God bless the people of Vermont for electing Bernie Sanders to the Senate.
If only he would have been voted into (presidential-) office in 2016... What a different world we would have today... I think we would have a lot less polarisation to deal with...
💯
@@jazzdirt I didn't know enough about him in 2016, but by 2020, I really wish he was a choice. After how students were attracted this week, and hearing his speech vs biden's speech about it, I so wish I can vote for him this year
Bernie sounds and looks the same as he did 40 years ago. He has held steadfast to a message and platform that is actually formed by what is good for the nation as a whole. Older than the current and former President and still sharper than both of them combined
💯🇺🇸
Normally this'd be a bad thing, but to our delight, Bernie was also correct about everything 40 years ago. Every screw-up America has made in the last 40 years, Bernie is on video speaking up against it.
Bernie is still the greatest.
Thank you for all that you have done for the people and speaking truth, Bernie. I take to heart what you have said: Despair is not an option. Needed to hear that. 🙏
Sen Bernie, you are my hero!
Bernie Sanders just stands out among US politicians. I can't think of a parallel.
RFK
💯
RFK Jr.
Both are hated and maligned by the establishment because both are for the people, not the elites and their corporations.
KENNEDY is the candidate Bernie should be backing and he would make a wonderful addition to the Kennedy administration.
Biden failed to give Bernie any power. Think about that.
bernie i would love the book, but im not giving 12 dollars or any amount to act blue, i would give it to you, or the animal shelter, ya know judge judy said she would vote for a frog before trump, and im disappointed that you and more people in power, on either side of the aisle are not backing rfk jr and instead picking the duopoly and party allegiance instead of by merit, or what is right and what is wrong, regardless of affiliation, you are the ONLY person, at the WH correspondence dinner that got unanimous applause and off script, besides the challenges of running as an independent in anything 🇺🇸 and i also really enjoyed your talk at harvard - kennedy ☕😷 hopefully they will listen.... $$$ 😑
@@preshisify I completely agree. I backed Bernie in 2016 and 2020 and RFK JR is absolutely the candidate Bernie should be backing this time around.
Hopefully Bernie will stop drinking the blue Kool-Aid and stop serving it to his followers. There is too much at stake to pass up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to beat the duopoly. KENNEDY 2024
Note: my other comment support RFK Jr was removed by Rood Toob or the channel. Please let me know if you see this one.
Mainstream media has fallen short, and has pushed expectations about materialism to it's own peril... Thank you, Bernie.
Corporate owned media looks out for the corporate terrorists interests exclusively.
I love listening to Bernie, getting my education. :)
There is a lot to be proud of. If we can embrace progressive values like true democracy, we can transform this country.
That is why I am voting for RFK Jr.
Jill Stein (Green Party) perhaps? I like her. However, I worry about third party voting that results in tRump. I voted third party before, and we ended up with him... 😩
And it's always good to hear words from this intelligent man
In the UK, the Health and Social Care Act 2012 removed legal responsibility for providing health care from the government, a founding principle of the NHS.
Which is a reminder that even once you've got it, you need to keep fighting for it. There is no ultimate victory, or defeat.
I saw Bernie at Temple University in Phila. PA during the 2016 campaign--the line was several hours long to get in, and I ended up in an overflow hall that also filled, and Bernie came to talk to us first in McGonigle Hall before he went to the big arena in the Liacouras Center. People loved Bernie. That same year, Hillary came and less than a hundred people wanted to see her, so she ended up in a nice small building, Mitten Hall. No one that I knew wanted to go. It was almost like nothing happened. We were robbed by the DNC, and then the DNC's "favorite" won the primaries, and then Hillary lost to Trump. The DNC is making the same mistakes again, not caring what the people in the Democratic party want and need. They are just telling us things like inflation isn't as bad as it used to be, and Trump is terrible (so you have no choice, again).
