Bernie Sanders has been 100 years old for the last 25 years
Do you mean in the sense, wisdom? Yes is the right answer.
And he *still* has fire in his heart. So much more energy than trump.
@@diabl2master I'd say Trump has quite a lot of energy still. Especially at his rallies
He looks old but he's fairly fit. I don't think he's the wittiest or most eloquent guy but he's not a tired old man.
I'd say trump looks the youngest between him, Biden and sanders but he's also the dumbest, the most selfish and least charitable.
Fun fact, the "gentleman" from California was forced to resign from Congress after he was found guilty of bribery and tax fraud lolololol
He didn’t resign, I think Congress voted to expel him from Congress in 2002.
@@memesandspices yes but then he got pardoned by trump
He was guilty of bribery even when theres a legal way of getting bribes called lobbying? Jeez how greedy was this guy?
@@Fenrir214 He was a mobster. He threatened Pentagon officials with investigations if they did not favor his chosen firm, procured prostitutes, took kickbacks, pled guilty to tax evasion and fraud etc.

@EmerBlox what does nazi stand for again?
or that's right national *socialist*
@@denenterpriesesorwhatsleft6386 Congrats, you fell for false advertising.
Hitler used the term Socialist as a term to pull people in aka propaganda. The Strassers expanded the Nazi party by tying nationalism and Socialism together to appeal to the working class and poor citizens. In the 1920s Hitler sought the support of wealthy industrialists to push anti-socialist policies. When Otto Strasser realized the Nazis were neither Socialist or a party of workers so he left to form the Black Front, the left wing section of the Nazi party. In the 30s Hitler aligned himself with nationalists and conservatives who believed and supported Facism solely. Not long after that Socialists, Communists, Jews, and democrats were purged from civil service and labor unions were outlawed which goes completely against the basic tenents of Socialism. Hitler also had Gregor Strasser and other Socialists murdered to keep down the dissent. Any traces of Socialism had been extinguised by the mid-1930s. I'm not sure how you got the idea that people are uneducated for bringing up the fact that he had Socialists killed and had them removed from their jobs. That's just a fact. I'm sorry you can't change history to fit your narrative but the Nazis were nationalists and despite 'free" healthcare they did not espouse basic socialist ideals.
Bernie’s a reminder that “it was a different time” is a shield cowards hide behind.

How'd they get talking about gay soldiers and socialism in a debate about the Clean Water Act?
Ideology trumps reason in this country
A really common right-wing strategy is pretending all of the bad things in the world are connected. America was doing great until Cultural Marxism came along, then we got environmentalism, gay rights, women's rights, transgender people, secular education, welfare policies, and so on.
It’s a tactic I’ve seen a lot with republicans
A M E R I C A
they're afraid of us turning the frogs gay
Fun fact: The "gentleman" from California, while a confirmed fighter pilot with a Navy Cross (an actual ace), he would end up pleading guilty to accepting $2.4 million in bribes. He served eight years, but not before resigning from the House in 2005.
The gentleman from Vermont, on the other hand, was once arrested (with a smile, I might add)at a civil rights demonstration in 1963 involving school segregation.
While I respect Cunningham's service, I vastly prefer Bernie's neverending fight for social equality, as well as personal character. Respect to the Mitten Man.
Not so fun fact, Trump pardoned Cunningham (California not so gentleman) when he left office.

