I still cant believe they threw him under the bus for Biden
dems aren't that left wing tho....also warren apparently like to backstab him sooo 🤷
Are you a foreigner like me that is still shaking my head...
I can, Biden was the “safe choice” with Obama’s name, but it likely won’t cut it, to another 5 years!
Ask the voters that didnt show up or just didnt vote for sanders lmao
But Its always someone elses fault right ?
@@w333silke this.
Sanders never even fought back or defended himself.
He always put his head down and backed off in debates.
If he can't be competitive and driven when running for his own parties nomination, what makes people think he could beat Trump?
He didn't defend himself against hillary and instead campaigned for her and now he did it again.
He's a coward when it matters the most.
I also find it interesting how Sanders starts with the context, I guess he knows that if he starts with the answer ("Yes, but") people are only going to listen to the first bit and then tune out the nuance. Embedding the answer in the context encourages people to see the nuance (and makes it harder to cut it in a way that misrepresents him).
Yea, the way he admits to having to pay more taxes is even said in a way that makes it sound like you'd be cutting him out of context if you only quoted that bit. It sounds like the middle of a thought.
EXACTLY, I hate when people ask bullshit questions that ignore context. Putting the context in before you give people an answer is a brilliant way to inoculate against a negative reaction.
Honestly why it was so easy to call the media out on their bs with their recent accusations of him supporting and admiring authoritarian leaders. It was so easy to throw the full context of the comments in question back at anyone making those claims. Dude's walking a tightrope over an active volcano and he's doing well so far.
this demonstrates why 20th century gameshow style 'debates' are a shitty way to do elections.
@@Toddawaddles Yeah, like his false claims about Castro and his 'literacy' program. We all these were re--education camps. The literacy rate was only a little low in rural area. Hahahahaha
i wish bernie was younger so he still had a few more tries :(
We don’t talk like that, Julianna. He is immortal, thank you. 😭
@Jaskaran Singh They may stand for similiar views, but Bernie Sanders would have been way more efficient at coming up with an effective plan for everything. He is quick witted, extremely intelligent, and has been doing this for a very long time, so he has lots of experience in this.
@Jaskaran Singh AOC is not comparable to Bernie, she is sus as hell
@@rokmun680 Sadly she seems to be anti-semitic, but other than that she has good values and she seems like an actual human being which is good :) She can also relate better to younger generations and lower class people so that's also good.
@@viney3497 I mean, I saw that tweet she made about making a list of Trump supporters? That sounds like some gestapo level shit, seems evil.
when Bernie dropped out, I've heard my heart cracking😭💔
this video is only 3 months old too... felt like a lifetime ago when Bernie seemed poised to take the nomination
@@Agos226 yeah
you can still vote for him
@@internetfairy888 I know but he probably won't be elected
Riccardo Marsala you just give him bigger chances of winning next year.
i wonder if they're consciously aware of the mechanisms of speaking that they use, or if they've just evolved organically throughout their careers ??
claire b i would guess a bit of that but I think people with a lot of political experience, like Bernie, do have training in how to make speeches convincing etc. I’m sure they don’t plan every sentence (would be impossible bc you can’t know what others would say in a debate beforehand) but they probably have “guidelines” in mind as to how they want to come across
Both.
I’d suspect it’s second nature by now. After all, the things he’s focusing on are the details of the policies he’s proposing and the impact they will have on people. He can probably intuitively feel the proper phrasing and anticipate how to craft his structure before the final phrase, having some idea of how he’s going to land it.
All those guys have focus groups to analyse speech, with a bunch of really random people discussing speeches. But, to get where they are, they mostly grew organically.
I think it is a little bit of both. Bernie has had to make his massage simple enough for everyday people for decades, so that's conscient. On the other hand he has developed the need to disarm the loaded questions he always receives, I think he goes on automatic every time he is asked a question now.
I mean, free healthcare sounds nice and everything, but 4 years of Larry David playing the president on SNL is where it's at.
The Algerian love it lmao
He's actually not that great of an impression, other than being an old Jewish New Yorker. James Adomian does the best Bernie.
It's not "free" if someone has to pay for it. Under Trump, my income tax was decreased by 2%, which doesn't sound like a lot, but over a year it pays for over one month of rent. Bernie wants to increase income tax by 4% for anyone making $30,000 or more.
The Algerian free? Joking right?
Not Tired of Winning BUT what about rent control? The cap on taxes for the first 29k? No health bills ever again? Etc
Bernie Sanders. The greatest President that the United States never had. As a non-American, I'm sorry you missed out on what could have been. Nearly everything he was proposing are things that are taken for granted in many other developed countries.
