Consistency and sincerity are overrated virtues. Just because your sincere and consistent, it does not make u correct. ISIS has been consistent and sincere in what they believe. That does not make them correct or good.
Notebook Of Thinkers but Bernie is for the people. ISIS is for themselves and their religion. Big difference. It pays to be consistent when it’s about the right things.
The scary thing is that Sanders is classed as extremely left wing in the US. But he’s suggesting things that happen in the UK under a government that is classed as central Right wing
ye the nature of american politics or better say the "median" is centre right... u basically have to chose between neoliberalism or ideological right wing (-ism, lol) rly sad to see the nation that used to be the shining beacon turn it self into ruins
Diana Hoff Because he represents a cultural shift towards Socialism and away from Capitalism; which has obviously proven to be effective for us in the past. In fact, we have been directly at war with Communism for decades, and most Americans are not willing to head in that direction whatsoever
Well what works somewhere won't work somewhere else I'm from a socialist country we are a mess because of it don't try it it sounds good on paper but it doesn't work for long
@normal gentleman Interesting! I'd be interested to hear more -- what country are you from and in what way is it not working? I'm sure that your actual experience would lend a lot more to the discussion and be a lot more convincing than the usual conservative "socialism is evil because we say so" line that we get in the USA. Please fill us in.
@@normalgentleman106 Thanks. I'm not really familiar with the situation in more than the very broadest strokes. In what specific way is socialism causing Greece's problems? Also, I was under the impression that y'all voted out the social democrats and voted in a conservative government back in 2011-ish? Was a decade of conservative government not enough to fix things? Are they at least making progress?
@@thart1338 I mean this was the obvious thing that almost floored me. His position is so diametrically opposed to what he said 4 years ago. He's become more woke and cares less about the working class and poor americans.
@@natskis Maybe, he's more aware of how many people are working in the U.S. with no citizenship. That makes them incredibly vulnerable to exploitation.
***** Let me rephrase that. I don't think you want to but I think that'd be what would happen if someone asked about pay inequality for women and he said "there isn't much pay inequality actually." I just think it's a silly point to complain about. If he does believe there's a wage gap (many do still) he'll do research and figure out that all-though there is in some places, it's very insignificant. I don't believe that he knows there isn't a wage gap yet says there is anyways, but even if he knew it was small why give people who make a living blowing things out of proportion ammo to fire at him. In his position I think he has to be very blunt about what needs to happen in this country to create change and gain support, but he also needs to be careful.
Platinum9951 If Bernie still believes there is a wage gap, he is simply naive. It's recognized now that the studies conducted to prove the "wage gap" were not scientifically honest. They didn't take into account the types of jobs men and women typically hold, and they didn't compare the number of hours worked. They just did a one-to-one comparison of men's and women's salaries. I'm sure Bernie knows the truth. He's not dumb. Do you really want to elect another career politician who casually speaks untruths to garner votes?
MrTheBeast Democratic socialism won WWII, landed us on the moon, created the largest middle class in the history of the world. It all went to shit after Nixon passed the Legislative Reform Act of 1969. The U.S. has been dominated by the wealthy with bribes and bullying ever since. We're no longer a capitalist society, we are an oligarchy and soon to be theocracy if the nutty right-wing somehow wins this next election.
MrTheBeast Wel I don't live in one of those nations so I wouldn't know but we are not a pure socialistic state, tard. How is overpriced shitty qualified Healthcare for you ?
It is fun watching the elderly get owned based on simple things they should have got right in their youth. You would think after 40 years he might have held a job - HAHAHAHA
@@QDibieYT I do not know what you are saying "no" to. So I do not know what you are disagreeing with. "Progressive" is an ambiguous term. You do not explain what ideas he has are progressive. But I can explain why his ideas are NOT progressive. Andrew Yang said in the debates that socialism is not a viable idea in our high tech world today. I think he is right. Everyone who has done the math has determined that his "progressive" ideas do not add up. The cost of his social programs are not covered by his tax increases. Not working is not being progressive.
Get ready to have your taxes jacked up then if he wins. Read his tax plan. His great strategy is to start taking taxes out of the pocket of a man who makes $29,000 ( the new 4 percent taxes would be applied at any income $29,000 and over). I edited this post to reflect the exemption calculation mentioned by the poster below: The $1,200 in new taxes would be approached after income surpasses $50,000 -- since the first $29,000 is exempted, according to the explanation from the poster below
@@scylax7669 Read his whole tax plan on his website man. People making under $29,000 still pay the same taxes. Anyone making over $29,000 (a huge chunk of the working class) will have their taxes raised. I guess you could say that's great if you have 5 kids and your monthly health care premium is $600. But what about an unmarried young person making middle income salary whose premiums are relatively low ... they could be taxed more than $1,300 extra with no benefit to offset it. This post was edited to correct the original calculations -- the poster Styrant pointed out that the tax increase is 4 percent beginning with $29,000 income -- whereas the calculation i used factored in 4 percent on any person's TOTAL income if they made at least $29,000. Still, a young working person making $52,000 for instance, and paying $1,000 a year in premiums would be losing $600 under Bernie's plan.
***** even if he is a "commie", is that any worse than a murdering, treacherous corporate shill or a misguided, ignorant, xenophobic pseudo-billionaire?
Because of hardcore anti-socialist/communist propaganda ever since the Cold War. people think america is gonna end up like Stalin-era Russia if they implement socialist ideas.
sawadee but they don't pay that much tax as it is, it seems a lot because the average American isn't earning a lot but their tax dollars are spent on things that could be changed such as aid to Israel, hyper-militarisation and foreign expansion. Imagine if they spent that money instead on education, healthcare and green energy resources. America would truly be the greatest country on Earth
Just IMAGINE how different things would be now, if this remarkable man had won the nomination and become president 4 years ago..... sends chills down the spine thinking about how incredible the USA could be by the time he finished his second term!!!
Yes, because the US spent so many years associating socialism with communism and they are so different! But the average US citizen hears socialist and sees red (pun intended). Socialized services like health care WORKS! I live in Canada and I have never had to pay for health care, I've delivered to babies surgically (C-section) and not had to pay a cent, my oldest had 2 brain surgeries before age 1 and it didn't cost me a cent (he's now in grade 6), my husband had pneumonia and didn't cost me a cent. I really don't understand how logical human beings can vote against universal health care.
@@rachelmoss5803 Of course all of those things cost you. Something like 70 cents of every tax dollar you pay goes towards health care in Canada. I really don't understand how logical human beings can not do simple math.
matty922117 He's socialist, but a lot of people have made the assumption that democratic socialism is an evil thing. That's not necessarily an opinion, that's exactly what some if not most people think of when they hear the word socialism.
matty922117 Democratic socialism and social democracy have pioneered EVERY social reform that has ever existed, before they were mainstream. Sexual and racial equality, suffrage, emancipation from chattel slavery, social security, medicare, unions, minimum wage etc. were all originally socialist proposals.
I think our children would still have a future either way, and I believe the children who grow up working the hardest and smartest should have more wealth than those who don't put in as much brain and effort.