I live in Australia so I have an outsider''s perspective. Politicians here talk about policy during campaigns. That means they say what they want to achieve and also how they will do it and fund their policies. I have been following this US election cycle with interest because Trump would be a disaster for the whole free, democratic world. I have heard more insults come out of his mouth than anything at all substantial. He is just so full of bullshit and misinformation.
I supported Bernie in 2016 and 2020 and agree with you that the DNC rigged the primaries both times. They did it again this time to RFK Jr by passing over 60 new rules to make it impossible for him to get the nomination. One of the rules was if he set foot in a primary state to campaign, any votes he got would automatically be awarded to Biden. So much for "democracy". The DNC and RNC are both corrupt private corporations with absolutely no duty to the public.
Kennedy made the gut-wrenching decision to leave the party of his father and uncle and run independent and I respect his courage.
He has been fighting for the public good for over 40 years and they all thought he was great until he decided to challenge their donor base and run for president. Then he suddenly became an anti-"v"er, a conspira- cee theorist, a GOP plant, a vote splitter and every other smear they could think of. The Dems accuse him of being a right winger and the Repubs accuse him of being a leftist.
Biden has denied RFK Jr's request for Secret Service protection FIVE times, despite documented death threats and his family history. It is the first time in the history of the Secret Service that protection has been denied a presidential candidate. Even Nikki Haley got it.
The truth is that RFK Jr. is the true traditional Dem, cut from the same cloth as his father and uncle and he wants to restore this country to the values of FDR, JFK, and RFK Sr. The DNC abandoned those values decades ago and turned their backs on the working class.
I will not vote for them again. They have exposed their own corruption and once you see it you can't un-see it.
We need to break the duopoly and take back control of our government. RFK Jr is our once-in-a-lifetime chance to do that. I'm tired of voting out of fear against the worse of the two evils. I am going to vote FOR the best candidate of my adult life.
"and then Hillary lost to Trump."
She still got two million more votes than Trump, which tells you how popular Trump is.
@@johnnolang3734glad to see a fellow Aussie here. I share the opinion that Australians should pay attention to US politics, since as part of the US alliance system, we must be attentive to activity within the imperial core.
Bernie seems like one of the only sensible politicians in the entire country, and I'm sad that he fell so short in 2016 and 2020. It seems like no matter whether the US gets Trump or Biden, their foreign policy is set on a negative course - supporting Israel, antagonizing the global south, pressuring our Southeast Asian neighbours - and in the long run, both parties seem set on war with China.
I feel we as Australians must either push the US onto a better course, or escape and hope we don't get caught in the blast zone when everything falls apart.
All my love & respect is for Mr. Sanders ❤🙏 God bless you
Hello Mr Senator Bernie Sanders!💙🤍❤🗽🦅💯
Bernie, You are still the best! 🏆🙏👍🏽💕🥰🇺🇸🗽
You are correct, Bernie.
Bernie. 💙
Thank you Bernie
Just gave on your site & can't wait to read your book! Thank you for speaking up! ❤
Well said Bernie
Together we stand divided we fall❤ that's all you need to know Bernie and Biden for the win❤
Biden is one half of the problem with regard to division. We need UNITY across the country. The only candidate offering to unite all of We The People is RFK Jr.
Thank you Bernie!
It is good to look at what we can change for the better. Why so many people are against basic, good faith, advancement, and seem to be pro stagnation, I will never know. ❤ 🙏
I wholeheartedly agree. The two-parties are guilty of that stagnation and lack of good faith because they both represent the elites. That is why I support RFK Jr. He is the candidate Bernie should be backing.
Hopelessness
The power elite fear what they can't control, they fear innovative change.
@dao8805 RFK Jr. Is a pile of problems. I believe that any sincere, good faith, deep dive into his history, and his current stances on important issues would lead most people to believe otherwise.
The Majority Report itself has been host to more than a few discussions on the topic as well. #leftisbest

Out of curiosity, how many countries tax the crap out of their citizens so they can send money to the United States?
United states isnt anything special in terms of for example aiding Ukraine.... Western democratic European countries generally have helped as much relative to their GDP or more.
