Bernie needs to do what Australia just did, made it law that billionaires cannot buy our NOT buy our elections! Do it before trump! Save our benefits in law too before trump! Help! Pass it on people! Australia just made it law, look it up! They learned from USA mistakes!
@@jonathjoeeeThose small investors have no voice in their returns, nor in the pay/compensation packages for the CEO’s. No voice. Which decreases their investment returns.
Any person that accumulates 1 billion dollars should be subject to a very thorough and detailed inquiry and every detail of their income should be examined for the mistakes that lead to this wealth. People are being underpaid, conned out of their just wages and put in harms way either by substandard working and living conditions and precarious working and living conditions in order to enable this form of economic terrorism. Many countries boast about "full employment" but there cannot be full employment if homelessness is high and people, the working poor, cannot afford secure and adequate housing on a 40 hour weeks work. This is the new lie in many western democracies. They boast about "full employment" but many people are homeless in emergency accommodation relying on foodbanks and charity to get by in spite of working full weeks in arduous jobs and tough conditions.
And yet, when you win the freaking lottery in the state of North Carolina, they take 60 freaking percent of it. You don't win a million dollars on the million dollar lottery. You only take home three a little over $300,000. How f***** up is that.
We have cancelled our UA-cam and Amazon subs and are changing the way we spend our money. I can't totally afford to not use Amazon or Walmart etc, but cutting it in half is my way of protesting. I hate them. I hate where we are at. I don't use Facebook or instacrap and am careful who I give my views to on UA-cam.
You know what makes me sick? Career Politicians, claiming to be socialists, saying there shouldn't be any such thing as a millionaire, who becomes a millionaire, own multiple homes and says there should be no such thing as billionaires. By the way, I presume if by some means you suddenly gained a billion dollars, you would give it all away, right?
After I graduated in 1970, I began delving like crazy into newspapers and books concerning countries and power. In my 20s, in my mind, I discovered that whoever had the most money was going to rule the world. I instilled this in my daughter. Now I am 72, and I take no pleasure in saying that it appears I was right. It was unsettling in my 20s but it is terrifying now. Thank you Senator Sanders for breaking this down so that anybody should be able to understand.👏👏
Absolutely! He got my vote & I can say with certainty that if he had been POTUS, our nation wouldn't be in this mess. We can thank the Council on Foreign Relations for all of it but I promise you The Don will deal with them!
I was out there knocking on doors doing canvassing with Bernie sticker bumper stickers and pins with enough information in my mind and my heart to back him up as president or 2016, Imagine how disappointing it was for me and millions when we got Trump. Could I say when democracy got tRumped?
“we don’t talk about it very much” and yet you’ve talked about it every day for decades. Idk how you stay so optimistic Senator, I get frustrated when I have to repeat myself once. You inspire me to never give up, to always stay focused on helping educate instead of giving up on people who are too ignorant to understand. You’re not just a blind hater; you truly care, which is more powerful than just hating these evil people. Love you Bernie, I’m sharing this one. I won’t ever give up, bc you taught me that it isn’t an option. You proved to me that good men still exist, even when it seems good is all but defeated; so it’s my responsibility to continue that legacy, and instead of staying mad I need to stay focused and inspired! Thank you Bernie, we will fix America together. Not me, us

@@blueblack3591 Al Gore didn't lose George W Bush, had his brother throwing out votes and undermining our democracy. If we used the popular vote you would never have to worry about a mayor of a state changing the outcome of an election.
@@Iamrightasusual I'm heartbroken too, but let's not blame the Democratic Party voter's nominee Bernie Sanders, for what Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the Clinton machine did.
Against the odds, Bernie will never give up trying to actually make America the country the vast majority of we the people want it to be. We love you Bernie.
Should have started his own party and challenged the right wing establishment talking doesn't help him and Jeremy Corbyn are huge disappointment the right wing ruling establishment is getting even more powerful without a challenge Farage will win elections next in Britain.
I pledge compliance to the flag, of the corporate state of America. And to the oligarchy, for which it stands, one nation, under the New York stock exchange, divisible depending on political convenience, with liberty, and a flexible definition of justice for all who can afford it. 🇺🇸
Bernie, you are so so right with oligarchy being such an important topic for people to understand… and the need for it to be broken. Bern, Bern, Bern 🔥
I was a state level delegate for Bernie in NV in ‘16. The last time I felt any pride as an American, and the moment I lost faith in the Democratic Party. The rigging was real. They are who we should blame for Trump. Bernie would have won if they hadn’t rigged it for Clinton.
Any opinion on why Bernie didn't go on Joe Rogan this election to warn Joe about this phenomenon? Rogan ended up stumping for Donald Trump with his best friend Elon Musk. In 2015, Joe Rogan endorsed Bernie Sanders and said he was the president that Rogan really wanted.... There is a very large disconnect there, I've just been wondering how it went from Rogan endorsing Bernie to Rogan endorsing all of the things that Bernie say will destroy everything and everyone. The only thing I can think of is that Trump's propaganda and lies won out over Bernie's exposing the truth and telling the truth.
@AndyRosebrook I've wondered if Joe Rogan has early onset dementia because his messaging has changed so much in the last few years. He sounds mean, narrow-minded, and misogynistic.
if every politician was as honest and caring as bernie, we would live in a utopia. he is a true hero, one of the very few politicians who clearly aren't doing it for the money and power.
