#BernieSanders #Biden #politics
Full Sanders: ‘How Could Anyone Think That What’s Going On Right Now Is Good’
Bernie should endorse a Senate primary challenger to Manchin in West Virginia and to Sinema in Arizona. I’m sure there is a strong voice from labor in both of those states. Put real Democrats in power in those states (Demos people, Kratos power) and watch how things move in favor of the people.
The ONLY politician I trust 100%
The Democrats f***ed Bernie twice
Audit shows that almost half of Biden followers on Twitter are bots
That interviewer is a lacky
It is the ancient calendar conscious tribal Barbarian systems of greed and wars that has been set up on our planet by ancient dead men. There’s no human being on this planet should have to buy a piece of land. He has just as much right to this land and resources as any other human. If there were NO NATIONS and NO FALSE RELIGIONS there would be NO WARS !!! The all seeing eye generation. 👁
If we ALL were much knowledgeable about Bernie he could have become the President of the United States. In my Opinion and if God says the same Bernie should run for President again because I Don’t think Biden is going to be able to pull off another Win!!!
Sanders is the answer to saving this country from Fascists. There are millions of dumb, semi-literate citizens who would follow Sanders and leave Trump if we could simply get the message to them. Then we could count on electing real populist Senators and actually get something done for the American people, toss out the lying, paid, Right Wing radio commentators who are screwing the very people, the great unwashed ignorati of Americans, who now vote against themselves and their own best interests and those of their children every election.
Not sure about you but, it appears we voted against our best interest a year and a half ago. Every policy this president has had is a disaster. Sanders is worse.
I love Bernie. He’s a good person.
Minimum wage: $7.25 per hour
Gas: $4.99 per gallon
I do not support the radical Democrats, but it’s time for universal healthcare, lower drug prices, lower wages in at the highest of levels of healthcare, etc. Wages have gotten out of control. 15 years ago doctors and researchers barely made 200 thousand dollars. Now just about every doctor makes over and upward to a million dollars a year. It’s absurd. Everything has to start coming down.. Even housing costs. It’s out of control.
Just about every doctor makes over a million a year? You might be mistaking their income for their student loan debt.
Thumbs up for Bernie. To chuck todd: you and the other corpratists time is over! Adapt or get out of the way. The amarican people are done playing your games!!
I agree with Bernie.
Other countries provide the resources needed to care for children.
•Russia offers 3 years paid maturnity leave to promote more births.
•Sweden provides 16 months of paid maturnity leave and $14,000 a year for toddler care.
•In Canada a pregnant employee is entitled to up to 62 consecutive weeks of parental leave. Parental leave starts after maternity leave. This means a pregnant employee can take a leave of up to 78 weeks (1.5 years) – 16 weeks of maternity leave and 62 weeks of parental leave.
~~~~~
The U.S. could reduce the number of abortions by providing more resources. One of the reasons women, and families, decide to have an abortion is financial survival. Over half of the U.S. is living on less than $30,000 a year. They can’t afford to raise more children.
If the republicans were really interested in reducing abortions, they need to support providing resources.
The U.S. needs paid maturnity leave, affordable health care, affordable child care, affordable housing, and better paying jobs.
~~~~
The republicans seem to be more interested in law, judgment and punishment.
~~~~~~
Abortion needs to remain legal. There are numerous reasons why abortion is needed to save women’s lives. Hundreds of women die in the U.S. every year due to complications of pregnancy and childbirth. That number is bound to significantly increase if abortion is illegal. One example is a tubal pregnancy, there are around 200,000 tubal pregnancies in the U.S. every year, the fetus can not survive, the mother will also die when the pregnancy bursts out and the mother bleeds to death internally.
~~~~~~
Where it’s difficult in the U.S. compared to the Scandinavian countries is it’s harder to get a larger more diverse population to agree on anything.
~~~~~~
Another issue is many corporations have become global companies. We don’t have as much leverage, if they get too dissatisfied they can leave. We need better education to ensure we have a workforce that can attract global companies.
@Karla McCullough Nordic model? That failed decades ago, that’s why they’re no longer socialist (maybe Bernie’s home state will figure that out and come out of bankruptcy).
@Karla McCullough sounds like you want the “big brother” govt that dictates all to all. (How’s that worked out?)
Government rules best when it rules the least
@Karla McCullough it’s not the governments job to manage ever aspect of everyone’s life to provide its version of fairness to all.
I think there needs to be a balance. There was a better balance after WW2 through the 1970s.
If you look at history, the economy significantly improved during and after WW2. During WW2 productivity and employment was at an all time high. There were also federally funded programs that benefited the veterans including opportunities for education, government jobs, and WW2 veterans were given VA housing loans. The government housing loans fueled the development of housing and further improved our economy. The cold war kept us from returning to the depression of the 1930s. The cold war created good paying jobs.