So yes these countries tax their citizens more fairly and invest it in social programs (universal healthcare, free tuition, robust welfare etc.), which people appreciate, and as well participate in international efforts like Ukraine´s war effort against invading despot.
How many countries download the tax burden from the 1% to the 99% and succeed?
@Semper_Iratus
The US also ain't at war with a major global power, and not only that but has one of the largest GDPs on the planet. If I'm understanding the point of your comment correctly, you're comparing apples to oranges. If I'm misunderstanding, though, please correct me!
So none is the correct answer. 😊
@@Semper_Iratus Hyperbole and idiocy is off the scale. Its not your fault that your parents are each others brother and sister.

Do people highly educated in thermodynamic physics know of a higher consideration of nature that overrides accepting that diodes can rectify Johnson - Nyquest thermal noise power and, given the orderliness of consistent orientation in parallel, aggregate a DC residue from each diode into electrical power at any scale coproduced with refrigeration of equivalent thermal energy absorbtion?
Fantastic episode. Yes, education, healthcare, and child care are doing well in Scandinavian countries. It's deeply disturbing our leadership fails to accept that these things can be accomplished here if only we tax the wealthy and reduce some military spending. I want our military people to have the best, but defense contractors are sucking us dry like the pharmaceutical companies. Let's get corporate money out of lawmakers pockets , so they work for the people that elected them. Let's have free healthcare for all and put pharmaceutical companies in their place. Free higher education means citizens can get better jobs, can be better informed to participate in the political process, etc. so many countries are doing it better ,so why can't we try other programs working in other countries; we're Americans and we can do it better if we try. Climate change doesn't mean people lose jobs; it means new jobs, better pay and free training and a planet safe for our children and grandchildren.
Thank you for spreading the vision for a better tomorrow Bernie 💙

Admas ahora los que dicen que es insostenible eñ sistema público de pensiones, cuando los bancos ganan mas de lo que se incierte en sanidad y pensiones junto.
Que no nos tomen por tontos.
Fin a la especulación que juega con los derechos universales. Educación, sanidad, pensiones...
Se acabó,. estamos en el tiempo de los hechos y la humanidad.
Fin.
Oooooffff, this is an awkward listen as a Finn with our new incredibly right-wing government, wish Andersson was still the Minister of Education(she's almost definitely making it to the EU parliament later this year though), things are about to get rough in this country
When you add up all the taxes we have to pay we shell out somewhere around 67% of our money to them. You have income tax. Sales tax, transportation tax. Taxes we don't see be beause they are folded into the price we pay, land tax and even renters pay that because it is put into the rent they pay. Sin tax. We are taxed heavily and we get little in return. But we do pay enough for endless wars and the occasional missplacement of a pallet of one billion dollars and seemingly no actual concern that they lost it.
The corporations thank you for your endless corporate welfare contribution. This is what happens when activist GOP judges allow corporations to buy/lobby politicians
Sanders President
Like Bernie said he is mainstream in other countries and if we go back to the 60s and 70s he wouldn't seem radical. In fact if Nixon were in today's politics he would be branded as a liberal and back then no one thought he was.
End Citizens United and raise the federal corporate income tax #TaxTheRich
That's dumb, if anything you should be decreasing it... A lot of liberals and lefties even think so (like me) corporate taxes are inefficient and ineffective, they have negative externalities and only have a few benefits, corporate tax should be 0-15% and small businesses & startups should be exempt until their revenue reaches a cut off point.
I would raise the RCGT, LVT, CAT, change the sales tax for a VAT at 25% and decrease the low income bracket tax rate, decrease import duties, enact an open border with Canada, etc.
The federal corporate tax rate in the United States is 21%, and it applies to a corporation's profits. The taxes are paid on a company's taxable income, which includes revenue minus expenses. #TaxTheRich or #EatTheRich
@@Betweoxwitegan no corporate tax rate should be harmonized among western nations and +20 percent with no loopholes is the ideal target.