Someone who actually works man I am glad I paid off my college debt because I have a useful degree that actually makes me money so I won’t act like it’s the governments responsibility to pay for it
Anarchist Gaming it has nothing to do with that at all, it should be in a country and government interest to provide free or almost free college to its citizens if they want to have the best people come into the workforce or the government apparatus that create the much needed highly specialized workforce needed in todays global markets and market competition. That again raise the GDP of a country. Would be very sad to miss a genius from taking higher college edification because they cant afford it and not have the country benefit from his or her brain to solve problems or innovate and find solutions or create businesses. That helps the overall economy and country and its people. Thats what other countrys are doing, they se it as an investment that must be profitable in the long run because noe of the countrys that have intuition free college have ever abolished it after it was introduced.
@@tex4763 what do you think where "the governments money" comes from?

@@liantsoaranai6903 I would guess he's going off the precedence of what has happened to the majority of nations that entered the magical world of socialism. It is it definitely "interesting" to observe U.S citizens pretending that socialism is a good idea, when the vast majority of times it was been implemented it has failed brutally, while living in a country that was literally built into a superpower by being extremely capitalist. It's almost as if proof and precedence meant nothing.
I’m watching this on 2020 and I’m particularly amazed with the Greece-Golden Dawn answer at the end. Not only he was aware of the general political climate of the EU at that time, he knew the percentages of the unemployment rate in Greece! I’ve been following him since 2015 and I certainly believe this man is one of the most sincere, most “real” politicians in the modern history of the world. I hope he wins in 2020 and moves USA towards democracy and equality, creates a wave for social and economic justice all over the world.
Hi Roy. Yeah, maybe the campaign rules do need to change, but you are telling me that people are so easily fooled by commercials? Is that the core problem we are having, or is it something else?
Hi Roy. And yes, lobbyist buying influence is not good either, esp when it is corrupt. Tell me specific lobbyist buying something specific that has put us in this social and economic strife some of are having today.
+The Guy Chris He's got a real tangible plan for education, healthcare and bringing the minimum wage up to $15/hour. He's driven by morals and not greed. In fact, he sounds like a lot of the politicians we have in Canada. It's about quality of life. If you compare the quality of life of Americans with other industrialized countries, America is near the bottom of the list.
Greetings from Canada. Hope my American friends make the right decision in 2016. Hint: Bernie is that decision. He will be the best President America will have had in decades. Just listen to him talk. He actually cares.
***** The ideas of both 'sides' have been tried and both have failed on multiple occassions. It's the execution of those ideas that changes. Saying that certain ideas have failed in the past doesn't neccesarily reflect what impact they will have now in this case because the country is always changing as well as what the people need.
***** More taxes for the rich. Most large american companies like GE literally pay 0 with a z in tax revenue yet recieve a 100 million + dollar refund from the IRS. While I made over 70,000 last year driving truck paid almost 20,000 in federal income tax and still recieved less than 1,000 in refund? Lol something very wrong there. But you could be right about the vote thing though.

11 minutes in, and I'm crying! He's answering every single question without any dodging! I am so glad to see this after watching so many other politicians and heck religious debates to boot. A typical politician (Hilary, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, etc.) would answer, "You know, on that note my (insert parent/mentor) was a great person who believed (insert ideology)." Bernie is more like, "We do that by legislating (insert specific act of legislation) and we need to do (specific action)." He's not talking about his religious upbringing and how it taught him morals and he's not saying blah blah blah God bless America! This guy is the realest politician running for president I have ever seen! #Feelthebern #Sanders2016
***** And the thing is, if you have watched him like I have now for years, you understand that he really is who he says he is. You can love him (like I do) or hate him if you want, but you still have to respect him for not pandering to one group or another, or taking a mushy middle ground. He has been right on every issue I can think of from voting against bad trade deals and budgets, to protecting personal freedoms and liberties, and even fought FOR the civil rights cause (before it was the cool thing to do (halfheartedly) by me too (ers) I believe he is the second lowest Senator in terms of NET WEALTH. He's not rich because he doesn't want to be. He could easily have sold out like Hillary or Bush or etc, does daily and become fabulously wealthy ignoring the people's rights.
***** I did yes. Buy over time I changed my mind on the policies I support. I'm not full Libertarian anymore. More of a balance of different ideologies. :)
He drastically shifted his immigration stance for the purpose of getting the Latino vote. He isint for complete open borders but he is in favor of policy that will encourage illegal immigration, by continually going illegal immigrants amnesty. Instead he should give one time amnesty to Daca kids and taxing paying illegal immigrants.
Both fighting for things that are popular in the majority of the country, so the two are populist by concept. Being populist is not a bad thing. Lula elevated our country worldwide and did great things in the social spectre of our nation. Sadly Mrs. Roussef don't have the same leadership and cunning like their predecessor - but I voted for her anyways.
I don't know how anyone could get behind socialism it has a 100% fail rate, taking bits and pieces from socialism is ok but giving everything away for free, people don't understand how that destroys a country.

Healthcare, education and a decent wage... come on man. I dont understand how anyone wouldnt go for that. Man I really dont care if the upper-middle class, the millionaires and the billionaires keep banking on the system but let the rest of us in the bottom 99 just get those things man. The "basic necessities of life".
You do know that Medicaid for all would cost 30 trillion dollars (according to Bernie Sanders himself). Meanwhile, the US government gets 3.3 trillion dollars in tax revenues. And even if you confiscated all wealth from the 1% you would just get 1.8 trillion dollars. Soo you're going to have to *drastically* raise taxes on everyone (recommend squeezing the poor they are such loyal taxpayers [That's how we do it in Scandinavia]) which people just simply don't like. They just want to pay for their own things and not everyone else's. And that was just Medicaid...
@@cuineform3708 I am pretty sure I heard it from a study that estimated how much money the US would be able to get out of the 1%. Of course, you can only confiscate a fraction of the net worth that's why it's quite low. The side effect would of course be that the economy would cease to exist when you bankrupt so many corporations. Sadly I couldn't for the life of me find the actual study, sorry.
@@8is If you believe for a second that megacorporations like Amazon, Apple and Google are going bankrupt just from that much, you certainly don't know much about economy...
Read his tax plan, read ours. Take a look at his minimum wage and then think you yourself what your saying. Also because he want to increase taxes on people who already pay more then 90% of America’s taxes
"We are moving very, very quickly from a democratic society-one person, one vote-to an oligarchic form of society where billionaires will be determining who the elected officials of this country are. I'm going to do everything I can to stop that."