@JHeints - Makes no sense. How is it socialism to want our taxes to go where they are most needed? E.g., going towards free education and things like raising the minimum wage, or universal healthcare (that other 1st world countries already make use of).
@JHeints - Why do we have a $700B military budget? Absolutely no need for it to be that much. Tanks are produced and just sit on lots costing taxpayers millions every year, when that money could be better spent elsewhere. Should we have to subsidize our war-hungry presidents' expenditures, brought on by fiscally poor decisions? Somehow it's fine for a snake bite to cost a camper $140k in medical bills, and also fine to be mass producing tanks for $4.3 million a unit when they won't be used by anyone...
Not sure what country you're living in where college is cheap. Go to a top school or even a public 4 year university after transferring credits from a community college and you're still looking at tens of thousands a year in loans. That's not even including professions like medicine or law, where students are required to take out $200k+ in loans that definitely won't be getting paid off in two years after graduation unless you want to sleep in your car and shower at the local gym.
@JHeints - Paying anything for college is expensive by comparison when looking at other first world countries that have government funded four year degrees.
Likewise, there are more than just a handful of EU nations that provide free or extremely low cost post-secondary education while also allowing access to universal healthcare; namely Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany, and France.
Is it any surprise, then, that most of these countries also rank among the highest in the world in terms of 'happiness'?
The status quo has worked for us, and will continue to work, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a new, better standard that would fit Americans better. That's what we should strive for.
@JHeints - The fuck kinda college are you going to? Community? ROFL.
@JHeints - Are you seriously saying america doesn't have a student debt problem? Or a medical spending problem when America has the most expensive healthcare system in the world?
It doesn't matter how cheap or expensive your degree is. On the whole, it is a problem, and that's undeniable.
Since when did sexual orientation affect anyone’s ability to use a firearm, to fight or to be a soldier? Literally no scientific basis or logic involved.
Exactly. I wouldn't care at all if the guy watching my back liked dudes or not
bigotry never operates with science or logic
I served in the Army with men and women of every race, religion, and sexual orientation you can think of (and many I had never heard of before). As long as they could hit their targets at the range, perform their work tasks, and keep a cool head, I didn't care about anything else. At the end of the day, if you can trust them to have your back when the brown stuff hits the fan, that is all that matters.
these attributes don't matter. This pos god awful senators hasn't fought for anything other than himself so he doesn't understand what's important.

Gandalf The Green HILARIOUS
@Oober Goober When you're literally that transphobic and/or ignorant, it's not a valid "view." The science confirms that gender/sexual identity develops in the brain and is an integral part of both a person's neural anatomy and physiology. There are countless studies out there that show this.
So no, "people on the right" can't "have views too" when those positions contradict all science and logical reason. Get out of here, snowflake. Go back to your anti-trans safe space.

Wikipedia: Cunningham resigned from the House on November 28, 2005, after pleading guilty to accepting at least $2.4 million in bribes and under-reporting his taxable income for 2004. He pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud, wire fraud and tax evasion. He was sentenced to eight years and four months in prison and was ordered to pay $1.8 million in restitution.[1] On June 4, 2013, Cunningham completed his prison sentence and he currently lives in Arkansas.

As a European i struggle so much to understand how Bernie isn't the most beloved politician you guys have. He actually wants to solve the problems everyone is suffering from
well unfortunately Bernie's ideas are seen as communist when in reality he embraces the idea that Europe has implented, things like universal health care, protecting the rights of marginalized groups, and so on; half of the USA still has archaic conditioning that is stopping a leader like bernie from becoming president
Bernie is openly socialist, which, because of years of propaganda from the government, means that liberals and conservetives tend to hate him or think he's a violent stalinist extremist. In most western countries, he would just be seen as a leftist politician, but in the USA he's a radical leftist, which automatically makes him evil to those on the other side.
The simple answer is just that America has a pretty skewed view of politics compared to most of the developed Western world. Bernie is left-wing. Truly left wing. In America that makes you... essentially an extremist. A communist.
@@manspaghetti6351 in Europe he would be centre left

"Don't ask, Don't tell" was a stupid policy that pretended to be tolerant of LGBT.
LGBT was still banned, but the military was not allowed to inquire about it. They could only discharge you if YOU did something that made it evident.
Basically it was a false compromise that said LGBT was still banned if you got caught, so don't get caught.

@@Erl0sung Have you jackasses even read the DSA website and their ambitions?
@kkthxk he hung the soviet flag, not flew it, inside his office in honor of the Soviet sister city Yaroslav. Not because of communism.

Same with Nicaragua.
The thing is, this was back when people were a lot more homophobic. Saying stuff like this probably got him more backlash than anything, so you know for a fact that he didnt say it because he wanted publicity, but because he genuinely meant it.