In the 1970s government regulations protected our companies and workforce from foreign competition. In the 1980s the regulations were eroded and eventually companies were enabled to outsource manufacturing to foreign countries like China to take advantage of cheap labor. The justification was cheap merchandise for U.S. consumers. It also resulted in the following:
1. A more capitalistic economy based on bigger profits for the companies/corporations.
The republicans used to talk about trickle down, i.e. the profits from reduced taxes would create more jobs and enable paying higher wages. That was a lie, jobs were created in China instead of the U.S..
2. 50% of the manufacturing jobs left the country.
3. The companies that had been categorized as essential to U.S. defense were no longer protected. Many had depended on government contracts, many went out of business.
4. The U.S. became dependant on foreign products including products needed for U.S. department of defense programs. Have you heard of rare earth metals? See:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/02/22/fact-sheet-securing-a-made-in-america-supply-chain-for-critical-minerals/
5. Social security was created along with Medicare and Medicaid. Unfortunately not sustainable as currently managed.
6. The U.S. is dependent on products from foreign countries.
7. The U.S. is also in competition with foreign countries like China to attract global companies.
8. The U.S. consumers are addicted to low cost merchandise from China. We created a false economy that benefits the wealthy and large corporations but it’s not sustainable.
Bernie still has it. Run, Bernie, run !!!
When the economy shut down because of covid the government discovered the over 60 percent of the economy was small business. Want the country to do better? Lower the tax rate on small business. Don’t think your going to tax a few billionaires and everything will be fine.
Finally someone who gets it!
Dems in charge of all three branches and Bernie says we’re going in the wrong direction. Let’s get Trump back.
We just got to spend more money! Eventually it’ll get better!🤑
Everything Bernie listed and said to “the Woodchuck” here was right on target. What “The Bern” left out here is that he since about six years ALSO embraces all the latest left wing radical fringe positions that AREN’T broadly popular. The Reps are 50% off track also in their cold-greedy habit of ONLY servicing corporate Am instead of walking in Franklin, Teddy&Ike’s boots. Both “duopolian” parties are unpopular, but honestly DGAS about it. It’s a really enormously disappointing head scratcher. 🐿?!!!
“75% of the country believes we’re going in the wrong direction. Let’s go there even faster!”
Do the right thing..
Do what Bernie wants.. that is the right thing……….
….and if. U. Don’t do the right thing…
…. What Bernie wants
…. you’re a NATAZI
Racist white supremacists
If you don’t do what Bernie wants… he isssssssss. Right.
OUTofHiSmind 💩4️⃣🧠’s 🕳️
Yes! You got it! Just haven’t spent enough money yet to fix the problems
You tell them, BERNIE! This man, right here-Bernie Sanders-is the most honest man in Washington. Probably the most honest politician in the country
American people like you Bernie I vote for you
Take on big pharma LOL. The democrats forced everyone to take their vaccines or be fired. Giving Big Pharma record profits.
It’s not women’s bodies Bernie, they are GODS bodies. Bernie still hasn’t got the message. 28% of Dems say we are going in the wrong direction. Yet Bernie cites NOTHING evidencing “what Americans want.” Not a single poll or stat to support that statement.
What else is in the bill that has nothing to do with what he just said
Our government is set up to get nothing done but fund war
Bernie sanders 2024
Bernie socialism will not work in this country get over it. Go to Russia
Sanders is such a blowhard. All talk no action. He has betrayed his followers; he will never leave the corporate fold.
Love Bernie but chuck needs to go. Trevor said it best, he sucks at his job and my left foot can do better
If we could get dark money out of politics that would be a good start for America’s workers and poor.
Over 1500 lobbyists for big pharmaceutical company’s is just wrong. This is why costs remain high. Who benefits? Beneficiaries of the dark money.
Your representative?
I don’t agree with all of Sanders, but he is at least of sound mind, plus I think how they treated him in the primaries was horrible, and it was only to put a puppet that Soros’s gang can rule –
Of course Bernie thinks we are going in the right direction, he’s a communist! It’s interesting how he demonizes the billionaires and not the millionaire politicians like himself! Hypocrite!
I think he said we weren’t going in the right direction. The government needs to spend more then it’ll all get better. (That’s what I heard anyway)
@Sam Iam I think you are right! Nonetheless, I like how he forgets to mention how he’s become a millionaire working as a government employee his entire life. But let us focus on the billionaires. The Democrat policies are failing, and everyone is paying the price and will be until they die. We cannot print or spend our way out of this mess. It’s really terrible, that they put these policies in place, their donors get rich and the average American pays for it. Disgusting.