Gosh darn it, Bernie is so fricken inspirational and motivational. Hearing him talk about his vision of where this country needs to go, serves to embolden us all, and to shine a guiding light upon the path of progress and the way forward to the future, a future in which we all have a place, both socially and economically!
This is my favorite interview of Bernie Sanders. lots of creative open ended questions. I cant get enough of it. I have listened to the entire interview many times.
BioMutarist nothing. Bernie supporters always say that his supporters rule social media and so I was making a joke about how supporters of other people on the internet are so rare
How consistent he is with his beliefs is what made me support him. You can look at this interview and it's just as relevant today as it was when it aired.
His ideas are idiotic and you are not smart if you think he can really deliver it for free nothing is free vote for him if you want 50% taxes on your free college salary its not free hes a liar. If this bozo wins and actually raises our taxes i might as well go to school since im paying for i anyways at that point.

Black people seriously need to get on the Bernie Sanders bandwagon. Progressives NEED your votes to be for Bernie! Or else he has no chance of beating Hillary who doesn't give a fuck about you
For the change that the system needs, he's as perfect of a candidate as we could ask for at this point in time. It's not exaggerating to say we desperately need Bernie Sanders to win the nomination.
Brandon Smith "It is wrong that women working full-time only earn 78 cents for every dollar a man earns. We have got to move forward and pass the Paycheck Fairness Act into law." The 78 cents to every man's dollar myth is feminist bullshit. It has been illegal to pay women less than men for over half a century and any company actually willing to do it could get in serious trouble. The gap is explained entirely or almost entirely by career choices and it has been debunked countless times. Signing the paycheck fairness act into law does nothing positive and only opens up the potential for frivolous lawsuits. "And you say he's ridiculously progressive as if that's s bad thing." It depends. Some of those people are crazy and get offended by literally everything.
People were so scared of trump that they didn't want to "take a risk" with Sanders. America felt like running Biden would be "playing it safe". They were wrong. But that was their perspective.
Which one? I know none. I think you mean social Democrat. Someone who accepts that markets and people have to be free and wants social regulations. Meaning that government organized systems won't Work on a bigger Level.
The happiest countries are the Nordics...and they do incorporate socialism in government protocols...with great success...the massive exodus are because of capitalism...that collapsed of the small companies ..small countries are conquered not in the name of democracy but in the name of favoring predatives laws against humanity not in opportunities for the world to uplift not in perpetuate oppressions...
If you like Bernie please plan on voting in the primaries. That's where the real battle is going to be. I know Bernie could mop the floor with whoever the GOP nominee is.

His views are genuinely empathic and the fire he has, despite his age, is contagious. Even better when you learn the incredible history of this guy. Thank you Bernie for inspiring & empowering us young folks to become community organizers, active citizens, and voters.
Gio giii That is a great point ... none of these cardboard cutouts will get close to real questions .. .and sadly that includes Hillary. But I do think Hillary will make a great VP! ;-)
justgivemethetruth I honestly don't know whether I would vote for Bernie Sanders if he chose _Hillary Clinton_ as his VP! She's a walking agent of corporatism and the antithesis of everything that Bernie stands for!
John Doe Gotta figure that Hillary is a great support person. She was good at First Lady, she was good as Senator, and Secretary of State. I don't think she would make a good executive, or at least an independent one, but she would be great as VP. Republicans would know if Bernie dies she'd be the President. She could also do many of the things she has claimed she wanted to do but did not have the power. I think it would work great, but I get where you're coming from. You have got to realize that anyone, even Bernie, is going to be somewhat cooperative with the corporations, you have to know what battles to fight, and ultimately it is the people that have to drive Bernie, or Hillary.
justgivemethetruth An intelligent, measured response, but did you just suggest that Bernie should temper his politics for fear of being assassinated‽ "Republicans would know if Bernie dies she'd be the President." What is that supposed to mean‽ Why not choose Jill Stein?
John Doe >> Why not choose Jill Stein? If that is a serious question, for one thing, she has no chance to win. For another she has no political or executive experience. I like Jill Stein, I saw her debate last election cycle on Democracy Now! and I even voted for her in the primary as a protest vote, since I am in CA and I knew Obama was going to win. I think any candidate as radical as Bernie should fear assassination, but temper his politics, how should I know, it's his decision.
+Matt Rowzee I know right, people like me with my privileged lower middle class background in Appalachia. It is definitely because I am selfish and think I am responsible for paying my own healthcare and education expense. It has nothing to do with this is a 73 year old man without a grasp of how R&D expense works in the healthcare sector, it is definitely not due to me having a Bachelors degree in finance and can see this man's lack of understanding.