No leftie thinks corporate taxes are inefficient... No mainstream economist thinks so either. your comment sounds like astroturfing.
@@BridgeTROLL777 That's not true at all, I actually think most economists would agree with me, both on the right and left. I am on the left and so obviously there's some of us who think corporate taxes are inefficient. Most countries don't derive a lot of tax revenue from corporate taxes, they derived it from income and VAT predominantly. A substantial portion of corporate taxes are externalised onto the consumer, it costs a lot to regulate and administrate it, it disincentivizes entrepreneurship and is really quite ineffective overall, like I stated previously it doesn't derive a substantial amount of tax revenue and it has many negative externalities.
@@Betweoxwitegan you are absolutely incorrect. Most mainstream economist disagree with you... What you are talking about is usually promoted by heterodox economists (libertarians) Austrian and Chicago school.
Vat is regressive tax and should be moderate. Instead there should be much more steeper progressive tax in the US like in wealthy European countries.
Corporate tax is one of the most important part of governments tax revenue.....
Thats why the EU is trying to harmonize corporate tax among member states at around 20%, to prevent unfair competitive advantage and free riding (Ireland with their low corporate tax rate)
The price elasticity of corporate tax shows that its not passed mostly on customers. Competition and price sensitivity of customers keep this in check.
There is hardly negative externalities with corporate tax. I know you will say "its double taxation, etc" and other nonsense. It does not disrupt incentives, its efficient, it is massive tax revenue source.
The US is notorious for its (intended) loop holes and legal tax evasion, which is a symptom of legalized bribery and corruption. Apple hardly pays the full corporate tax rate.
You promote very right wing economic policies, and im convinced you are just astroturfing.
Bernie is looking very presidential these days. I don't know anyone who is going to vote for the R or D candidate.
I still wish you were our President. We all know why you weren't allowed to be President, they're terrified of you.
Just like they are terrified of RFJ Jr. now.
@@dao8805rfk jr is a rich man and a crank. Bernie Sanders is a tireless advocate for the working class. They are not the same
@@coderamen666 I supported Bernie in 2016 and 2020 and saw how the DNC cheated him out of the nomination in spite of the fact that he was the one who was polling the strongest against Trump. Haven't you ever wondered why they did that?
It's because the DNC would rather risk us getting stuck with Trump than ever letting us have a candidate who will serve the people instead of their corporate donors. It is the same reason they forced RFK Jr out of the Dem party by passing over 60 new rules to make it impossible for him to get the nomination, including awarding any votes he got in a primary state where he campaigned in person to Biden. That is NOT democracy. It is corruption.
Both Bernie and RFK Jr are threats to the establishment. Bernie got in line and is selling blue Kool-Aid so they have backed off of him.
RFK Jr didn't get in line so they are smearing him with vicious lies, labels and distortions that are all patently untrue. Don't believe the msm; they take his words out of context and spin them to mean the opposite of what he says .
Hear him out in his own words, UNEDITIED, on independent media to see who he really is. You have absolutely nothing to loose.
Can we get laws past about what makes a cult? like human sacrifice,pedophilia,indoctrination, not telling people what religion you are.murders for the church. engendered indoctrination and life binding contracts. and having a hate list of people. or your own police force to enforce codes.

How not to vote trumpists
?? On April 4th I made a donation to ACT-Blue for over $12.00, when am I likely to receive a copy of the book?
Louis DeJoy USPS
@@user-wt5bf4rw7e that could be a factor. That said, Biden made his appointment recommendations to the Board of Directors & we all seriously need to get on to Chuck Schumer to get off his behind, get them finalized, and get DeJoy the HECK OUT OF USPS! HE SERIOUSLY tampered with the mail in Florida the past election and I'm already beginning to hear accounts of people having mail problems. I placed and Amazon order a few weeks ago and never have problems when it comes from the Amazon or UPS truck, but the one set to come USPS was entered into the system, track a few days, then NOTHING. Fortunately Amazon guarantees all their stuff, but if that's what's happening to some of Senator Sanders books, that could seriously hurt the campaign. My gosh I hope the people who usually vote by mail plan to vote IN PERSON with all the GOP hanky panky and all the damage DeJoy's done to USPS.