@T T according to the polls, most voters aren’t fools, looks like we’re gonna be in good company this fall!
Why would it be so hard to make employers pay the employees healthcare like big companies used to do?🔥
Duh! Do you REALLY think a guy with a small landscape business can afford that? Think!
Has Chuck been in broadcasting for so long that he’s become terribly jaded?
Sabotage is the correct word. Support downline candidates to neutralize dinos.
Love Bernie! He is for the poor people. True blue
So Bernie, we’re letting MILLIONS of illegal immigrants in every year now… Are we going to supply healthcare, housing, and jobs for THE ENTIRE WORLD?
Lofty dreams old fella, but none of us will live to see ANY of these ideas. We will implode with all the south American countries coming here…lol
They put Bernie in place so that we always have hope…but never any substance. It’s time we get past what we need as a People and demand it. No more stools to tell us what we know. Do your job or get out. History is riddled with examples of uprisings of the poor over the rich. We are not living in the days of Spartacus but the days of gorilla warfare. Hopefully these people in power will start to listen to The People. But they won’t. And so we will be strung out for years to come and become so poor (like now) that all we can do is complain. Power isn’t conceded. It’s taken. If the Power still rests in The People then the problem isn’t politicians…it’s US! (U.S.) !!!
If you don’t like where things are going with Biden you SURE aren’t gonna like Bernie. Yea, the power of the people comes this fall. Americans aren’t fools.
What about capping housing? Rent prices charge daily.
Manchin needs to go.
Talk to your boy Biden an lets get things passed..!!!
Thank GOD many Democrats just got elected in all states doing just what you championed for the PROGRESSIVE candidates..AND many progressives did too..
Many of his ideals have moved forward ..Do not give up hope !!! WEVE GOT THIS !!!
I love you Bernie. But it’s coming to be either a wet dream or some form of mental masturbation at this point. I’ve been following you for years. YOU SHOULDVE BEEN BEEN PRESIDENT! 😢
You have Republicans in disguised as Democrats
Where has sanders been hiding
Sanders is a communist and been so wrong so many times. His remedies don’t help us because he’s a SOCIALIST(PROGRESSIVE)
Sanders is a Marxist billionaire who does nothing for his people in Connecticut
We had an economy that worked for the middle class and the poor but the democrats stole the election from the best president ever in America .
Where are your mittens
That’s not true sanders you don’t stand up for anyone go back to you 3 mansions and play
Dump the democrats now
UNIONS LOT MORE UNIONS WE NEED A BALANCE OF POWER
We have been paying a lot for years for drugs and most of the democrats did absolutely nothing for the people who needed help
I say cut pay for senators and congress people they waste space and make way to much money and get perks for everyday life and give it to Medicare and pay for sr ours drugs
DC Statehood!!
Making a $10,000 per year extra yearly tax on 2nd and 3rd homes that are left unrented would be a start. And $100k per year each for the 4th-10th homes. Maybe that will free up some of the millions of empty homes for people who actually need one to live in. 10% of homes are VACANT so there is not actually a shortage. Just needs some policy changes. And renting the house out for 2 weekends per year as a BNB shouldn’t be able to avoid the added tax penalty. Rented out at least 6 months can be a good cutoff. We seriously know people who have 10 vacation homes they visit maybe 1 week a year at most each. That is really not helping the housing shortage for poor families. I get that the rich people are in different areas, but still at least the resources used to build those big fancy homes (materials and labor) would be freed up to build more affordable housing for the lower classes. The stepped up tax basis for stocks and real estate passing to the next generation untaxed should be eliminated too. Tax it!
Bernie is right.
Thank the Federal Reserve and government. It took two decades to get here. COVID response was the death nail.
BERNIE 2024
the democrats pushed for all this including Sanders. this is why we must fire ALL democrats…
the democrats scared the country with covid and shut down our economy and then they started handing out money and no one wants to go back to work but wait on money and teachers got paid for not teaching.. BS Sanders.
Democrats fight for welfare…
Abortion.. why would ANYONE be for aborting at 9 months???????????????????????????
Mr. Sander’s you forgot to mention. Black rock buying all the Real Estate. You didn’t mention baby formula being stored at the boarder? Don’t just blame the Rich. You in Washington can stop that. And not giving money relief to people who need it. Is Shameful. Raise minimum wage at the federal level. That was a promise. Biden said . It hasn’t happen yet.
Joe biden wall st first and second best is 😴😴😴😴😴😴
Medicare needs dental, vision, etc. Can’t you get this done without Republicans support? If so do it. Don’t you just need 50 Votes to pass? I see that on t.v.
