★ About Bernie:
Bernie Sanders is a Democratic candidate for President of the United States. He is serving his second term in the U.S. Senate after winning re-election in 2012 with 71 percent of the vote. Sanders previously served as mayor of Vermont’s largest city for eight years before defeating an incumbent Republican to be the sole congressperson for the state in the U.S. House of Representatives. He lives in Burlington, Vermont with his wife Jane and has four children and seven grandchildren.
Bernard “Bernie” Sanders was born in Brooklyn, New York, to immigrant parents and grew up in a small, rent-controlled apartment. His father came to the United States from Poland at the age of 17 without much money or a formal education. While attending the University of Chicago, a 20-year-old Sanders led students in a multi-week sit-in to oppose segregation in off-campus housing owned by the university as a Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) officer. In August of 1963, Sanders took an overnight bus as an organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee to hear Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech firsthand at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
After graduation, Bernie moved to Vermont where he worked as a carpenter and documentary filmmaker. In 1981, he was elected as mayor of Burlington as an Independent by a mere 10 votes, shocking the city’s political establishment by defeating a six-term, local machine mayor. In 1983, Bernie was re-elected by a 21 point margin with a record amount of voter turnout. Under his administration, the city made major strides in affordable housing, progressive taxation, environmental protection, child care, women’s rights, youth programs and the arts. In 1990, Sanders was elected to the House of Representatives as the first Independent in 40 years and joined the Democratic caucus. He was re-elected for eight terms, during which he voted against the deregulation of Wall Street, the Patriot Act, and the invasion of Iraq.
In 2006, Sanders defeated the richest man in Vermont to win a seat in the U.S. Senate as an Independent. Known as a “practical and successful legislator,” Sanders served as chairman of the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs where he authored and passed the most significant veteran health care reform bill in recent history. While in the Senate, Sanders has fought tirelessly for working class Americans against the influence of big money in politics. In 2010, he gave an eight-and-a-half hour filibuster-like speech on the Senate floor in opposition to extending Bush-era tax breaks for the wealthy. In 2015, the Democratic leadership tapped Bernie to serve as the caucus’ ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee.
Known for his consistency on the issues, Senator Sanders has supported the working class, women, communities of color, and the LGBT community throughout his career. He is an advocate for the environment, unions, and immigrants. He voted against Keystone XL, opposes the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, wants to expand the Voting Rights Act, and pass the Equal Rights Amendment.

goal will make Bernie our next president!
We all know the system is rigged against us.
But, this does not mean we can't win! It just
means we have to work harder. Keep shattering

#NotMeUs #TakeNYbyPhone #NewYork
I am practically fried to my laptop for this whole election and I'm from the Netherlands.
+streglof The stress is not good for my health. I know my stress levels will be too high tomorrow night. Man I want to win NY SO fucking badly
+streglof I'm not that bad, but I am rather nervous about the NY primary tomorrow, and I'ma Dane. It does feel a bit unfair, doesn't it? That we have to watch from afar an election that would affect all of us.
+streglof I've following closer this election that any election that ever happened in my country (Portugal), almost until the point of despair. We need Bernie to lead the US, because he will be eventually leading us.
This man, Bernie Sanders, will NEVER hold a formal title in my heart. He will only and always be, to me, the Yuman Being Bernard Sanders. This is not out of disrepute in any form of course, rather in contrast, out of absolute respect for he is better than any common term thrown around in government etc. He is one of us, the little guy/gal standing up to 'the man', he knows true Yumanity. My heart goes out to all who hear such words and find them wise.
This is what a honest politician looks like people. Join the revolution!!! We can make the impossible possible
the African American communities truly need safe supportive & secure public housing as they are entirely depended on the American system for competitive value they do not have the market advantage of association with another nation state they are true stateless people they are pure Americans and only Americans
they are nothing other then Americans of America
and this person is there champion.
and mine too
New York, with humanity's future at sake tomorrow I say to you this: DO. NOT. FUCK. THIS. UP!!!!!!!!
0:47 Is that Ben Carson?
Hahaha, his voice is the same xD
+LoganZombieOfTime I though the same, so strange.
+LoganZombieOfTime I thought so, too, but I didn't know it was his birthday. xD
+LoganZombieOfTime Nope lol but they sound the same! haha
MY MAIN MAN BERNIE LEEEZ GOOOO
I will vote for this man not because I agree with all of his positions but because in videos like this, his attention to the truth is so blatantly clear and his seriousness of concern so deep and genuine, I know that he and Dr. Jane Sanders will surround themselves with the most genuine team of people to address the truth of our most vulnerable realities and never pander to fantasy. His presidency will change our nation in ways we can't even begin to imagine by empowering us as our cultural conscience has become so apathetic it's pandemic and we need this or we may succumb beyond the point where recovery is manageable.
The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with a Bernie Sanders' voter.
How can any one dislike this video?! Ohh wait.. zero dislikes, okay :^)
+Franklin Gomez 2 people disliked it. I'm guessing the Koch Brothers.
+John Muir (oftheEast) or Hillary and Bill!
A country can not move on when "Some" vast swath of People are left behind.
Bernie shouldn't say anything about income inequality when he owns three houses. He's part of the reason income inequality exists in the first place.
Eric Adams in the video. Apparently he voted for Bernie Sanders too in the 2016 primary.
finally a breakthrough. I think they realize what Bernie is about now. Finally. Maybe its not late.
Dude that guy at 0:46 sounded like Ben Carson for like 3 seconds.
00:46 BEN CARSON IS BACK
+Jorge Garcia Somehow really educated on the issues.
Sadly Hillary received 74% of the vote in Brownsville. So glad she stopped by and earned that vote.
IMPROVE THE NEW YORK HOMELESS SHELTERS NOW!
and people try to call him racist smh
he actually cares. never happens these days.
The American Civil War started, but it never ended.
See how he lit up when they said there's no nearby emergency room? that's how someone's dad would react if his kid lived there.
Sanders 16
the deep south really made this race hard for bernie
Gentrification yay!