Actually what he proposes is half of what most European countries have.
he’s not perfect but he’s much better than biden
hahahahahahahahahahaha
Same!
He's kinda like Al Gore in matter of being not elected
He is an honest politician.
Which is also why he wouldn't ever be in real power.
Because many people wouldn't want to see that happen.
Honest politician is an oxymoron, despite my mostly agreement with bernies views, he's not an intelectually honest president, he dosent even understand what socialism is, and he advocates for it
@@milesandrews6711 Exactly he talks all about these great tax programs which in the long run will not benefit the poor but the top 1% he claims to oppose, because the rich will always find a way to work within the system as long as the private sector exists like in Scandinavia
But there are many more of us who DO want him as our president. That's the saddest part.
It’s worth noting, that’s about the 500th time he’s answered that exact question. Several times a day. He’s really honed it to be effective, even more so since then.
yet people still think that folks making 29k a year are getting a 52% tax increase... smh
G Soap The reason he doesn’t answer it is because it’s nonsensical. The question implies federal finance is like our household finance but most people in America don’t know the mere ~ on you tube for 6.5 minutes ~ “The Basics of Modern Money” he has to come up some explanation that will pacify the mass of ignorant people. And you are part of the reason for this peddling your taxes are theft nonsense. Here’s the answer to the question I convince my representative and senator to sign off on the bill proposed and the president agrees and signs. That’s how America pays for things. Not one penny our our federal tax dollars pay for nothing at all. That last sentence is why he can’t tell the truth outright. Cause of the ignorance of the masses
probably more than 500 haha
I put in a lot of effort to develop an informed opinion. While I admit that I dislike Trump, I am not committed to either party or any candidate, so what I want is the actual truth and a realistic understanding of why the perception of certain aspects of politics are the way they are. When I hear something "shocking" like what G Soap is trying to say, I always do at least a tiny bit of research to see what the reality is. As Johnny Garza explains, it doesn't really take too much intelligence to understand why "(Sanders) doesn't know how much it will cost." Yet, the article Soap linked reads like a misinformed Twitter post by someone that would never actually *listen* to anything the other "team" said (because this caricature of a person only thinks about whether or not their team is winning).
Please, if you're reading this, do yourself a favor and always read more than just one article saying what you want to hear. Don't end up like G Soap.
@@HeIifano
You can understand what Johnny Garza has written? It's just illiterate gibberish to me. Mind translating it to actual English for the rest of us?
How Bloomberg answers a question:
So how much money do I have to throw at you too get to support me?
@No Akomplice Why did you say "gentile" like that are you insinuating something? Jeff Bezos only spent 1.2% of his income on taxes your average small business owner has to pay 40% and hes the type of guy you don't want to burden with our problems? These mega rich people spend almost nothing on taxes. The income inequality we have here is the same level as in fucking afghanistan. If you didn't count the richest 0.1% of people in this country we are not even a wealthy country, rich people just live here because they can weasel out of paying their taxes. And where did Bernie say he wouldn't be taxed the same as everyone else? You think he's doing this to get healthcare for (Poor) Americans as like a greedy thing? that makes no fucking sense. It's not free, it's free for the poor. The money comes from the people who are not poor how do you not understand the concept of taxes?
@No Akomplice Some people have "too much" because they ripped us off. For example Amazon has always made great efforts to bust unions. That's years and years of stolen wealth from the half a million workers that couldn't negotiate a better salary. Increased taxes on the extremely wealthy is an attempt on correcting that.
Also nice anti semitism right there. Real subtle.
@No Akomplice "the very few who aren't are muted, pushed aside or run over."
Oh, you mean like how Bernie constantly gets berated or ignored by corporate media.
@No Akomplice lol guess you didn't watch the video. He did say people would pay more in taxes, just that they also will be paying zero for medical expenses
@@PowerLord83 lol I swear people haven't even listen to a word Bernie's ever said yet act like they can criticize him 😂😂😂
They picked Biden over Bernie. Ugh.
Who's "they"? Biden got more votes, I don't like him either, but the majority of voters picked him.
As they should. The US will NEVER be a socialist dictatorship.
@@MarchOnRome 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ they are right now on the path to dictatorship. Socialism is the exact opposite of that. Where on earth did you go to school? Did you even pass elementary school?
@Jaskaran Singh the US is already socialist, even if to a shockingly low degree. That is why they are so #backwards
@@lauraveapi3840 Lmfao, the irony is real. Name one time Socialism has worked as it was supposed to. Hell, look at Venezuela now, once the richest latin country and now they're in a crisis and had a GDP reduction of nearly 30% last year.

