fight for it when in office like Bernie.

Allen Gigika That’s a bold assumption lol Andrew Yang is, his approach is different, rather than pull the rug from under those who actually like their private insurers, he’d rather present M4A as the better option and as people start to realize the government-induced competition, as well as private companies who will then lower their prices so that they are more affordable, those companies will either have to match those costs more or less or be close down. www.yang2020.com/policies/medicare-for-all/ In addition to that, Bernie’s policies aren’t in it for the long-run and don’t help Americans as much as some people may think whereas Yang’s does.

Sebby Warcraft actually it’s quiet the opposite if private health insurance stay around they will eventually take all the healthy patients and leave the sick to m4A, and eventually cut their funds..you know as they do now, 2: ubi without price anchors is horrible for the future, look at what happened in Finland when they tried it, It’s as if I’m speaking to a republican, but if that’s the case then welcome to the left Only Bernie.

If by price anchors, you specifically mean curtailing asinine housing, education, and healthcare expense, then yes there are and he has policies that address these individually. Using Finland as an example doesn’t prove anything except the benefits that can come from UBI. Those in that study that reduced the amount of time they worked primarily did it to spend that time to raise their kids, which is just as valuable, if not more, than any 9-5 job. On the other hand, a version of UBI has been in effect in Alaska for several decades now, and as their oil is what funds their dividend, for the rest of America, it will be the tech check, funded by our data that we’ve seen no returns on. It’s the 21st century and data is now even more valuable then oil, this is how we move our country forward in the right direction.

lololololololol

Lmao hey me too

Thanks for Trumping in the show, it is important

They're sitting at a table. How good do the stands need to be?

@@bongodave13 they seem to be doing a great job

New motto: Too large needs to fail.

Steven Kileen Anarchy is the best system for equality and to prevent world devastation. Everyone with as equal and as little power as possible is when humans will finally be free from oppression. That does mean no more corporations too. Does Matt know he's an anarchist? He might be smart enough not to label himself knowing that many people will shut down and stop listening when they hear that word.

@David Morris No it means living without rulers but not living without rules. If you need to be ruled and you need to follow a "leader" that's on you. I suggest you try to empower yourself and grow out of that childish phase.

Murdering people in the streets...no I think you're thinking of capitalism....

punchrover YES!! she’s a crook

You're going to blame her for the fact that an entire Senate body which was controlled by Republicans didnt press charges, a thing that Congress doesnt actually have the power to do?

Karen Cole blaming the republicans is BS of course they wouldn’t have allowed it but she could’ve made an attempt but she didn’t Actions speak louder than words Shes a dog and pony show

Absolutely!!!

Amen. Hope she takes aim against WARren

Tulsi has an Hindutva issue.

Haha yea loved the sarcasm. Bernie supporters just state the facts plain and simple, that's why we like Bernie, he does that too.

DM Matt on Twitter

If Warren really cared about beating Trump, she wouldn't be trying to subvert the first real grassroots political movement of our lifetime - a movement that Would Have Defeated Trump. The obvious best move would have been to pitch in and help strengthen/expand Bernie's bloc - the incredible phenomenon that sprang full-blown onto the scene in '16.

Nathan F He’s great 👍🏾

guess what? you have to work with people who don't 100% agree with you to get anything done in the American political system

@@noneofyourbusiness4616 Guess what? Compromising from the beginning with the forces of corporate greed & the war machine is what got us into this mess. Warren '20 is like Obama of '08 - lots of progressive rhetoric mixed with backdoor deals with the establishment elites & taking tons of their evil money $$$. The Tea Party has won: the Dem establishment hemorrhaged over a thousand seats in the govt during Obama's reign, & friggin Trump is prez. We need to be as uncompromising in our progressive & democratic-socialist values as the Tea Party was in their conservative, racist, & fascist values. No more corporate/centrist/warmonger wolves in sheep's clothing like Warren & Obama!!

@@sikavik I have no argument with you as long as you vote Democratic if he doesn't win the nomination. Because anyone who doesn't do so is throwing a lot of vulnerable people who need non-psychotic government services under the bus. This overdramatic rhetoric of "they're all evil except Bernie" has the obvious consequence of discouraging voter turnout if he doesn't win and handing it to the Republicans who benefit with lower turnout. I don't mind being unhappy with Democrats as long as it is completely based in reality and isn't full of bullshit like "they're all the same," because that is obviously not true. Anyone making that claim is fucking over everyone the Republicans have in their crosshairs.

