Bernie Sanders is the senior United States senator for Vermont and the longest serving Independent in US congressional history. A self-described 'democratic socialist'. Sanders contested the Democratic Party presidential nomination in 2016 and 2020. Senator Sanders' new book, It's OK To Be Angry About Capitalism, came out in February 2023 and we were delighted to welcome Senator Sanders back to the Union to discuss his book and his vision for the future.
ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
The single most important American statesman of the moment.
He is typical for a congressman who receives funds from abroad so he can say how bad it is inside the USA.
Thank you for inviting Senator Bernie Sanders to speak. He is an outstanding gentleman who has never, in all his years, ever wavered from his principles and commitment to the people of the United States. Bravo Bernie!
Well said!
I still think he should have won the Presidency a few years back. Getting ready to read his new book! Go Bernie!
Bernie/AOC or Marianne Williamson 2024!! Third time's a charm, Senator Sanders!
Cause he hasn't done any thing. Now he's old
@@nikitaw1982 you’re ridiculous.
If all politicians had Bernie values, America would be a better place. He always stands up for the downtrodden and the poor. Humility matters.
Brilliant and incredibly frightening. He explains what is going on better than anyone I have ever listened to.
His book: "It's okay to be angry about capitalism." 🤣🤣ROFLMAO Says the bourgeois capitalist and pseudo-socialist who USED CAPITALISM to peddle his own book and make millions of dollars in the process. YES, HE IS A MILLIONAIRE. Whats funnier is that he refuses to hand over 60% or 70% (or more) of his earnings to the IRS (in taxes) voluntarily. I say this because this fraud belches out his anger about the rich not paying their "fair share" of taxes, WHICH HE REFUSES TO DO AS A MILLIONAIRE. In sum, comrade Marx would be turning over his grave if he had to hear this charlatan millionaire talk about socialism. He's a fraud....just another capitalist who markets himself as a socialist because he found a niche market for his book sales to the ultra-gullible.

God bless Bernie.
Average CEO makes 400 TIMES the amount as the average worker. That means that in one week, the CEO is making 7.5 years worth of the worker's wages. There is no amount of work that CEO can do to justify such an exorbitant amount of money. This is a crime against humanity
I’m pretty sure that if u made the minimum wage, every hour you were alive, assuming you didn’t sleep or eat, you could not make Jeff bezos’s wealth for the entirety of human existence as a species. Every single hour, hundreds of the thousands of years, wooly mammoths and Egyptians and actual living fossils and Jeff bezos has more
Very true. And, thank you for your post, which helps assist Sen. Sanders in exposing it! #NotMeUs

What an applause ! From the same group of people that will become the very same people he has fought against all his life .
What makes you say that? He’s high up in politics, Oxford students likely becoming successful doesn’t automatically make them the antithesis of him… he himself is pretty successful
@k I will tell you what makes me say this ! A third of the present cabinet is privately educated and 57% went to Oxbridge ,and consecutive cabinets over the last 100yrs have repeated this trend .So taking a completely wild guess I think this trend will continue. Have you seen the people that run the country? Both in politics ,media and industry! Statistics, facts and reality make me say this .