It's not HOW he answers a questions. He ANSWERS questions. That's it.
A rare politician indeed 😍
LOL no. The very first two minutes he spent on and on and on and on specifically NOT answering the question, and instead making sure to advertise the benefits to his policy instead of actually answering the question who will pay for it.
lmao everyone trying to bash trump and support bernie the globalist but then just completely gets caught up in their own illusion they bash others for
It's both. He lays a foundation for why his answer is going to be the right one, and THEN he answers. Both are important and I wish more politicians were as honest with their plans.
Imagine president sanders.
Imagine a just world.
Imagine a sensible America.

I’ve never understood the “Bernie yells” criticism. Raising your voice isn’t yelling. Mechanics yell. Bernie speaks loudly.
DUH 101: EVERYTHING THE SUPER-MAFIA, er, Establishment says, IS A LIE (and that's FRAUD, a felony, each time they do it). But this SHAM worked to knock out Howard Dean. They (the war criminal journalists) LIED to fake that he was a screaming lunatic ("the Scream" is what they all called it) and they FAKED THE VIDEO TOO: he was yelling b/c it was a room of thousands of screaming fans.... but by ONLY having his mic audio (which was directional and didn't pick up the ROOM audio) these Goebbelist nazi liars SCAMMED the public that Dean was just a lunatic!
SAME EXACT TRICK was used on me by the NYDaily News (more war criminals): I mocked and loudly heckled the head of the NYPD in public and it made the tv news etc... (my repeated heckle was brilliant: "when you protect DIRTY cops, you hurt GOOD cops!" and made the airwaves etc).... but the DNews CHEATED BADLY: they took a PHOTO of me YELLING outdoors in Manhattan traffic, to a large crowd as I heckled the NYPD thug.......and CROPPED the photo to remove the CONTEXT of why I was yelling (no microphone etc!)....so 100% of readers would just see a "LUNATIC".
EVERY DAY WE DON'T MURDER MURDERERS (the 1% and the MSM).... WE ARE MURDERERS (helping the 1% do fake wars, Big Pharma, etc)

Thank you for all the work you do to produce these stunning videos, in both visuals and explanations.
I'm frustrated by the comment section just completely ignoring his analysis, and video editing.
Nobody is mentioning anything negative about Bernie, but bringing up other BS that has nothing to do with Bernie, or his speaking style.
Stephen: *asks a question*

