SoulRippster Agreed! Bernie is special and a true gift to the American people. His voice is resonating with citizens in both the major parties and of course, Independents. We haven't had this opportunity in my lifetime and I'm 62. We've had some good presidents, but Bernie IS here to help us take back our country from the elite; who currently own it. If we don't act now, we can kiss it goodbye.
Brian Jones Yes, Bernie really excites me. Most politicians we see are all rhetoric and no honesty or action. I think he could really inspire change. By the way its "a lot" not "a lot"
Same here. He's the only politician I've ever seen stand up for the common people. I only just found out about him 2 days ago but after doing some research I've found my candidate.
Angela Chan Not "alot" I know it is hard to do it because the computer program will auto correct If you miss write it . Have to go back and make it ONE word after the computer corrected you . I have no Idea how Brian made an impossible mistake maybe the way the computer is set up .
@@bpg5591. Very weak comment, try to understand the difference between a corporation and a person. Corporations by the R-party are considered an entity themselves but are not a humans, humans are backed by the D-Party. 7 years too late as well for a comment.
I just want to remind people on the left hand side of the aisle how much of a lying and deceptive Fraud Bernie Sanders is: 1) He constantly misrepresents certain demographics in our country not paying "their fair share" EVEN THOUGH the wealthy remain Uncle Sam's biggest breadwinner and coffers filler. He targets a few billionaires who have certain tax exemptions/legal advantages (in the way they have LEGALLY SET UP THEIR BUSINESSES) and makes these blanket statements that corporations/the affluent aren't paying their fair share. 2) In his past, he has attacked and placed more blame than what is justifiable on George W. Bush for causing the 2008-2009 financial crisis. Does he share some blame? Absolutely.. it happened on his watch. Does he deserve all blame? Absolutely NOT -The Glass Steagall Act of 1933 was repealed under the Clinton Administration. That law that Bill Clinton signed for approval of its repeal could have prevented the devastating effects on mainstream working class America. -What employees did at Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Moody's, AIG also fed the severity of the housing bubble and economic collapse. 3) He has registered, claims to be, and continues to win re-election as an "Independent". Take a look at his voting record. He is not an Independent. Independents are the best of both parties and usually split their votes aligning with more than one set of beliefs. His voting record regularly (well over 80%) aligns with the Democratic party. Quick Newsflash for the EXTREMELY misinformed/divisive/ignorant Senator from Vermont: 72% of the Voting Demographic within the state of West Virginia wanted Joe Manchin to vote "No" on build back better (on the social spending and climate package). Joe Manchin will go down as one of the most effective Bipartisan members of Congress/Executive Branch in our country's history. He is up there with other members of Congress like John McCain, Bob Dole, John Boehner, Everett Dirksen, Lyndon Baines Johnson, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Thaddeus Stevens, and Tip O'Neill. Instead of blaming Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema Bernie... maybe you should work with both of them to roll back the trump corporate tax cuts of 2017 to reduce deficit spending? That is something Joe has said he will vote for. The fact that he has the audacity to blame two moderates within his own party is hilarious. Joe Biden and the Democratic party CURRENTLY have a majority in both houses. There is no reason compromise and meaningful/incremental laws can't be passed. He wonders why he lost the Democratic nomination in both 2016 and 2020. Instead of looking to blame others... maybe you should look inside yourself and ask some questions: 1) Is the price tag for this package too much? Is it too radical and bold? 2) Will it keep working people (employed and underemployed) independent of or dependent on government welfare? 3) Is it TRULY A FAIR COMPROMISE? @Steven Bardo
I never had much trust in any politician especially after the last 16 years but... He gives me hope ,something there doesn't seem to be much of these days. When I found out he was running I immediately checked my voting status and looked in to how I can help. If he can inspire me a self proclaimed slacker , then hell maybe we have a shot at this. If you feel something anything at all , spread the word , donate , post videos to your Facebook wall....even your friends fb pages.
He lost, and hillary was made the DNC nomination Hillary inevitably lost to Trump, people voted for trump out of , hatred, despair, and fear. We are fucked.
Joe Corbett It's not that they ignore him, they probably don't even know he exists. Why would the corporate media want ideas and rationality like this to spread? It hurts their bottom line. That's why it's up to us, the grassroots movement, to spread the word any way we can until we're loud enough that Bernie can't be ignored. As soon as he hits a televised debate or gets national media attention, he'll take off stronger than Obama did. This man represents the beginning of the end for the Plutocrats' reign. Bernie Sanders transcends the Mainstream Media and goes right for the real issues facing this country (and the world), which is exactly why he will be a contender in the 2016 election. You in? It's as simple as telling others and telling them to spread the love as well.
Brian Anderson Contender? He's gonna win.... I have yet to see a candidate I could get excited to vote for.... Bernie gets me excited, and I know I am not alone.... This is TRULY a groundswell movement in America... He is gonna win.
Timothy Mason American are so brainwashed by the "programming" they receive it will be an uphill battle for an rational thinking normal person to make a stand.
I've seen a couple of old debates with Bernie and some Republican or another... and it is clear how much respect they have for Bernie, even if they disagree with him, he is a man that sticks to his convictions not matter what the others say or think.