@@natmeyy7590 Present cabinet aka people who matriculated 20/30/40+ years ago… Have a look at current oxford demographics
@k yes I've taken a look ,and have found the offspring of the demographic you've mentioned.
Bernie spots on so many key issues in America. I work in a healthcare consulting company in corporate finance. The company belongs to one of the largest hospital networks in the States, ironically, I cannot afford to see doctors just for regular checkout because of the high deductibles. Three things happened, 1. my original employer was bought by a corporation and merged with other subsidiaries. 2. After the merge, employee benefit significantly reduced, all subsidiaries' employees reported the same. 3. The corp moved it's tax filing and payroll to a state with no state tax, even though all employees are remote working located to many states.
It's a degrading to live in this reality, that I have a master degree, and working on my doctoral degree, have a moderate income but basic needs are not met. And the fact that I'm an immigrant, have a conservative mindset on spending but still cannot afford basic needs makes it even worse.
I'll likely be dead soon as I cannot afford to pay for medical care. Just above the income level for Medi-Cal and all the insurance plans where I live are really bad and really pricey and have a lot of legal loopholes. That's America today, corporate greed has destroyed the country.
It has nothing to do with being Republican or Democrat but everything to do with greed. Alas, until there is a politician with balls to take on the large corporations, utility companies and definitely the tech companies and to reine them in, sadly it can only get worse. As for Mr Sanders bla, bla, bla is only there pushing his own agenda …… his book.
the irony of speaking to a crowd of people being bred to uphold the very system we are trying to take down. i hope his speech made it through to at least one person in that room.
You're exactly right. I understand your comment & appreciate it.
An astounding, but underappreciated individual. I truly wish that his observations can affect changes in the economic, political and other sectors of the USA, and other countries around the world, but he doesn't have the power about which he speaks. So, it's up to the individuals to take heed of his warnings and act NOW to bring about the changes he references.
I don’t know why, but I feel a strong connection with Bernie Sanders even though I’m from India. None of the Indian politicians inspire me like he does. He seems like a kind grandfather who would protect his grandchildren from any harm.....😊I can’t forget the moment when a bird landed on the podium while Bernie was speaking during his presidential campaign. It showed how kind our 'birdie' really is!!🐦
Sanders is the king of the frauds.
He’s very good at inspiring, not so good at actually doing what he says. He is a fraud. A good one, but a fraud nonetheless. Do yourself a favour and do some more research.
The guy is a joke, never actually did anything to benefit the people. All talk, no substance.
@@antoniorsoftware name a politician that's done something and it hasn't benefited them alone, I'll wait for you to find one you've voted for.
@@carbonbomb4774 This video is about Bernie Sanders, I will not change the subject. He is a sellout, talks against top 1%, then works for them the first chance he gets.

he is about the same age as Biden, but so much more mentally 'eloquent'
The Senator is verbally "eloquent" but mentally adroit to a degree unmatched by any politician in the pan-politics of the English-speaking world.

@@gwarlowBernie Sanders has 50 years of being in politics enough time to polish the turd he is.

The Senator is a magnificent communicator, an orator unequalled in the pan-politics of the English-speaking world who is able to marshal, identify and convey his thoughts on what's really happening better than anyone I have ever listened to in more than a half-century of being politically aware.
LOLOLOL. seriously, i'm laughing at you. all you leftists do is 1) learn nothing about the real world; 2) extol the lies of those with whom you agree.
I reside in the US and voted for him in 2016 & 2020 for President, then wrote his name on the ballot after he lost in the primaries.
Which was stupid. How many people did that, or didn't vote because it wasn't Sanders. Yeah Clinton sucks but at least she's not Trump. Those were the votes that would've kept Trump out of the white house.
@@jesselioce the point being next time they want to be elected put in the person who the people want and is the correct person for the job or you will never get in power, the Labour Party in the uk is still trying to learn this lesson and are about to screw it up again. Things unfortunately are going to have to become horrendously worse before anything is really going to change,but change will come
@@celticmugwump except the people did vote in the democratic primaries and they voted for Clinton. It's a completely different system than the ones we are used to in Europe. Unfortunately atm the progressive wing at the dems and the voters they represent aren't that big and because they are "socialists" many ignorant swing voters would not vote for them. They are however big enough to be king makers. In this case Trump became the kind. Imo, never gonna happen tho, both the dems and the gop need to split up so their different factions become parties on their own. Abolish the electoral college and have actual democratic elections. Create a majority by forming coalitions. And the person with the most votes behind his name gets to be president. It's obvious the current system is outdated, undemocratic and doesn't work anymore. The government can't do shit because they don't have a majority. How those that make any sense? Every term there's a shutdown.
The man who should be president.
But the only voters he can assemble are the nuts who support Hamas.
Yes. AND...into his second term!
The hopelessness he talks about is true...Many factories years ago closed in the U.S and moved to Mexico, the individuals who lost those jobs couldn't be put through retraining as it was given away in tax cuts, so they then went into jobs like call center work, until those call centers were moved from states like Indiana to India. Those individuals are then working for America's largest employer - Walmart. It's no wonder those workers are pissed off as wall st gets bailed out while their living standards get worse.
Many thanks for inviting Bernie,people love ❤️ him .
Young people will turn this polital chaps around. Listen up, people. Speak up and speak out. Call out the injustices and power mongers. Stand up for your humanity and your brothers and sisters
Together, we can make each other safe and thrive. Bernie, you always give me hope for the future
God bless
The most honest politician in America.
You mean
The Only!
Look what we /New Labour did to Corbyn, our own only honest politician.