Mark Raymond Ya, at a whopping 24 years old, I am good on Bernie Sanders. Sounds like the 'revolution' when Obama was running. EVERYTHING IS GONNA CHANGE GUYS!!!!!!! Also, no citation for anything you said and calling Ronald Regan and other politicians 'Libertarian', makes me wonder how much you truly understand the meaning of the word. Here is some help, if they have a R or D next to their name, they are not probably not a Libertarian.Anyone who thinks otherwise does not have a grasp on the word, political party or the philosophy of Libertarians.I guess you have a grasp on the word slander though. This helps, since you apparently don't know how corporate income taxes work. Did you even look at any of the companies' 10K filings for the years you cited? Of course not, that is hard work and I don't even know if you can read a balance sheet Also, even though my family has been here for over 300 years, according to you, I am not part of the 'We The People', even though if my ancestors failed, I would not be here and you wouldn't even have this country. This is due to the fact that they would be dead and I would not exist. It's okay though, inclusiveness and 'us vs them' is a good mentality to have...... if you are trapped in a Hegelian Dialectic :)
stephencolbert5 and....I don't disagree with your statement in anyway. I have voted for 0 Democrats and 1 Republican my whole life. That one Republican was Ron Paul and I vote every year and have since 18 years old.
Mark Raymond LOL Well, calling me stupid is not the way adults have conversations, then again you show how addled your mind is with every post you make. First off, most if not all, the people you listed are not Libertarians nor did you provide proof they are Libertarians. Secondly do you even know how personal and corporate income taxes are calculated and did you read any of the companies annual 10-K filings? Of course not, you would have to be a grown up and not an ignorant wreck of a person to even know what a 10 K is. Get on a treadmill, get that second chin of fat off your face, then humble your ego and actually research things, instead of copying and pasting shit off the internet and thinking are smart. Sorry Mark, maybe if you educate yourself on finance, economics and tax laws we can have an adult conversation. Until that happens you are just another kid wearing diapers in my mind :) Also, Bernie Sanders supporters are financially illiterate, something you have proved, so you should call yourself 'WE The (smart) People'. I will take a screenshot and share your post though, so everyone can see how egotistical Bernie supporters are.
Chuck Greenfield neither are bernie voters, they think nordic countries are democratic socialists and that bernie’s tax plan and minimum wage plan are good ideas
Hi Jacques. True, but most European countries that tried the socialist model are failing and reverting back to more conservative ways. England is right now considering breaking from the European Union.
+The Guy Chris England is one of the least socialist countries in Europe. But even Germany, the economic powerhouse of Europe, is way more socialist than we are in the US.
Hi Theresa, Yes, you are right about England and Germany. You know, I have heard different version's of people's opinions of what "socialism" actually means to them. Theresa, what is your definition of socialism?
+The Guy Chris In the context of this conversation, and European countries broadly, it's about spending priorities, i.e. the level and quality of services provided to the public, funded by their tax dollars. Does the government subsidize food, housing, health care, and education for the poor? To what extent?
Hi Theresa. Well, Bill Clinton passed the Welfare Reform Act because too many Americans were simply abusing the welfare system. So, I am not sure where the line is where people receive money because they are truly trying, and others who are taking advantage. Again, what is your definition of "socialism"?
I am a Canadian citizen that has moved abroad to a social democratic country, Portugal. One of the reasons I left Canada was my fear of the US society...if Bernie was at the helm this would not have been one of my reasons. US needs Bernie Sanders desperately.
What I love so much about this video is that it really shows a raw, unaltered version of what Bernie thinks and belives. You get to just hear him talk about the issues and decide what the pitfalls are and what the benefits are of his policies, his delivery, and his approach to both of these. I deeply appreciate this video Vox and thank you Ezra for executing this interview professionally and as removed as you could with incredible, well-rounded questions.

I’ve heard Warren, Biden & the rest say the have a plan to help struggling Americans. Have any of them sat down & give a decent explanation of how they can do that yet ?
To solve the problems America is facing today, you have to have a Bernie after a Bernie after a Bernie as presidents, and a lot of Bernies in the House and the Senate. I guess US people have to elect Bernie, and show the super rich they can have something done against the super rich's will. You have to vote for Bernie, you don't just give up and stop if something does not work, you have to vote again and again, until a change really occurs.
In most Western European countries I think Sanders would be seen as a moderate, not left, not right. In America he's on the far left. Why would that be?
@@loveingermarsson3234 No they are not. No one thinks that in Sweden unless they are a supporter of Sverigedemokraterna or something and/or have absolutely no idea what Sanders' policies are. Don't lie to the Americans.
@@alanamontero4743 im not lying to Americans, yes we do have most of the thing's he is talking about however it would be a better version of it and I don't think there is a law in Sweden that says that companies need to have workers at board meetings.
i have yet to find a policy of bernie sanders in which i do not agree with. the main reason i suspect is that he has this unique quality among american politicians: common sense.
Lucian Tritt the reasoning behind 15 dollar minimum wage is to allow people in the low income class the ability to not only support themselves but also support their families in a way that is comfortable and satisfactory(above poverty line). as it stands people on low income jobs are often extremely poor leading to hunger and homelessness. millions of children, in this sophisticated 1st world country, are literally starving because hard working parents are unable to support them. that should be unacceptable in the world's wealthiest country.
Lucian Tritt the goal is to raise the standard of living of all people. this is one way, not to 'benefit' this specific group, but to allow these hardworking americans lead a decent life. and i hope you realize that any policy is for a 'specific' purpose. its the interconnections of the many policies working in tandem that allow for all people to live happily.
Thank you for taking Sanders seriously, asking intelligent questions, and allowing him to speak without interruption. At this moment in our history, we need to hear him and those like him more than ever.
because democratic socialism/collectivist economics makes economies suffer. All those Scandinavian countries he trots out have free markets, maybe freer then ours. They just have very big welfare states. The Prime Minister of Denmark actually ask Sanders to stop calling them socialist because they arent. Capitalism makes us wealthy. Vote For Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate!
You have all been lied to, Trump is not the racist the media tells you he is. Trump and bernie have something in common, they both hate the establishment. So instead of being closed minded look into Trump more and you will find out hes not the bad guy here. I hate Fox news also.
+DD Gaming no. I don't believe trump is racist, just nationalist, but I do believe that he is a statist that stands against free trade and for big government
+Todd Howard I think Trump is a racist who is also a nationalist/ statist who stands against free trade and big government. I think there are a few economic things he has in common with Bernie but he does have a fascist disposition. If you're white I would def vote for Trump! If you're a minority, I would think about it but it's not so definite
I haven't watched this yet but my prediction is it will be one of the best interviews I've ever watched because it's Vox who actually ask important questions and explain things properly for their views and Bernie who genuinely answers the question he's asked and doesn't try to skirt around them
my prediction was pretty much right. He even brought up climate change when the interviewer didn't ask him about it! Bernie is the type of politician all countries need: truly for the people of the land
Bernie Sanders sounds more like an economics professor, rather than a politician. However, he's well-read on many issues (both global and national) that plague ordinary working class people and wishes to help establish a great society. Perhaps better yet, a better world. A liberal with common sense and that's well-informed on social factors that torment the disfranchised. He was also the only presidential nominee to address climate change. Sadly, he didn't become the runner up, it was given to Hillary Clinton. If he runs again for president again, he'll get my vote! Sanders 2020!
I find it so bizarre how a man with such principles and moral integrity was not elected president. One would think this man would have been one of the greatest leaders America has ever had. It's a stain on the conscience of this nation for not having elected him.
He has been preaching this same message since before I was born, and has stuck by this and never wavered in his stance. He is a man of his word, which is rare to find any a politician.
Yes but the green party is completely retarded and honestly, even worse then Hillary. The biggest thing is, she ACTUALLY thinks she is right, Hillary knows that she is bad and crooked and acts like she isn't. Stein and the rest of the green party are actually just insane.
They have a history of supporting anti-science stances, a sizable portion of their base are anti-vaxers, their vice presidential candidate claims that a large number of Sanders supporters are racist, and calls America a monstrosity. Their presidential candidate also barely has experience in a public office. Not to forget that third parties in America have no chance.
I’m a moderate and I had so many doubts during the primary when it all came down to Biden or Bernie. I voted for Bernie, and I’m glad I did. He is an inspiration!
He is a political manifestation of my ideas! Even trump supporters acknowledge that he would beat trump. The fact he is extremely populist. The fact that he doesn't have any super PAC's shows that he is extremely serious about these issues and not just flip flopping around like Hilary
Thanks for this interview; I just made up my mind who I'm voting for. Bernie is right in line with all my priorities for this country being for The People, not The Corporations
Hi Rose. Bernie's main speech phrase is "income inequality". How is it that income has become unequal? What does Bernie propose to do about it? He never goes into depth.
Hi Rose. I have listened to several of Bernie's speeches and he never gets into the causes of wealth inequality, or what specifically he plans to do about it. Please tell me.
Hello. Like I said, you can look at his website and his plan is well detailed. I won't write a long piece here just for you. If you're not interested in actually finding out about the candidates and doing your homework, it´s not my problem. I already have and I made up my mind. Plus it's Saturday, I will enjoy the weekend. Bye :-)
Hi Rose. Well, believe it or not, I am fully aware of google and all the wonderment it affords, links to websites, and all. Amazing stuff there. But I am interested in what YOU can enlighten me with in respect to my question to you? I want to talk to real people about important issues. Call me crazy.
Shahaan Saleem I live in Florida the amount of fear mongering that went on because of his “democratic socialist” title was insane. If i gave my opinion on him, that was remotely positive, I had been brainwashed by liberal professors.
Shahaan Saleem I can't believe you guys didn't elect him, well spoken en he has vision. At the same time I think he wouldn't have accomplished much. The political culture in America is all about money and corporations. You either need a revolution or a leader with little integrity that's willing to bend all the rules, but has vision like Bernie does. Trump is only halfway there.