@@noneofyourbusiness4616 @None of Your Business Please look up "imperial privilege". The "vulnerable people" you are talking about are all within US borders. American lives are not more important than the thousands of Iraqi, Libyan, Yemeni, Honduran & other lives destroyed by the imperial warmongering policies of Dem politicians like Clinton & Obama.

Well, I'm not Matt or Katie, Teresa, but I did see Tulsi Gabbard address your question at least to an extent just before watching this podcast. I've linked and time stamped when the question comes up for your convenience (Modi is addressed in Krystal's follow up question) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dRKsJy92t9A.html I think a longer discussion would be required to work through all of her reasoning, but it's a start.

Perhaps I can help illuminate while, of course, not speaking for Tulsi. Hindus are the indigenous peoples of "Bharat Bhumi" (the original name of India) with an ancient wonderful culture. They were invaded in the 700's AD by the Muslims and brutally subjugated for over 800 years. Search "Hindu holocaust". Then came the British. After 150 years of repressive rule, as a parting shot they partitioned India and another few million people died. Since 1947, Modi is the first PM that has cared for India over the West. If that is "nationalism" then I say let's give them a chance. Modi started programs to lift millions out of poverty. He's not a fascist and I don't even think he's right wing. He's tough on militant Islam, but he actually needs to be. Most people in the West can't imagine what it's like there. He is the PM of India. The US should be allied with India. We should be allied with Russia also, but somehow liberals have become rather insane and are completely messing up foreign affairs with bogus smears like Russia-gate. I think Tulsi Gabbard gets this and wants to promote good relations so we might have some peace on this planet. Or at least avoid total destruction.

@@paulhansen5053 The original inhabitants of the Indian sub-continent were adivasis. The ones who remained in jharkhand, chhattisgarh, even parts of Rajasthan and Gujarat and the Deccan plateau in Telangana. The ones who left are known today by a different name - The Romas. The concept of Bharat Bhumi happened approximately 2500years after mohenjodaro and harappa settlements, more so with the advent of Kautilya, who wanted to unify India under one ruler; which was quite after the Aryan races came from European continent via the karakoram mountain ranges. There is a reason why Hindu leaders - Subhash Chandra Bose and others went to Germany for ideological support against the Brits, to proclaim similarities between the Aryan Races. There is a reason why the Swastika is so clearly emblazoned in both Nazi and Hindu philosophies. The migration of Aryans or the Roma people had created the Eurasian lands as we know it today. It was clearly depicted during Alexander's campaign all the way to Punjab. Most of Upper Caste Hindus in India today are not the original settlers. They were migrants. Hinduism in itself has been a work in progress to develop pagan roots - by incorporating the adivasi way of living with Aryan worshipping of statues, as metallurgy was unknown in that part of the world until 1200BC. Since you showed your love for the original settlers of the Indian sub-continent, you would be happy to know - The adivasis of India today are subjugated as SC, ST, OBC and Naxals. Their territories are being ripped apart, with overall control over ancient habitats, forests, water reservoirs etc. unfortunately, the NGOs that could have given historic records of atrocities in that region have been declared unlawful by the Indian Supreme Court. Human Rights abuses are fairly frequent. However, coming to present day worldview, The idea of Hindu Rashtra, is unfair in a country of 1.3 billion people who were striving for secularism as part of their constitution for 70yrs, and has close to 300million minorities, not just Muslims, but Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Christians and Jews. Taking a snapshot of Indian history to prove a point is dangerous, simply because it has been a long time in the making. It does not do the country any favours being continuously embroiled in internal strife and conflict. When income and wealth inequality, pollution, unemployment, health standards etc. are all major concerns, riots on the basis of religion is acting like a distraction from the issues that determine the standard of living for an entire nation. Guess what, Modi, RSS, BJP know this but are acting against the best interests of the country they claim to love.

@@PapaGolfRomeo The adi-vasis of India are referred to as such because they are more tribal/primitive, not that they are the only indigenous peoples. You mentioned the Aryan invasion theory, but that theory was invented by Europeans with very flimsy evidence, in order to bolster their colonization of India. There's much more evidence that the Vedic/Aryan culture of the Indus-Sarasvati is completely indigenous and goes back to the end of the last ice age, about 7500 BCE. It's a fallacy to assume that indigenous cultures must be primitive.

@@PapaGolfRomeo Also, I don't know why you're talking about the crazy Nazis or what that has to do with anything. The Indian swastika is an ancient good luck symbol and the Nazis perverted it. Bose went to Germany not to proclaim anything but rather to get help from Britain's enemy to help fight England in the struggle for independence.

Jonida Sanço I had the same thought