That wasn't the behavior of all of them.
It is a clear reminder of how radically right wing and fear based american Republican policy has been for at least the last 30 years. The anti gay and anti social hate speech is not consistent with any American values. These are the same hateful crybabies who complain about political correctness because they are not smart enough to recognize how unacceptable and socially damaging their views have become as society evolves.
It's incredible how quickly the gay rights issue turned around. Even 15 years ago being a hateful person like this was A okay.

But in my country it is a popular opinion to respect each and every religion and i can't express my opinion without anonimity because if i do i would recieve endless amount of hate. In this case im just leaving it in the hand of time to fix things and make people "woke".

If I was American I would have voted for Bernie back in 2016
He’s changed since
don’t worry. I did. Proudly voted for him in 2016 and in 2020.
sanders has been 100% consistent, honest and ethical his entire career.
you literally cannot find a single clip where he says or does something that goes against his nature.
what a fantastic man and what an absolute tragedy that he was robbed of the nomination for the second time.
he inspires change, hope and compassion and this is exactly what the country needs so badly.
biden is just less horrible than trump, that's about all he can ever be and i will vote for him very begrudgingly.
i am so heartbroken that bernie didnt reach presidency, but hopefully he has inspired a new generation of people who carry and embody his values and morality and decency will one day win
I'm not a fan of Bernie, and I'm especially not a fan of Biden. Trump, even through his flaws, is better fit to run the country than Biden. For Bernie, I don't like MANY of his proposals for changes and policies. However, I absolutely admire his convictions behind his statements. As you said, he has been 100% consistent with his career. I believe he is one of the very few politicians that may actually care for regular American citizens. His beliefs behind his policies I can support, and in theory everything he says sounds like a very good thing. It's the implementations of his proposals that lose me. If the implementations were a little more realistic, then I think I would dabble in the blue. But for now, I'll stay in the red.
Also, not a fan of him preaching about political corruption and then go and back both Hillary and Biden when he falls out of the races. Honestly it may have been pressure from the Democrat Party, since he gained so much popularity and they'd want to use that to keep voters loyal to the other Democrats. I wish he would've stuck to his guns and said "screw you" to the party. I respect him, but I would've respected him a lot more if he didn't turn tail and support the same people he claims he was against.
i disagree with his policies but he’s a respectable man
His implementation is pretty straightforward.
There are countless western European nations who already do many of his key policy desires.
Nationalised healthcare is the standard for the developed world. Along with free college for many nations and a significantly more generous welfare state.
It can and does work within many very wealthy and capitalist nations.
While its portrayed as socialism, it's not. Its capitalism with a social safety net and medical and educational provision.
Having an educated and healthy population is good for business.
@kuma absolutely, a lack of understanding as to what socialism is (in respect to America) or that as you say - how most modern western nations are far more socially progressive.
It's sad because outside of the like of Sanders nobody is having the conversation to being the US in line with the rest of the developed world.
As a Brit, it's miserable to think of the considerable number of good honest hardworking Americans (along with those less fortunate) who go without healthcare.
It's a moral failing.
@kuma Americans say he is a socialist because he is a self-proclaimed socialist. Not saying that’s good or bad, just stating the info here

There's a huge misconception that if a gay man (even a soldier) comes into contact with any other man, he will immediately only think of sex and flirting. Straight people flirt, gay people flirt, neither would do so in the middle of a flipping warzone.

He pleaded guilty to federal charges of tax evasion, and conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud, and wire fraud. He was sentenced to eight years and four months in prison and was ordered to pay $1.8 million in restitution.[2] On June 4, 2013, Cunningham completed his prison sentence; he now lives in Arkansas.

Facts
You can clearly tell that our government doesn't like him. They don't like Trump either, but Trump is really not good at what he does, he's just too polarizing, even for America. Bernie is someone who you can tell takes his job and position seriously. He has so many years of experience and consistently stood up for what's right. It's as though the Democrats are purposely not allowing Bernie to take his natural progression in government any further. In favor for lesser picks because they'll play by their rules, rules that keep them from doing their jobs correctly.
Has nothing to do with it. It`s just the media giving Trump all the screen time in 2016 and not giving any to Bernie in 2020 and just all to first Pete and then Biden.. people just vote on the one they see the most, it`s that simple, most people are simply that stupid.