Actually, insulin was invented in Canada and the patent was sold for $1. Penicillin was invented in England. We're not exactly the top of the top innovators of life saving drugs. It's not like Americans are the leading drug manufacturers, either. The large majority of prescription drugs we have here in the US, as Bernie said, are generic pharmaceuticals. Over 75% are produced in China and India and sold here in the States at astronomically inflated prices. That's disgusting.
It'll be an honor, a privilege and a pleasure to call this man «Mr President». Just think of all the young women and men he'll inspire to get into politics, to make this country a better place to live. I'm in.
Listen, I don't support Bernie Sanders, but he is far and away the most consistent, honest, and good-willed man (or woman, for that matter), in politics.

difficult to call him a politician, because he actually answers questions directly
Kingding6 Sadly, that's hilarious, and true.
Kingding6 he's still parroting the long-debunked "wage gap", even though he knows fully well it's not true.
Platinum9951
What are you talking about? Why do you think I want to "dilute his campaign into fighting extreme feminists"?
***** Let me rephrase that. I don't think you want to but I think that'd be what would happen if someone asked about pay inequality for women and he said "there isn't much pay inequality actually." I just think it's a silly point to complain about.
If he does believe there's a wage gap (many do still) he'll do research and figure out that all-though there is in some places, it's very insignificant. I don't believe that he knows there isn't a wage gap yet says there is anyways, but even if he knew it was small why give people who make a living blowing things out of proportion ammo to fire at him. In his position I think he has to be very blunt about what needs to happen in this country to create change and gain support, but he also needs to be careful.
Platinum9951
If Bernie still believes there is a wage gap, he is simply naive. It's recognized now that the studies conducted to prove the "wage gap" were not scientifically honest. They didn't take into account the types of jobs men and women typically hold, and they didn't compare the number of hours worked. They just did a one-to-one comparison of men's and women's salaries. I'm sure Bernie knows the truth. He's not dumb. Do you really want to elect another career politician who casually speaks untruths to garner votes?
If the US does not elect this man, then you have missed the best opportunity for change and progression.
^shut the fuck up. Bernie is what this country needs.
MrTheBeast That might be while you guys are considered a 3rd world country here in Europe lol ...

Get ready to have your taxes jacked up then if he wins. Read his tax plan. His great strategy is to start taking taxes out of the pocket of a man who makes $29,000 ( the new 4 percent taxes would be applied at any income $29,000 and over). I edited this post to reflect the exemption calculation mentioned by the poster below: The $1,200 in new taxes would be approached after income surpasses $50,000 -- since the first $29,000 is exempted, according to the explanation from the poster below
@@JohnSmith-tc6xx I'm pretty sure you don't actually pay any federal income taxes if you make $29k or below under his plan.
@@scylax7669 Read his whole tax plan on his website man. People making under $29,000 still pay the same taxes. Anyone making over $29,000 (a huge chunk of the working class) will have their taxes raised. I guess you could say that's great if you have 5 kids and your monthly health care premium is $600. But what about an unmarried young person making middle income salary whose premiums are relatively low ... they could be taxed more than $1,300 extra with no benefit to offset it. This post was edited to correct the original calculations -- the poster Styrant pointed out that the tax increase is 4 percent beginning with $29,000 income -- whereas the calculation i used factored in 4 percent on any person's TOTAL income if they made at least $29,000. Still, a young working person making $52,000 for instance, and paying $1,000 a year in premiums would be losing $600 under Bernie's plan.

Is it that Americans do not want to be taxed heavily?
sawadee but they don't pay that much tax as it is, it seems a lot because the average American isn't earning a lot but their tax dollars are spent on things that could be changed such as aid to Israel, hyper-militarisation and foreign expansion. Imagine if they spent that money instead on education, healthcare and green energy resources. America would truly be the greatest country on Earth

***** So far haven't heard any promises...he is only proposing his ideas that could work for this country and the problems he hopes to fix.
Jessica Scales His proposals involve a stronger government with more taxes. His ideas have been tried before and have failed.
***** The ideas of both 'sides' have been tried and both have failed on multiple occassions. It's the execution of those ideas that changes. Saying that certain ideas have failed in the past doesn't neccesarily reflect what impact they will have now in this case because the country is always changing as well as what the people need.
***** More taxes for the rich. Most large american companies like GE literally pay 0 with a z in tax revenue yet recieve a 100 million + dollar refund from the IRS.