Nerdwriter: *after rigorous analysis of a sophisticated contextual answer*
'What a stupid question'.
Yes, but Colbert is only asking what Fox, MSNBC, etc. are planting in the brains of the electorate. And Steven is not only smart enough to know that, but wise enough to give Bernie the space to answer.
@@drewcampbell8555 Yes, Colbert is very good at pretending to be under the thumb of his network, while leaving space for the truth to be presented. He keeps himself out of trouble and that's fair.
Ya, when you understand the complexity of the issue, it is a super stupid question.
I mean, he is not wrong. Most questions against M4A and Bernie are super stupid.
@@Nellywellum Yet it is one that a lot are worried over. By asking it, and even framing it in terms of where the burden falls he allows Bernie to show his strongest side to those who do not know him or his ideology.
I bet you were excited in college when the professor assigned an essay.
Hahahahah this is exactly me. Nerdwriter seems like the kinda guy I'd vibe with considering our interests lmao
Who wasn't?
@@dacios6776 Essays are one of the reasons why I'm majoring in math.
You and me both.
Not necessarily. Essays assigned in college are suffocating because of the limitations you have to go through. He could've loved writing, but hated writing an essay. That's the category I fall into myself.
Here he has freedom to say whatever he wants, how ever much, whenever, and about anything. And to top it off he can say them all, which is not only appealing to do but listen to, way less rules. Tons of people do this. His screenname may be nerdwriter1, but he is no different than people who make videos analyzing tech products, video games, music, celebrities. The only difference here are the genres of his content.
Sanders had a rare gift: formidably detailed knowledge of policy combined with easy, colloquial language.
Therefore, he can inform his audience without sounding different from them.
From someone who produces and edits content for a living: Your video editing decisions here are brilliant. The content itself is insightful as well. Well done, my man. Subscribed!
Nerdwriter does his own editing, he's actually got a reputation among the UA-cam community for being one of the best at it. If you want to see the masterclass in Nerdwriter's editing skills, this video right here. ua-cam.com/video/tyjVu_IFKMc/v-deo.html
And yet, he ignores Bernie Sanders's faults. Spoiler alert: turns out his age is the least of those.
6:10 Sanders is asked THE question: "Is there an increase blah blah ...?" His first move, what I call a mutterance, (missed by Nerdwriter) is: "Good." He FIRST affirms Colbert thus displaying a complete lack of fear of the question. An audience reads your fear or courage. What you do FIRST is what matter most. If you flinch, you suck, if you lock eyes and grin, you win. Sanders AFFIRMS the question with "good," thus completely DISARMING Colbert. Everything else is filler as long as he does not stumble. Nerdwriter does well with the follow through, but it is the setup that opens the listener to accepting it.
Yes this stood out a lot for me as well!
Totally, that was so confident and conversational.

I wonder how much of Bernie's rhetorical style comes from the fact he's a New York Jew. Because he does very much does still have their accent.The vaguely yelling thing he's always doing? That's just how Jews speak when they're impassioned about something. He sounds very similar to my primary care doctor, another old New York Jew. The fact is that if you grow up Jewish, you naturally end up learning a certain amount of rhetoric. Arguing and questioning is kind of our thing. I've talked with my friends about how Bernie's Jewish-ness influences his politics (something I'll expand on if there's interest), but since I come from a west coast reform synagogue, I'm not really qualified to talk specifically about the New York Jew cultural aspect of it.
Two things you didn't mention that I've noticed myself, is that at first it looks like that Bernie is doing the typical "politician dance around the question thing", but he's doing it in an ethical way. He jumps away from the question and illustrates context, keeping so he doesn't create exploitable soundbites (such as "yes, but"), and does eventually come back to the question, saying 'the common people will save money and taxes will only increase on the wealthy'. Also the hands. I think they're as important to creating his rhythm as his word choice. He also uses them to visually demonstrate his point, swiping to one side whenever he says "gone" in your example. and miming "signing up" at the end.

@@mmk7454 Let's hope so. Also, despite what the modern political climate and Islamic extremists might lead one to believe, Muslims and Jews are more similar to eachother in theology and practice then they are to Christians. They practice similar ideas of justice, a love of knowledge, and duty to the poor. They also both actually follow the 'no graven images' and 'only one gd' thing. In the Middle Ages, it was better for a Jew to live in a Muslim kingdom than a Christian one.

Mariam M Hi fellow Bahraini! Good to see others from my country watching good UA-cam videos!
he's still a veteran politician who had to deal with bad framing his entire career so this should not come as much of a surprise.
He's been fighting the system for the past 50 years, all the way back to when he marched with MLK.
@Tut J'wandian it's ya boi, Lil Faschy back at it again.
@Tut J'wandian great job. you´ve played yourself.
Tut J'wandian And we don’t like people who are pro patriotism. Capitalism keeps 1 billion people hungry each year and kills 100 million every 5 years, yet you uphold it.