Make sure you go through your emails and click the link they send you to confirm the address where to book ships too. Sorry I can't be more specific where it comes from, but after not getting my book and digging for the confirmation in my email, THEN I stumbled on this thing, so even if DeJoy is up to no good at the USPS, It was a long time before I ever confirmed with them where to ship it.
What can we learn about the millions of people who perished under socialism?
Similar to those who perished under Zionism. Bernard legitimises both.
@@autismalkv Straight up.
A lot actually, central planning is ineffective and mismanaged, the bourgeois dictatorship overpowers the proletariat when they try to form a dictatorship and this ends in an state anarcho capitalist totalitarian dictatorship, democratic involvement is paramount, etc, etc.

Vote to make Bernie Sanders president of US now. The US government is a disaster now.
RFK Jr is much more aligned with Bernie on this than Biden is.
Nope, not even close. RFK is a village idiot like Trump....
RFK Jr is what is known as a Ratfkr. I'm old enough to know what that is. Others can google it, but essentially it's a right-winger playing politics in unethical and deceptive ways, including pretending to be something they're not. It's sad all the people he successfully suckers. A lot of people who trust him are in for some very rude awakenings if he actually successfully pulls off getting people to vote for him vs. Biden.
Bernie needs to get on the Green Party ticket with Jill Stein. Bernie / Jill 2024. The USA needs Bernie now more than ever!!!
no, for what? taking away votes from Biden? because you do realize that Jill / Sanders would not make it to POTUS, right? the task atm is to get Biden reelected and keeping Trump out of the White House.
If I could name a POTUS, I'd vote for Mr. Sanders, Judge Carlos Moore or other people who are not on the list of nominees. so, dear Sir, you might want to rethink your statement because if Trump gets elected, it's over.
@@gaiaakatheearth5604 How is the USA doing right now under biden's tutelage? If biden or trump win, it's over. Many 3rd party voters would stay home rather than vote for biden. biden is losing his votes, not me.
Stein is Trump in drag. She hurt Sanders in the Primaries against Hillary and she threw the election to Trump. There's nothing authentic, nor green about her. Her MANSION doesn't have Solar, so of course she has no solar powered car (and being RICH, unlike a lot of others, she can more than afford it). Again, she had the chance to HELP Sanders, instead the spoiled malignant narcissist had the opportunity of a lifetime to help us help Sanders, but Jill was all about Jill, and let's not forget her flights to party in Russia with the other Elitists. How can she con ANYONE when she is the very thing keeping "We the People" down? One way you learn to tell the real deal from the fake is direct action...but with some people, you don't need a particularly good radar with this one...she's exactly like all the other wealthy people who want everything to be about THEM so she buys the party. BTW, that's a lesson people need to learn FAST when they finally wake up and realize they are the ones who need to get in there and save themselves...When you're ACTIVE...you'll see all kinds of egomaniac trying to hijack groups and having little hissy fits when they don't get THEIR way because they're dealing with actual activist who can spot these people a mile away. Stein: TRUMP IN DRAG! Including her adoration & ENVY of Authoritarians like Putin.
I’m from Ireland & I love Bernie but over here a politician exactly like Bernie is normal. He’s not “far left” or “progressive”… only in America can this be so. I truly believe people in the US haven’t a clue what communism & socialism actually is. Politicians fire out these buzzwords about their competitors all the time when they are not even close to being any of those things. I laugh when I see your politicians do this. I also think it’s scandalous that people can go bankrupt because one of their family members become sick. How bad is this?!! The US is the richest nation in the world but it doesn’t treat their citizens as if they are. These are just things I’ve come to notice over years. It isn’t good! These things wouldn’t happen here. That’s one reason why Bernie is normal to us.