I don't know how anyone could get behind socialism it has a 100% fail rate, taking bits and pieces from socialism is ok but giving everything away for free, people don't understand how that destroys a country.
Bernie is in for the people, Bernie for president 2020.
No, he's in for their money
so were the Sandinistas.
He is a loon and so are you for wanting to vote for him

Randy Hobbs did you watch the interview?
Every answer was honest and passionate.
J Stevens You have obviously very limited information on this topic, Sanders record as a politician, or any of the topics discussed in the interview.
***** or ... nobody should be taxes into poverty! taxes are violence!
***** and who will restrain the government violence? supposedly the militias, but nobody is fucking joining them!
if you're not part of the militia, you're part of the problem!
*****
the form of democracy you're talking about was invented by anarchists!
anarchy means without tyrants, not without state!
this while the governments have caused massive problems for thousands of years
mostly because people don't understand why it's important to have a counter force to the government; the militias!
americans didn't maintain the militias, that's why it all got out of control!
J Stevens What is the point of a government?
Healthcare, education and a decent wage... come on man. I dont understand how anyone wouldnt go for that. Man I really dont care if the upper-middle class, the millionaires and the billionaires keep banking on the system but let the rest of us in the bottom 99 just get those things man. The "basic necessities of life".
You do know that Medicaid for all would cost 30 trillion dollars (according to Bernie Sanders himself). Meanwhile, the US government gets 3.3 trillion dollars in tax revenues. And even if you confiscated all wealth from the 1% you would just get 1.8 trillion dollars. Soo you're going to have to *drastically* raise taxes on everyone (recommend squeezing the poor they are such loyal taxpayers [That's how we do it in Scandinavia]) which people just simply don't like. They just want to pay for their own things and not everyone else's. And that was just Medicaid...
@@8is can I get a source on where you got $1.8 trillion by confiscating all the wealth from the 1% ?
@@cuineform3708 I am pretty sure I heard it from a study that estimated how much money the US would be able to get out of the 1%. Of course, you can only confiscate a fraction of the net worth that's why it's quite low. The side effect would of course be that the economy would cease to exist when you bankrupt so many corporations. Sadly I couldn't for the life of me find the actual study, sorry.
@@8is If you believe for a second that megacorporations like Amazon, Apple and Google are going bankrupt just from that much, you certainly don't know much about economy...
Read his tax plan, read ours. Take a look at his minimum wage and then think you yourself what your saying.
Also because he want to increase taxes on people who already pay more then 90% of America’s taxes
"We are moving very, very quickly from a democratic society-one person, one vote-to an oligarchic form of society where billionaires will be determining who the elected officials of this country are. I'm going to do everything I can to stop that."
***** I actually agree. However, I still like the quote.
+Roy Orbison He probably knows that, but can't exactly say that since he is running for president.
Alex Yeah, I know what you mean. There are certain things that would just seem outrageous to be said because they're so completely un-talked about in the mainstream media and among politicians.
+A Skeptical Human Plus he still has to be able to work with the politicians when he wins; it doesn't help if he alienates them before had
+A Skeptical Human I trust billionaires more than I trust Big Government. Billionaires have a better track record on human rights than powerful governments..
I'm sobbing. Bernie is one of the most honest, genuine, and intelligent politician out there with a big heart for humanity. I wish with all my heart he was our president. T__T
bernie 2024
Gosh darn it, Bernie is so fricken inspirational and motivational. Hearing him talk about his vision of where this country needs to go, serves to embolden us all, and to shine a guiding light upon the path of progress and the way forward to the future, a future in which we all have a place, both socially and economically!
This is my favorite interview of Bernie Sanders. lots of creative open ended questions. I cant get enough of it. I have listened to the entire interview many times.
I’m rooting for Bernie in 2020 and I don’t even live in America (shoutout from egypt)
Biden 2020!!

BioMutarist no way there is a Biden supporter that uses the internet. I never thought I would meet another one.
@@alexcorazzini1079 What are you on about?
BioMutarist nothing. Bernie supporters always say that his supporters rule social media and so I was making a joke about how supporters of other people on the internet are so rare
How consistent he is with his beliefs is what made me support him. You can look at this interview and it's just as relevant today as it was when it aired.
And now, on August 1, 2022, still just as relevant.

Bernies not a socialist and his ideas are not radical. The country is run by billionaires, both parties are conservative
His ideas are idiotic and you are not smart if you think he can really deliver it for free nothing is free vote for him if you want 50% taxes on your free college salary its not free hes a liar.

Black people seriously need to get on the Bernie Sanders bandwagon. Progressives NEED your votes to be for Bernie! Or else he has no chance of beating Hillary who doesn't give a fuck about you
Brandon Smith He's definitely not a perfect candidate, but he is way better than all the rest..
For the change that the system needs, he's as perfect of a candidate as we could ask for at this point in time. It's not exaggerating to say we desperately need Bernie Sanders to win the nomination.
Brandon Smith Not really. He panders to feminist bullshit and he's ridiculously progressive.
He panders to feminist bullshit? Please explain yourself further...
And you say he's ridiculously progressive as if that's s bad thing.
Brandon Smith "It is wrong that women working full-time only earn 78 cents for every dollar a man earns. We have got to move forward and pass the Paycheck Fairness Act into law."
The 78 cents to every man's dollar myth is feminist bullshit. It has been illegal to pay women less than men for over half a century and any company actually willing to do it could get in serious trouble.
The gap is explained entirely or almost entirely by career choices and it has been debunked countless times. Signing the paycheck fairness act into law does nothing positive and only opens up the potential for frivolous lawsuits.
"And you say he's ridiculously progressive as if that's s bad thing."
It depends. Some of those people are crazy and get offended by literally everything.
I can't understand why he didn't become president.
bernie and aoc would of been amazing
Rigged primaries
Thank the swamp. Sanders was all ok until he touched the sacrosanct campaign financing.
Blame the democratic party
People were so scared of trump that they didn't want to "take a risk" with Sanders.
America felt like running Biden would be "playing it safe".
They were wrong. But that was their perspective.
My country is Democratic socialist, and it just works, but Americans would rather complain then actually elect this man