@Tut J'wandian I don't think anyone's taking that bait buddy
This may be lost in the sea of comments but your visual style *really* has come into it's own lately. This video especially. I watched it twice, once to hear what you had to say, and again to just absorb your emphasis through visuals. Really great stuff.
yeah he's fantastic
you have better words for what I was thinking
Sorry Bernie, you have to have a population with common sense for your plan to work
Well that’s not the problem, the population agreed with him. But the “political experts” convinced everyone that bided was the only one who could beat trump. Damn it.
@@denversupermarket7484 And Biden beating Trump is far from a garantuee. For crying out loud, the man has zero charisma in energising his base, and more importantly, swing states...
@@sep9960 Essentially what will happen is the progressives will have to bend the knee again to the rot of the DNC mainline and completely carry their key demographics for minor concessions of the foreign agenda they are forced to pick over trump. This is not a democracy. This is unacceptable.
Part of me wants to agree with you, but another sees that its just the same toxic rethoric that has been dividing your country for ages. YES the american people are FAR behind when it comes to political education and a greater sense of perspective, but calling them essentially dumb over it wont change a thing, except might make you feel better for a fleeting moment.
Instead of hurling abuse, look inward and ask yourself "why". Why is it like this? What can we do to change it? And why instead of trying to figure this out and act on it do you instead spend your energy on being angry and toxic. Im not trying to be mean or offensive - this is my genuine thoughts.
@@willnash7907 Through Bernie Sanders his energy and base Biden has already progressed more to the left/progressive side. So even though I do not think Biden is the best option for the US in the long run. He's still the most logical choice compared to Trump.
Man, Nerdwriter really never disappoints. I always get goosebumps after watching his video essays. Loved the Trump one, and absolutely loved this one, too. Keep up the brilliant work!
7:58 On point here. Makes you wonder. The short answer seems negative but when reinforced with context then the question seems stupid.
Why is that a stupid question? What do you think a general election would be like for Sanders if his platform wasn't challenged during the primary, when candidates are *supposed* to be vetted?
Carolyn Talbot Stupid is the wrong word but the question is clearly constructed to give Bernie’s solution a bad name. Simply ”yes” would give the impression that Bernie’s plan makes you pay more when in fact you pay less.
@@carolyntalbot947 It's a stupid question because while the sound-bite answer is "yes", the contextual answer is "you'll save a ton of money". It's a question that assumes a framing that is just irrelevant.
Interviewers willing to give Sanders room to breathe around those questions, and provide that context, are good. I suspect Colbert asked that question that way intentionally, to provide an opportunity for Sanders to provide that context, and deconstruct the poor framing.
"Bad" interviewers ask that question and then don't give the interviewee the space to provide a full answer. See 90% of the debates. Or just about anything on 24 hour news networks.
@GrandOne Network The point of asking this question is to get in front of the GOP talking points that will undoubtedly be used against Sanders in a general election. He was given time to contextualize his answer. When you guys have this knee-jerk reaction to anyone who dares to question Sanders, and no problem repeating the smears against other candidates, it makes his supporters look like an irrational cult of personality.
Do any of you pay $12K per year for healthcare, as Sanders claims is the national average?

I feel like answering a question as a politician without giving context, is like playing Russian roulette where all but one chambers has a nuclear weapon in it.
And yet the way journalists conduct interviews with politicians frequently involves forcing them to forgo context in favour of quick responses and soundbites. I understand that journalists have to weed out answers from a bunch of obfuscation and bullshit but interviews such as the one analysed here with Bernie Sanders demonstrate that sometimes a great deal of context is required and just giving a quick, simple answer will misrepresent the reality of the situation.
One of the recent Labour party leadership debates had a quickfire questions section. All of the candidates rebelled against that format because they couldn't give answers that weren't misleading without providing context.
especially when you're Bernie Sanders and the entire media is owned by mega-rich people who have a very big financial interest in a self-proclaimed democratic socialist not becoming president. There's a reason none of the supposedly 'left-wing' media outlets are challenging the narrative that he's a Stalinist, or that he hates Jews (despite being a Jew), or that Batista's govt in Cuba was better than the communist govt.... Hell, they're helping propagate those narratives.
It's so blatant too, but the libs somehow think that pretending not to see it makes them look better than just admitting they see that it's pure propaganda but support it anyway.
I really enjoy these videos where you breakdown peoples speech. It's really interesting how you provide context to the choices people make in words and what they emphasis in each sentence. The video essay is an incredibly powerful form the communication. Thank you for being a great example of what this art form can be. I look forward to watching what comes next. Cheers. ~E