One of the most honest social democrats.
Others are Willy Brandt.
If you mean honestly useless, then I wholeheartedly agree.
Strange that Mr. Saunders is speaking at Oxford Uni when I would think maybe 2 of those students can relate to any of the poverty that Mr. Saunders is referencing. I would think the majority of the students in the audience are from wealthy families. Those students are not likely to have student debt when they graduate and a very good chance they will walk into a corporate job and become part of the class that Mr. Saunders is speaking against.
85 million uninsured- spending twice as much. Amazing. My grandmother spent her life in a wheelchair & always credited good insurance w/why she was able to live the life she wanted.
Our beloved Bernie Sanders. A pleasure listening to you. Much love and respect...
The people who should be in power are never in power but if they were, this world would be so much greater...
Oh Bernie is just so in touch with the youth and their aspirations, always has been.
Sanders is the king of the frauds.
You have no idea who Bernie is. Anyone can write (have written for them) great speeches. Look at his list of actual accomplishments… it’s a very short list.
@@gwarlow Yes because unlike most power-and-press-hungry-politicians Bernie doesn’t care who gets the credit for bills that he helps get through with tireless and dogged determination!

I remember my fellow classmates being adamant in 1999… software should be free. I thought of it in terms of art/creation, but on some level I still agree with their case in terms of capitalistic societal investment/returns. Advances in society should benefit everyone!
Well, if software must benefit everyone, it must be free.
Otherwise, many will not be able to afford the software price. Which means only a few will have it.
Thankyou soo much Oxford great initiative ❣️
Bernie is spot on with his analysis! I worked in a non union engineering company in S. Carolina from 2005/06 and it was the worst working environment I have ever experienced! People were fired at the drop of a hat and the management did not allow descent of any kind. If you even mentioned the word, union, you were at risk of instant dismissal. I am now retired and my advice to young people is that if you are ever offered employment with a company that hates unions, don't take the job! Anti union employers are simply afraid of unions because they are happy exploiting and abusing their workers!
War story! I'm sincerely saddened that you experienced what you exposed, but by far, most companies are non-union, and they treat their employees as best as they can afford. Real small businesses, less than 50 people, are more family and community oriented and would not survive if they treated their employees badly. More importantly, most very small companies were started by everyday workers who were willing to take the risk and added responsibilities to rise above being an employee. I can state, as a matter of fact, that in my small business, which employed an average of 10 people plus hired many sub-contractors to do specialty work, my employees went home at 4 to 5 p.m., and I was still working at 11 pm. Also, they had their weekends off when I didn't. When we had work, I couldn't take a vacation because I had to run the company. When we didn't have work, I had to work to get work. I admit that is my "war story," but it is how many other small businesses, including my subcontractors, operated as well. It is so easy to place blame on some other entity and say, "get rid of them, and all will be fine," but that is not realistic. As for Bernie, he never successfully held a job in his life. He is all blowhard BS ideology with no substance. FYI: Due to a downturn in the economy, my business went bankrupt, in large part due to our government, but there was no bailout. I lost everything, but my employees just went on to other jobs and lost nothing. I'm not bitter. It was my choice and a set of circumstances. In fact, I welcomed the bankruptcy so I would get out of running a business that was killing me physically. When you wish to sling mud at what you perceive to be true across the board, it loses value. In your case, all you said may very well be true of the individuals who ran the company. But, like Bernie's ideological BS, it doesn't reflect the reality across a wide spectrum of companies, especially small businesses, and more people work for small businesses than are workers in large corporations. I wish you well.
@@MrFreshbreeze50EnjoyLife But the point Sanders was making did not talk about you small business being the exploiters of the working class, as he stated, 3 corporations have a majority share of 95% of the S&P 500. The companies of the s&p 500 own the majority of the major employing companies who aren't struggling to pay their employees at the expense of their own quality of life and compensation. Because of favorable business laws and tax systems geared towards large corporations, you had to experience bankruptcy which those major companies wouldn't have. The person you commented on im sure wasn't referring to small businesses, and neither does Bernie Sanders. In this speech he specifically mentioned that one of the biggest problems in the US economy is the fact that large businesses have taken over so many sectors where small businesses used to thrive that they can essentially outspend the competition. My family owned two coffeeshops before Covid and like you we had to sell both because of a decrease in demand, and to be honest the company wouldn't have been able to survive much longer anyway as my aunt who ran them already was working as an accountant on the side to make enough money to survive. Why is this possible? Because major chains can take the hit from an economic downturn and sell products for a much cheaper price than small businesses, and in the long term end up paying a lower tax percentage as well. You know who the largest corporate shareholders of Starbucks are? Vanguard, blackrock, and statestreet.
@@coffelt683 We agree on a lot of points you made. Sadly, monopoly regulations aren't adequate for all the variables. I'm sure there is an answer, but Bernie doesn't have it. And, as we know, whenever laws are written, some will figure out how to get around them. Since you referred to my bankruptcy, please allow me to expose another angle. In my case, my business was in a city next to a major military facility. When Iraq invaded Quait, all the soldiers at that were sent to fight, which collapsed the local economy. Unlike a natural disaster, no government funds were brought in to alleviate the collapse. One of my business associates ran two car dealerships. Because car companies don't want their dealers failing, they supported him until the economy returned. I, being unassociated with a corporation, had no help whatsoever. Although weakened, I survived for ten more years, but due to additional local economic problems, eventually, I threw in the towel. Fast forward to today, and the city is booming again. It's just the way of business and how it is affected by forces that are not in our