+Puglous I think that poverty line is always better when at least you can go to the hospital and be treated and when you can put your kids in school. But this only depends on which side you are and what kind of society you want to live. I don't really care about semantics and terms that have been beaten throughout history. This guy is dead honest, coherent and has proven that he is up for the task. Just look at what he has done in Vermont! This guy is a fucking treasure for the american people and you care about the word "socialism"...
+filipelouro American culture has plagued itself with guns, racism, coldwar propaganda. They're not going to look at nuance. A lot of them believe that they need guns to protect themselves from government, which has the military and tanks. Whenever they start the conversations with you're a commie, you're low info, you know who you're talking to.
+Puglous I'm sorry but that's a survey of who would agree that they're openly racist. Just a snippet of comment sections on popular conservative site. Americans will not agree that they're racists but incidentally say things that are offensive somehow. Can I call you a nuancophobe then? imgur.com/a/VNuSF
+Times Never Don't forget that the soldiers that run the tanks have loyalties deeper than loyalty to an oppressive government. They all have moms and dads and bro's. And if it comes down to an armed rebellion, soldiers will fight on the side of the anti-socialists. After all, the US military is made up mostly of right-wingers, not left-wing socialists.
+filipelouro Vermont, since you've never been there, is a northern version of West Virginia. It's a hick-state. If it wasn't for NY skiers and dairy farmers, it would be broke as hell. That's Burnie's domain.
I remember watching this interview 5 years ago. From the get-go, I knew this man was, and still is, an authentic good human being. His views are genuinely empathic and the fire he has, despite his age, is contagious. Even better when you learn the incredible history of this guy. Thank you Bernie for inspiring & empowering us young folks to become community organizers, active citizens, and voters.
those were some tough questions, lets see the other candidates attempt to answer this (please not Ted C though, his face fuckin bugs me)
Gio giii That is a great point ... none of these cardboard cutouts will get close to real questions .. .and sadly that includes Hillary. But I do think Hillary will make a great VP! ;-)
justgivemethetruth I honestly don't know whether I would vote for Bernie Sanders if he chose _Hillary Clinton_ as his VP! She's a walking agent of corporatism and the antithesis of everything that Bernie stands for!
John Doe Gotta figure that Hillary is a great support person. She was good at First Lady, she was good as Senator, and Secretary of State. I don't think she would make a good executive, or at least an independent one, but she would be great as VP. Republicans would know if Bernie dies she'd be the President. She could also do many of the things she has claimed she wanted to do but did not have the power. I think it would work great, but I get where you're coming from. You have got to realize that anyone, even Bernie, is going to be somewhat cooperative with the corporations, you have to know what battles to fight, and ultimately it is the people that have to drive Bernie, or Hillary.
justgivemethetruth An intelligent, measured response, but did you just suggest that Bernie should temper his politics for fear of being assassinated‽ "Republicans would know if Bernie dies she'd be the President." What is that supposed to mean‽ Why not choose Jill Stein?
John Doe
>> Why not choose Jill Stein?
If that is a serious question, for one thing, she has no chance to win. For another she has no political or executive experience. I like Jill Stein, I saw her debate last election cycle on Democracy Now! and I even voted for her in the primary as a protest vote, since I am in CA and I knew Obama was going to win. I think any candidate as radical as Bernie should fear assassination, but temper his politics, how should I know, it's his decision.

Ya, at a whopping 24 years old, I am good on Bernie Sanders. Sounds like the 'revolution' when Obama was running. EVERYTHING IS GONNA CHANGE GUYS!!!!!!!
Also, no citation for anything you said and calling Ronald Regan and other politicians 'Libertarian', makes me wonder how much you truly understand the meaning of the word. Here is some help, if they have a R or D next to their name, they are not probably not a Libertarian.Anyone who thinks otherwise does not have a grasp on the word, political party or the philosophy of Libertarians.I guess you have a grasp on the word slander though.
This helps, since you apparently don't know how corporate income taxes work. Did you even look at any of the companies' 10K filings for the years you cited? Of course not, that is hard work and I don't even know if you can read a balance sheet
Also, even though my family has been here for over 300 years, according to you, I am not part of the 'We The People', even though if my ancestors failed, I would not be here and you wouldn't even have this country. This is due to the fact that they would be dead and I would not exist. It's okay though, inclusiveness and 'us vs them' is a good mentality to have...... if you are trapped in a Hegelian Dialectic :)

LOL Well, calling me stupid is not the way adults have conversations, then again you show how addled your mind is with every post you make.
First off, most if not all, the people you listed are not Libertarians nor did you provide proof they are Libertarians.
Secondly do you even know how personal and corporate income taxes are calculated and did you read any of the companies annual 10-K filings? Of course not, you would have to be a grown up and not an ignorant wreck of a person to even know what a 10 K is.
Get on a treadmill, get that second chin of fat off your face, then humble your ego and actually research things, instead of copying and pasting shit off the internet and thinking are smart. Sorry Mark, maybe if you educate yourself on finance, economics and tax laws we can have an adult conversation. Until that happens you are just another kid wearing diapers in my mind :) Also, Bernie Sanders supporters are financially illiterate, something you have proved, so you should call yourself 'WE The (smart) People'. I will take a screenshot and share your post though, so everyone can see how egotistical Bernie supporters are.

Hi Jacques. True, but most European countries that tried the socialist model are failing and reverting back to more conservative ways. England is right now considering breaking from the European Union.
+The Guy Chris England is one of the least socialist countries in Europe. But even Germany, the economic powerhouse of Europe, is way more socialist than we are in the US.
Hi Theresa,
Yes, you are right about England and Germany.
You know, I have heard different version's of people's opinions of what "socialism" actually means to them.
Theresa, what is your definition of socialism?
+The Guy Chris In the context of this conversation, and European countries broadly, it's about spending priorities, i.e. the level and quality of services provided to the public, funded by their tax dollars. Does the government subsidize food, housing, health care, and education for the poor? To what extent?
Hi Theresa.
Well, Bill Clinton passed the Welfare Reform Act because too many Americans were simply abusing the welfare system. So, I am not sure where the line is where people receive money because they are truly trying, and others who are taking advantage.
Again, what is your definition of "socialism"?
I am a Canadian citizen that has moved abroad to a social democratic country, Portugal.