Like an ungrateful child, you still fail to understand where your food comes from.
Here's the problem:
Your healthcare gets worse as the future taxes expected from you go down.
Healthcare is rationed, but it's about how much you'll repay into the system. The US only has one of the lowest longevity rates because of obesity. I honestly don't think it'd be as bad if we lowered foodstamps amounts or had people pay directly for their obesity.
No one goes bankrupt... Yet, your time is coming
My son lost an eye because Montreal didn’t hire enough ophthalmologists. The doctor said, I wish I saw this months ago. Meanwhile Montreal has free in-vitro treatment, which is non-essential and 5% effective. Over $100 million a year for in-vitro and they won’t hire enough ophthalmologists. The medical system is mired by whimsical political notions, rather than actual demand.
P.s. the u.n. Agency gave their ophthalmology dept. a ‘D’
We moved out of Quebec partly because their medical system is so bad

Can you do one on Joe Biden? Always find it amusing how he struggles to construct political talking points.

"Listen here, Fat!" - obviously what Joe was getting at here was a reference to the negative effects of consumerism on racial subgroups-
"Watch Joe confused at why people won't vote for him after he calls them lying dog faced pony soldiers..."
It wouldn't be fair. The man mental abilities have degraded with age... His family and friends are not doing right by him by not taking him aside and telling him to drop out. It's just sad.
Colbert: "So Joe, how are you going to deal with vitriolic, divisive politics in Trump's America?"
Biden: "Look Stephen, I'll tell you a thing or two about the politics. I've BEEN politics.

What I'm trying to say is that when Barack and I worked in the White House, we didn't take too well to malarkey, and if you don't believe me you're a damn pony boy, dog-faced liar. I have a strong vision of what the soul of America should look like, and if you agree, you should vote Biden for the US senate"

@@westsidebeachbums1716 Why would they delay a cancer patient treatment for 2 years? That seems like a pretty evil thing to do. Surely there's at least one American presidential candidate running on improving your healthcare standards, to make them on par with the rest of the developed world, who would ensure that those in need don't have to wait or pay exorbitant prices.
The things about sanders answers are that he may take a long time but unlike other politicians he always answers the questions
He has to dismantle the right-wing framing first before he can get to it. It's the difference between asking "does 2+2=4?" and "Why are you saying 2+2=5, and that Americans should believe you instead of their math teachers?"
With him, I find you actually get the feeling that he genuinely wants you to understand and learn more about the topic he's talking about. It's not infantilising or reductive, and I think many people appreciate being talked to like adults for once.

Rhetoric is beautiful, i highly suggest reading speeches and letters by Martin Luther King Jr. They're all so easy to read and GRIPPING 😍
I think this is called more often "discourse analysis" within communication studies and in other social sciences like politology and sociology. Rhetoric is a little of a more outdated term, but clearly in order to have a good grasp of political communication´s main issues, one has to have had a good review of the history of discussions around "rhetoric" which go as far back as ancient Greece and Rome