control. Different scenario, same result. But that aside, Bernie is no economic expert. Some of his figures (he loves to say five hundred thousand) are laughable. His political survival is based on pointing fingers and claiming injustices, but he has no solutions. Check his record. In all his decades of being in politics, he has perhaps one piece of somewhat major legislation that was passed. Before his political career, he was a total failure at everything he did. He not only couldn't hold a job, but he also couldn't run a successful business. He is brilliant only in the fact that he's made a career out of doing nothing but flapping his jaw about the injustices of the world but is hollow when it comes to solutions. I noticed he attacked billionaires. He used to attack millionaires, but he had up the figure because he is not a millionaire who owns three very expensive homes. He talks about the rich like their lives are so much better because they have a billion instead of a million. At what point does money just become more money, but a person's life doesn't improve? As he said, they have more money than they can spend in their lifetime. So, what are they doing with all that money? Hoarding it from the benefit and enjoyment of everyone else? No, they are investing it in companies that put millions of people to work. Besides, they don't have all the money. Millions of pension funds and individuals also invest in those corporations, and they look for a return on their investment. There is no way I can cover everything here in a short comment. The topic is way too involved for that. The problem is how to continue to allow growth while not allowing power to become dictatorial. The world wouldn't have the technical advances it enjoys today if it weren't for high-end corporations. No cars. No smartphones. No computers, etc., and the list goes on and on. Bernie just wants to make money bitching. He has no answer on how to balance it out. I don't think anyone does. And considering how corrupt the governments of the world are today, perhaps they are a bigger concern than the entities politicians like to deflect blame at.
you would rather the incompetents get promoted, I take it? I worked non-union all my life and wouldn't have it any other way. Unions destroy merit and accomplishment and replace them with mediocracy and how long you've managed to hang around.
And I've worked union jobs that were extremely corrupt
One of America’s greatest statesmen. I salute you, Senator Sanders.
I hope this man can make a big difference to politics before he gets to old.
There goes Bernie being on the right side of history again and again and again, my only hope is that a future generation will look back and realize he gave us the blueprint that would have changed our world and that they will FOLLOW it
Education in the USA is frustrating, intimidating, & scary- I truly dream & hope the world does better.
Bernie always speaks from a core of sincerity. I can't think of another american politician today that does this. It's why he appeals to younger people.
Superb.
(Unfortunately, none of my wealthy friends or family will ever listen to this - part of the issue; those with power or money will carry on regardless).
Organise and bring legislative change like the super rich has been operating.
yes i agree its your family and friends responsibility to pay for millions of people to see the doctor
I’m a capitalist & think he makes many excellent points about the potential pitfalls (many of which have been concerns for centuries)!
Greedy capitalists don't truly care about a fair & just world for all & you know that.
So stop pretending that you care about anything other than money.
Bernie Sanders is many things to many people - opponent to ally, hero to zero, icon to iconoclast and everything between- but what strikes me most about him, having heard him speak on many occasions, in many debates, campaigns, interviews, in real time and in documentary is just how much of a good-natured and generous person he is. Agree or disagree with his world view I think there's little doubt in any quarter that his convictions are as sincerely held as they are passionately expressed.
In terms of articulation, authenticity and integrity the nearest political equivalents I can think of in the UK (aside from the obvious, who I think fails to match up on account of lacking Bernie's oratory prowess and, ultimately/unfortunately political courage) are Clive Lewis, Caroline Lucas, Mhairi Black, Zarah Sultana and- arguably - John McDonnell (although he's seemed to me a spent force since shortly before the 2019 GE).
I firmly believe that if Americans and Britons were citizens of countries in which our 4th estates weren't owned and controlled by market-monopolising, bailout-billionaire 5th columnists who employ elitely educated playground gossips to push propoganda and pettiness on proles we would have far more 'Bernies' in politics, and our countries would be far better places for it. Forty years of what I sometimes call 'Murdoctrination' has been an unmitigated disaster for our civilisations by every civic, social and economic metric and the overwhelming majority of of us have paid a heavy price for the greed of the few. '"Free" market fundamentalism' has proven to be as costly and counter-productive a misnomer as 'The War on Drugs', 'The War on Poverty' and 'The War on Terror'.
Greed is not Good. There is an alternative. We know this because in many ways much of the solution can still be seen in the rear view mirror of our respective and interconnected histories- the amelioration of poverty, universal suffrage, civil rights, equality laws, international solidarity, socialised healthcare, education and welfare, mixed economies, though imperfect were broadly utilitarian and egalitarian - synchronising post-enlightenment ideologies to wade off the threat of merely symbolic and superficial syncretics that turn to demagoguery, dictatorship, death and destruction.
If we can at least carry the broad principles of the post-war consensus forward to a time where greater productivity + less physical labour = more time for leisure and learning then the developmental potential of our species advances exponentially. Collectively we cannot afford to let another generation of potential Einsteins and Hawkings to perish on the battelfield or never realise their talents surviving hand to mouth in the shadow of the unfathomable wealth and unwarranted power of 0.1% of the global population. Given that the people in control have driven people and planet to a cliff edge and that we're currently teetering on the cusp of catastrophe, overthrowing the status quo is no longer just a moral imperative, it is an existential one too.
Anyway, excuse my clumsy attempt at constructing a didactic diatribe and thank you Oxford Union for hosting and posting this event. Having never set foot in the institution (closest I got in my fifty years was The Eagle and Child where I had a literature inspired pint or three on a fly-by once) I very much appreciate it. I feel privileged, and so it is with a happy heart that I now move on to the Q&A section. :)

"TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places-and there are so many-where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory." ~ Howard Zinn
"The challenge remains. On the other side are formidable forces: money, political power, the major media. On our side are the people of the world and a power greater than money or weapons: the truth. Truth has a power of its own. Art has a power of its own. That age-old lesson - that everything we do matters - is the meaning of the people’s struggle here in the United States and everywhere. A poem can inspire a movement. A pamphlet can spark a revolution. Civil disobedience can arouse people and provoke us to think, when we organize with one another, when we get involved, when we stand up and speak out together, we can create a power no government can suppress. We live in a beautiful country. But people who have no respect for human life, freedom, or justice have taken it over. It is now up to all of us to take it back." ~ Howard Zinn
"We travel together, passengers on a little space ship, dependent on its vulnerable reserves of air and soil; all committed for our safety to its security and peace; preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work, and, I will say, the love we give our fragile craft. We cannot maintain it half fortunate, half miserable, half confident, half despairing, half slave-to the ancient enemies of man-half free in a liberation of resources undreamed of until this day. No craft, no crew can travel safely with such vast contradictions. On their resolution depends the survival of us all." ~ Adlai Stevenson

I will never understand why working people make ‘money people’ uncomfortable. The symbiotic relationship between human skill sets is as vital as it ever was.
It’s in the American philosophy, psyc, and mentality. USA push the individual. The thought is not on community, seeing oneself as a small piece of society. In the Nordic countries the idea is still dominated by the understanding that “without my workers my company would not exist.” But the American mindset has started to seep in, unfortunately, like with so many other bad things we import from the US.