I’ve heard Warren, Biden & the rest say the have a plan to help struggling Americans. Have any of them sat down & give a decent explanation of how they can do that yet ?
They will take your money and (after a percentage) spread it to others less enthusiastic about labor than you.
To solve the problems America is facing today, you have to have a Bernie after a Bernie after a Bernie as presidents, and a lot of Bernies in the House and the Senate.

i have yet to find a policy of bernie sanders in which i do not agree with.
the main reason i suspect is that he has this unique quality among american politicians: common sense.
Lucian Tritt yes
Lucian Tritt the reasoning behind 15 dollar minimum wage is to allow people in the low income class the ability to not only support themselves but also support their families in a way that is comfortable and satisfactory(above poverty line). as it stands people on low income jobs are often extremely poor leading to hunger and homelessness. millions of children, in this sophisticated 1st world country, are literally starving because hard working parents are unable to support them. that should be unacceptable in the world's wealthiest country.
Lucian Tritt the goal is to raise the standard of living of all people. this is one way, not to 'benefit' this specific group, but to allow these hardworking americans lead a decent life.
and i hope you realize that any policy is for a 'specific' purpose. its the interconnections of the many policies working in tandem that allow for all people to live happily.
Lucian Tritt are you saying that people who work on the lowest level in regards to income should not lead decent lives?
Lucian Tritt im saying they should lead decent lives.
and if you disagree with the raised minimum wage id like to know ur reasoning

They just have very big welfare states. The Prime Minister of Denmark actually ask Sanders to stop calling them socialist because they arent. Capitalism makes us wealthy. Vote For Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate!
You have all been lied to, Trump is not the racist the media tells you he is. Trump and bernie have something in common, they both hate the establishment. So instead of being closed minded look into Trump more and you will find out hes not the bad guy here. I hate Fox news also.
+DD Gaming no. I don't believe trump is racist, just nationalist, but I do believe that he is a statist that stands against free trade and for big government
+Todd Howard I think Trump is a racist who is also a nationalist/ statist who stands against free trade and big government. I think there are a few economic things he has in common with Bernie but he does have a fascist disposition. If you're white I would def vote for Trump! If you're a minority, I would think about it but it's not so definite
I haven't watched this yet but my prediction is it will be one of the best interviews I've ever watched because it's Vox who actually ask important questions and explain things properly for their views and Bernie who genuinely answers the question he's asked and doesn't try to skirt around them
my prediction was pretty much right. He even brought up climate change when the interviewer didn't ask him about it! Bernie is the type of politician all countries need: truly for the people of the land
Bernie Sanders sounds more like an economics professor, rather than a politician. However, he's well-read on many issues (both global and national) that plague ordinary working class people and wishes to help establish a great society. Perhaps better yet, a better world. A liberal with common sense and that's well-informed on social factors that torment the disfranchised. He was also the only presidential nominee to address climate change. Sadly, he didn't become the runner up, it was given to Hillary Clinton. If he runs again for president again, he'll get my vote! Sanders 2020!
If I were American I'd vote for him

Jill Stein
Yes but the green party is completely retarded and honestly, even worse then Hillary. The biggest thing is, she ACTUALLY thinks she is right, Hillary knows that she is bad and crooked and acts like she isn't. Stein and the rest of the green party are actually just insane.
***** How is the green party insane?
They have a history of supporting anti-science stances, a sizable portion of their base are anti-vaxers, their vice presidential candidate claims that a large number of Sanders supporters are racist, and calls America a monstrosity. Their presidential candidate also barely has experience in a public office. Not to forget that third parties in America have no chance.
BERNIE SOLD OUT
I’m a moderate and I had so many doubts during the primary when it all came down to Biden or Bernie. I voted for Bernie, and I’m glad I did. He is an inspiration!
his ideas are so good, he would be a great president
lol
lol
the more I listen to this man the more respect I have for him. He is really sincere and consistent.
I have tremendous respect for him as a human, but his policies are awful and I really hope he's not the next POTUS on so many levels.
Bernie was great as expected. But I want to give serious props to this interviewer. So well prepared, well spoken, respectful, and humble.
He is a political manifestation of my ideas! Even trump supporters acknowledge that he would beat trump. The fact he is extremely populist. The fact that he doesn't have any super PAC's shows that he is extremely serious about these issues and not just flip flopping around like Hilary
9:37 he shouts out the culinary union that the media tried to depict him as an enemy of 4.5 years later
Yup. That made my stomach turn
Thanks for this interview; I just made up my mind who I'm voting for. Bernie is right in line with all my priorities for this country being for The People, not The Corporations
We can do this together! VOTE!!!
Hi Rose. Bernie's main speech phrase is "income inequality". How is it that income has become unequal? What does Bernie propose to do about it? He never goes into depth.
Go to his website to see a full, detailed description of his plan.
Hi Rose.
I have listened to several of Bernie's speeches and he never gets into the causes of wealth inequality, or what specifically he plans to do about it. Please tell me.
Hello. Like I said, you can look at his website and his plan is well detailed. I won't write a long piece here just for you. If you're not interested in actually finding out about the candidates and doing your homework, it´s not my problem. I already have and I made up my mind. Plus it's Saturday, I will enjoy the weekend. Bye :-)
Hi Rose.
Well, believe it or not, I am fully aware of google and all the wonderment it affords, links to websites, and all. Amazing stuff there.
But I am interested in what YOU can enlighten me with in respect to my question to you?
I want to talk to real people about important issues. Call me crazy.
I can't believe we didn't elect him.
Shahaan Saleem I live in Florida the amount of fear mongering that went on because of his “democratic socialist” title was insane. If i gave my opinion on him, that was remotely positive, I had been brainwashed by liberal professors.
#HindsightIs2020
Shahaan Saleem I can't believe you guys didn't elect him, well spoken en he has vision. At the same time I think he wouldn't have accomplished much. The political culture in America is all about money and corporations. You either need a revolution or a leader with little integrity that's willing to bend all the rules, but has vision like Bernie does.
Trump is only halfway there.
That's funny
@ALex Turner Your liberal professors gave us Trump.
When he talked of climate change, my heart skipped a beat. He needs to win
Climate hoaxers are wrong about the future,
higher CO2 greens the planet.
@@cartayatama You'll see.
@@koerttijdens1234 you mean how nature is destroyed by heatwaves? Have you seen those bleached coral reefs?
@@obinator9065 Ah yes, the coral reefs destroyed, and the whales gong extinct, ot the Arctic melting, gotta be a believer what they write, doesn t care if its really true and coincidentley you cant control these 3 things yourself the whales or the coral, gotta be a believer from stories.
Actually, insulin was invented in Canada and the patent was sold for $1. Penicillin was invented in England. We're not exactly the top of the top innovators of life saving drugs. It's not like Americans are the leading drug manufacturers, either. The large majority of prescription drugs we have here in the US, as Bernie said, are generic pharmaceuticals. Over 75% are produced in China and India and sold here in the States at astronomically inflated prices. That's disgusting.
Amazing interview! Well done VOX. I have so much respect for this man now. America NEEDS him to win in 2020.
It'll be an honor, a privilege and a pleasure to call this man «Mr President».
Just think of all the young women and men he'll inspire to get into politics, to make this country a better place to live.
I'm in.
Love how right off the bat, Bernie sets it straight that he's a democratic socialist.
Listen, I don't support Bernie Sanders, but he is far and away the most consistent, honest, and good-willed man (or woman, for that matter), in politics.
Yeah
Yeah
Yes
Yes