Bernie has to change the framing of questions first. They're out for snippets where he says what they want him to say.
Cianski yup “sound bites” and btw i like your pic lol that video is weeiiirrddd
@@KRUSTYskates what video is the picture from?
uwu axolotl uwu “Not so fast”
@Very Fake News CNN i cant tell if this is serious or not
Agreed. The mainstream media is so opposed to his policies that most of the questions he gets are of the "When did you stop beating your wife?" variety. Obviously he's going to need to reframe that sort of question before answering it.
I'm in the tank for Bernie because of his policies but I'm still impressed by his rhetorical style. And, living in the Midwest, his style resonates with ordinary voters. Even die-hard Republicans I know will say they respect Bernie because he clearly communicates what he stands for and has been consistent for decades.
Nah he's off
His policies will further destroy the US's economy. Sure, he does speak good, but he will kill the US doing so
Very interesting! Thanks for this.
The similarity of Amy Klobuchar's and Hillary Clinton's style of speech:
"I..." "I..." "I...." "I was the first one who said...." " I was the one who proposed...." I was the first who...." " I said...." " I. did.." " I....." "I ...."
Biden tends to speak like that as well. All three have been in politics and legislating for many years, so it makes a certain amount of sense, but it does appear more with them than someone like Bernie (who also has many years under his belt).
Yea that’s Biden’s entire shpeel. And he yells it too lol

When nerdwriter starts to pull out the Mark Rober music, you know shit's about to go down.
Lol true
Mark Rober is boss

I like how you address that Sanders ends up reframing the original question to be a commentary about the world-view that he's fighting against. It's such a helpful way to explain why so many of his followers are about fighting against a broken system and why the ideas feel radical when they're ultimately just about taking a better and more simple approach.
What's simple about universal healthcare
I mean, it's really quite simple. So simple every developed country in the world except y'all have it.
That may very well be the case, but he seems weak to me. He wimped out faster than you can say "black supremacy victim complex" when BLM stormed his stage, insulted him and treated him like absolute garbage.
The system is broken, yes it is. Maybe broken isn't the right word. Imperfect and corrupt, because of people. The problem isn't so much the system as it is the people on top, and the public's ignorance, pleasure-seeking behavior and willful obedience.
I just don't see Bernie Sanders as a leader.

"Politics is the art of words" Jimi Hendrix
MediaTech John great quote, but this is also political, politics actually is just words, doesn’t need to be art, most political ideas are not that sophisticated
whoa thats like so deep dude
My favorite Hendrix quote: “When the love of power is overcome by the power of love, the world will know peace”
that's rhetoric
Meh, for some voters. But for a great many voters the details of the policies matter more than the words used. Just because the media or the politicians focus on lowest common denominator thinking that doesn’t mean it works all the time (or even all that often).
That bird flying onto his podium in the middle of a speech in front of that many people is always amazing to me. Not just that it happened but, the crowd noticing, they point it out to him, he recognizes it, then it flies to him. I'm not putting any belief into it, it was awesome though.

Hades as a political scientist actually you also need to read some literature. Bernie isn’t a “socialist” he is a classic European social democrat, despite whatever he claims. Bernie doesn’t advocate for socialism (the collective ownership of the means of production by the workers) Bernie advocates for social programs to cover for capitalism ills (i.e. healthcare, housing, etc)

@DoddSpell Biden is more Republican than Democrate anyway. This two party system is a very odd spectrum because we still make the whole thing a team game. It is supposed to be understanding and open but we have made it and us or them money scheme.
His questions are always framed from the right. What about "how are we gonna pay for these wars, bailouts, subsidies?"
Melissa Panda I just read that medical companies continue to charge say $11,000 per tune of cheap ointment to insurance companies, who bill the government, and the government pays it no questions asked. That’s how pharmaceutical companies make $100 billion in profits a year/quarter/whichever. Also, the U.S. grows so much corn, because of subsidies, and have world-class harvesting equipment, but won’t grow normal vegetables to feed the population, instead importing a lot from Latin America.
This isnt a right framing at all. You dont care about that part?
And it doesn´t help that most of the Democratic Party elite agrees with neoliberal economics and the military industrial complex. In the rest of the industrialized world the Democratic Party would be considered a center right party and in some issues someone like Angela Merkel (a conservative in Germany) is to the left of Barack Obama for example
@@III-zy5jf The companies arent making 100 billion dollars in profit, the industry as a whole is doing that. What you said would be like saying that Apple's profit represent the profits if the entire tech industry.

Bernie is a fantastic communicator. He doesn't automatically accept the framing of questions. That's the mistake many candidates make, ensuring that the downside of their plan creates a problematic soundbite. The way Bernie gives his answers, you can't drop the context without making your audience suspicious of what the missing context is.