From Iraq 🇮🇶 ❤
Feeling the Bern...
Thanks for posting.
Love Bernie!
Great speech !
Like a preacher - no substance - all emotion.
@@patbens9501 Wow. Don't know where you were, but you sure weren't listening to this gem of a speech.
The best president America never had.
Thank you Bernie!!!
Guy can even fill a room in the UK. Wtf were we thinking when we twice rejected him? 🤦♂️
Media narrative runs the u.s.
Same as the delusions that fill mega churches in the US.
@@patbens9501 What a ridiculous thing to say.
bless him
Bernie is literally 81 years old but he is so sharp. Comes with decades of knowledge, wisdom, and passion- unlike many in office. Stay strong Bernie. We love you.
Best way to distribute wealth is to take a percentage for example 2.5% from accumilated wealth that has not been cirulculated in the market.
As long money is circulated someone is benefiting. Storing money will leave someone hungry.
This was very eye opening. Thanks!
Love the guy!! Amazing that he can give a meaningful talk with no notes so seamlessly. The only quibble I have is with his literal questions about whether the audience understands the terms "paycheck to paycheck" or "diseases of despair". He sounds unintentionally condescending, when he could just embed the explanations in his talk.
Tbf if he had been talking to a young David Cameron, Liz Truss, Theresa May or George Osborne at Oxford they really wouldn't understand those terms and probably still fully don't, having no lived experience of them.
@@alexharrison9340 Those terms have been used in these debates for the last seven years at least. With the reading required at Oxford, along with social media saturation, I’m fairly sure they’ve all seen them. Or could easily understand without that framing.
Bernie is used to speaking to the general public- and it’s a good idea generally to check out your audience. He goes on automatic in that way, and it’s certainly forgivable! And of course he’s given the speech 1 million times. And bravo to him! My question: why is he the only one giving it!?
He can give “meaningful” talks without notes because he ALWAYS says the same things. Lots of “talk” but very little “walk”. Useless.
@@gwarlow He does both. That trope is worn out.
Bernie Sanders is the type of American the world needs to see and hear. He is the pre-eminent U.S. Statesman of the 21st century.
Oh please. Bernie has been a far left preacher for decades. The world has seen the evils of socialism many times already
He is a far left bigot
He see the situation as it, and says it 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Filtered scheme.
I love this because Bernie knows his audience thinks a bit more than the "typical" audience so he made his points it seems much better and detailed. This is what I've always been hoping for.
I can see how the young admire him. What a gem
Only the feeble minded follow his propaganda that will not work in America.
Excellent
GREETINGS AND PRAYERS 🙏 BY RAVINDER TALWAR JALANDHAR CITY PUNJAB INDIA
Yay, Bernie!
An american hero
Love ❤️ that bernie
This is the best speech I have ever heard from my favourite human being. You go Bernie!!
Don't be fooled by rhetoric. He is a millionaire pretending to be a socialist. His adherents are the ones who support Hamas.
Let's hear it for this decent senator 👏
America's Grandpa.

Sanders 2024
Freedom is about choices. Choices come from economic and political decisions. The essential value is social responsibility. Milton Friedman in 1971 wrote an article saying that corporations do not have a social responsibility but only accountability to shareholders.
He has a point about the tech lords and the workers. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
He’s a multi-millionaire who votes accordingly. Please do some research on this guy.
@@gwarlow I know he's a hypocrite. He's a socialist, maybe even a communist, and owns three homes.
I would be utterly convinced Bernie Sanders is the reincarnation of Franklin D. Roosevelt if only he wasn't born 4 years before Roosevelt died.
The most honest politician in the U.S. It takes guts, passion, and honesty to fight for the poor one's whole life into one's 80s.