This is an awesome speech! As an example of the changes in life for a working person over the past 50 years, here is a story about my life's changes over that time span: In 1963 my young husband and I, on one income of around $3.75 per hour were able to save enough to have a down payment on an older house on 5 acres and pay in advance for the cost of doctor & hospital for the birth of our 1st child. We worked hard, didn't buy new furniture and expensive clothes, but we got a start on having the American Dream of home ownership. Later, In the early 1980s, on my own I was able to buy a small home on a large lot and keep it up myself. Since the 1990s I have not been able to afford to purchase any kind of home. My wages declined and I was barely able to get a job at age 60 a few years back. Even then, because the organization was grandfathered into not paying social security, I lost 4 years of service and my SS payment was reduced as punishment for working there. I needed a job and didn't have other choices so, not fully understanding the future impact took this job. I worked hard all my life. My children all have been responsible adults with good educations. My daughter is a teacher - the currently scapegoat for everything wrong with children. My sons each each do exception work in their jobs. I have given back to those less fortunate in the small ways I can. I have not broken laws, nor cheated on my taxes. I've never had a driving ticket of any kind. I love my family and we help each other out when there is a need. So, for this hard working life, as an older person now, Republicans and a few others want to take away what income I do have so that the ultra wealthy can have more. My mother just died a few days ago. I know her medical bills in the past two months would be more than she had in assets and without the good insurance she had as a retirement benefit several years back along with Medicare she would have been bankrupt or maybe not able to get care at all. Would those ultra wealthy people ever have become wealthy without the work done by people like me, like construction workers and line workers in factories, and service workers - always underpaid - and clerks in stores? So do they ever consider the people who supported them in gaining this huge wealth? Some of these people actually attend churches - do they listen to what the church is about? Love your neighbor? The Golden Rule? How can they live with themselves? They must be mentally ill to be able to push forward their agenda of taking it all away from people who helped them on their way up. Wouldn't that be considered a crime if it were a regular, out of work and desperate person taking things we have because that person was cold and hungry? Only that lower class person who is robbing to survive may not have any other way to survive. The wealthy have so much more than they need to survive in luxury that they don't need to do this unless they are mentally ill. This time in our country's history is a very sad time - the wealthy are waging war against the very people who made their wealthy possible - at least in the beginning. Why did we let this happen? Or what can we do now to bring things into some level of balance so that we all have a chance to live a reasonable life?
I'm am truly at a loss for words to describe just how accurate Bernard sanders is on every aspect. WELL DONE B.SANDERS WELL DONE!!! ........WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!! WAKE UPPPPPOPPOOOPPPP!!!!!!!
jon ward Campaign for him. Start right now. If you love your family, share this video with them. Get them on the bandwagon, have debates. *GET INVOLVED* *VOTE* *Encourage everyone else you know to vote and do the above as well*
God bless you! Thank you for standing up and having the courage to speak about the real issues facing our nation. Gives me some hope about our future as a nation.
Please run for President Bernie. Those nay sayers who say you won't win are the same people who will jump on the bandwagon the moment you beat Hillary like a red headed step child.
hackersgalley Tell everyone you know. Tell your family, friends, RU-vid followers. Just get the message out -- because you and I both know that the corporate media will try to play this man off as a gadfly. This man is the real deal!
It's official, for those watching ~ Bernie is running!! His announcement was made public on Vermont Public Radio and confirmed by the Huffington Post. The campaign will be launched Thursday, April 30th.
Bernie speaks to the anger that most Americans are feeling and has a platform to address it. He's the only candidate currently with such a platform and a history of working for that platform. As far as I'm concerned, there aren't any other candidates running in this race and that's the way we all need to act who support him. Hillary who? Bernie Sanders, 2016!!!
I agree, Bernie is a voice for the majority of us... he has come from humble roots and knows what it's like... He's got my vote. Too many Clintons and Bush's forgetaboutit...The greed in this country in like an Amtrak Train Reck...
I have been registered as an independent voter for 30 years... I am seriously thinking about changing my status solely to be able to vote for this man in the primaries. . We need many more voices like this in Washington !
Bernie Sanders, you are fucking AWESOME. We need people like you. We need people to be inspired by people like you. You are what is going to make america great again!!
Tell that to the idiots that are voting for the corrupt Hillary! Why people would want someone with such dirty and bloody hands in the Whitehouse (again) is beyond me! I sure as hell don't want her running this country. Even if she were the LAST woman on earth I would NOT vote for her!! Right from the start of the running for POTUS the voting has been rigged, geared toward Hillary! From the DNC to Bill Clinton, to the Media's bias to so much more! America, the Land Of The Free", this country has been going down hill as well as a laughing stock for 8 years an now if she becomes the POTUS plan on America being called "The Land Of The PATHETIC!!"
Bernie always looks like he's going to jump over the podium and punch someone in the face. I'm so glad to finally see a politician with some passion. Sanders 2016!!!
Fast forward to 2022 And Absolutely Nothing has changed or been done about the massive corruption in the financial world !! The crime and corruption continues to destroy everything.
If you support Bernie for president 2016 be sure to sign up for and donate to his campaign: berniesanders.com Without corporate funding and support from super pacts and private investments, financing his campaign is one of his greatest initial challenges. I donate only $10 a month, but every little bit helps! :)
1776 declaration of independence Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it and institute a new government lying it's foundation on such principles and organising it power's in such form as to them will seem most likely to effect there safety and happiness.
Thank you so much Mr. Sanders for voicing the truth so very eloquently. You are a true patriot and you've earned my highest respect. I wish everyone in Washington would get behind you and solve issues instead of playing ideological politics. If you ever run for the presidency, I'll volunteer my time and energy to campaign for you. It would be a privilege to serve on behalf of such an honorable man as you. God bless you sir!