People’s greed are costing people’s lives and endangering the needs of the majority of people’s needs.
Why would taxing corporations help inflation? Moronic.
Chuck Todd been trying to get gotcha questions this whole interview. Can you think of a better word than sabotage
I tell you what. Both parties have played us like pingpong balls, PERIOD!
This is the perfect time too FIRE GOVERNMENT!
You had COVID, now the cancel culture.
If these POSERS write there own paychecks and no longer have revenue too cover it by no longer working class citizens,, FRAUD and U.S. treasury Forgery charges come too mind along with buckets of tar and feathers!
#OperationWeekendAtBernies49 #VPAOC #DUTY
I pray he has 1 more run in him for president 🙏! This country needs his leadership right now. We’re in a terrible place
This coming from a former presidential candidate with a reputation for throwing his own campaigns under the bus even when he was still doing well.
BERNIE!!!!
Bernie is never wrong. Chuck Todd is rarely right. What could go wrong with Todd running the show.
Inept corporate Democrats now pay for what they voted for when we could have gone back to Bernie’s ideas aka FDRs ideas that we know work.
Sen. Bernie Sanders is, and has been for a long time, THE BEST LEADER FOR AMERICA🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸
Hasn’t aged a day
I think he’s going to run
Bernie is honest and Trump must be put in jail
Tell Bernie to relax, everything, at least on the Left, is going full Nazi. When it does, he will fit right in.
This guy is the champ of other politicians and should be the voice of choice. Full Stop!
What happened to the repugnant pointy flacid/limp finger? He doesn’t pound the air at people as much. Does anyone actually believe this looks like the original Bernie?
Typical Democrat always worried about other people’s money
Beenie is a dream politician, no dirt on him.
Democrat policy is destroying poor and middle class people.
If you don’t miss Trump yet you will.
After the price of everything goes from DOUBLE WHAT IT WAS UNDER TRUMP TO 3X’s as much maybe people will stop listening to people that have good INTENTIONS but NO BUSINESS EXPERIENCE on how to do things.
*BERNIE**#2024*
Bernie Sanders should have been voted in as President. He has the guts to push for what he wants.
COMRADE SANDERS IS A CLOWN FACTORY COMMUNIST FOR VLADIMIR PUTIN…
I used to like Sanders and still do to some extent but he has been a spoiler, unintentionally, and still doesn’t seem to understand that you have to get elected first. …and don’t trash Manchin so much because take a look at the candidates that have won there and be grateful Manchin is there because, otherwise, there would be no gavel for Pelosi. Also, a big reason for bad polls is not just inflation, which ordinary people realize is caused by uncontrollable factors, but is the infighting and the progressive caucus is the main reason for that… intransigent to the end. So, he may mean well but he is not learning to pull together and live to fight another day.
These people just don’t get it. It is the inflation stupid!
SEBATOR SANDERS ALWAYS SPEAKING TRUTH
#SAVESOIL @CONSCIOUSPLANET For Our Childrens Generations Abudance in Healthy Food, Fresh AIR, FreshWater Storage>
It would take 8 Oranges Today to get the same Value as One 1920s Orange< THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE DONE TO OUR SOIL!!
This man should be our president
I love Bernie Sanders I just wish someone would tell him I believe what really hurt him and his presidential run was and I could be wrong but I really believe the one thing might be when he really wanted Medicare and Medicaid for all the people just didn’t want that if he runs again maybe someone should tell him do not bring that up at all he might could be our next president
I love people all people but when you look at immigration the United States of America bring a lot of immigrants over in the United States that have filled out applications and is waiting in line for those to go through so I don’t believe it’s fair to let someone come in the states illegally in front of them I don’t believe it’s right so I think it’s hurting the politicians that forget about the people that trying to come over illegally think about that
Listen to Mr. Sanders.
Speak the truth Mr. Sanders.
How about better schools and education in the community of brown people. Why can’t we work together?
He is so out of touch. We don’t need anymore big government spendatures. It leads to massive inflation which we are combating now. Does nothing to bring down the cost of gas, groceries, etc.
I understand that pharma has to pass FDA & recoup their investment on developing, but we have meds out there that have been out for decades and they’re still crazy expensive. It doesn’t make sense. Upping minimal wage sounds good, but doesn’t that add to inflation? Instead of tackling the top?
It’s called corruption. Politicians are peddling there political services to the highest bidder lock, stock, and barrel. The whole of Congress and the judicial system is owned and controlled by power brokers at the expense of 99% of working class people. They used media like Fox News to brainwash uninformed people to support their agenda.
Bernie is a socialist & so is Biden. Helping those Ukraine racist people shameful. Giving formula to immigrants first is shameful.