@@kevinsb70Can you even comprehend the difference between millionaire and a billionaire? I used to say the same about Bernie. I now see that in reality a person who is good with their money, with a decent job, who invests in various things, probably is a millionaire or so in their 80's, without doing it off the backs of working people. The fact that he has a comparatively modest amount of wealth isn't really in bad character.
@kevinsb70 Hummm, as compared to the traitor, criminal, and liar that lies every time his is open. I'll take Bernie every time. At least he made his money honestly, by wise investing and saving his money, not by conning people out of their money.
@sheliaporter6795 no he didn't. His wife and him had to pay a huge fine for ripping people out of billions just a few years ago. That doesn't even go into his property scams lol. Face it your boy is no better than trump lmao
So, this means we were never a democracy at all, just an oligarchy pretending to be a democracy. Gee, this sure destroys everything I was taught about America.
@@Iamrightasusualwhy are you comparing bernie to them 😂 he is worth around 3 mil after a lifetime in politics and almost all of his wealth estimate comes from 2011 to 2022 on his book earnings where he earned 2.5mil 😂 pelosi meanwhile got 100+ mil and all of it is from shady realestate and insider trading 😂 and probably a bunch of “gifts”
@@IamrightasusualBernie an oligarch LMAO? He’s barely made a million dollars during his ENTIRE time as a politician. He didn’t make any money until he wrote a book. Bernie hasn’t taken a DIME of corporate or super PAC money. Quit spreading the propaganda. Bernie’s is a man of the people. You’re a useless right-wing troll that continually seeks to undermine our democracy in favor of the REAL oligarchs
Civil servants like him are one in a million. How many others have had this kind of balance of ideological integrity, altruism, empathy, intelligence, and pragmatism?
How much better our country would have been if Bernie had become President in 2016! It’s mind-boggling. Boy, did we ever lose out! We love you, Bernie!
It had been sold out LONG BEFORE THAT. None of this 🐂💩 began overnight. The sellout started with the Federal Reserve System & simply continued in pieces through the decades.
Yes, that is certainly part of it. Many changes have happened over the last 50 years that led the US this way. In the 1970s, Nixon (& others) allowed profit to start ruling our healthcare industry. In the 1980s, Reagan (& others) dismantled much of our protections and regulations that had been trying to hold big organizations responsible & accountable. In the 1980s, TV networks realized they were not going to get in trouble for turning their news programs (relatively objective & much less biased in the 1950s - 1970s) into sensationalized infotainment. (The 24-hour cable news cycle probably did not help either.) Also SuperPACs, SCOTUS members accepting unethical gifts, and much more.
Where do we go from here? If this trends continues we can expect violent revolutions including in the wealthiest countries. Bernie needs to find and bring with him young politicians who are willing to break from the 2-party illusion.
As a lifelong Independent I hear you hon. Like Ralph Nader said, you can't spoil a system that's already rotten to the core. When Trump tried running as an Indy, he got nowhere. What needs to happen is the major parties must be reformed by patriots from within. The Republicans have steadily improved while the Democrats sadly are close to extinction. I see them being replaced by the Greens 💚. If I may be so bold, I predict Bernie will flip to the MAGA movement but will never be a Republican. Look at what RFK Jr did! 😊
put massive intense pressure on europe since that appears to be the only place actually benefitting from the world being in this state. obviously the ones orchestrating everyone elses conditions have to be the ones to blame for it being so bad.
Senator Sanders is definitely doing his part. We need to do ours. If this past election was an honest one, the people of the United States did not do their part. I believe they did, but not in the numbers needed to overwhelm fraud. We need a Bernie Sanders at the top of the ticket!!!
Last week, my doctor booked me for back surgery. In 12 days, I will have my surgery at Toronto Western Hospital. U.S. medical system is exploration and harmful to the citizens.
Thank you so much Mr Sanders for what you are doing to defend democracy. Oligarks are more and more the real rulers in the world. We have to say BASTA to this hegemony of money over politics. It's always so refreshing to listen to you. God bless you.
@@RobertCSuterJR the media is too worried about playing both sides to be "moderate," and they end up covering the wrong issues and also twisting reality
The wealthy today don't remember the 70% tax rate the wealthy had to pay. WE NEED TO BRING IT BACK TO STRAIGHTEN THIS MESS OUT !!!!!!! My family paid those kind of tax rates and they still had more money than they could spend. DISGUSTING !!
Great! Finally you are talking a bit straighter to the working American people Mr. Bernie Sanders! Thank You! 🙏 We want Peace in this world. Not Divisiveness and continual imperialistic wars “for profit”. And we want to work for a People’s Social Democracy, NOT the un democratic oligarchy that we presently have had for decades! -here in the USA.
Thank you, Bernie! How I wish you were our next president. We love and respect you and your lifelong work. Thank you for educating us and having our backs.
Sheldon Whitehouse seems to be cut from the same mold, he has a whole series exposing corruption in the Supreme Court on his UA-cam Channel and very much going in depth about what Bernie Sanders is saying about a handful of very rich people buying elections. I recommend checking him out.
Western politics still seem to be the least corrupt. Russia and China are de facto fascist states now, India is on their way to join them. South Korea is like a cyber punk society with a few family owned corporations in charge.
Obama ruined Bernies campaign and run for the president.. bc he was influenced by Corporate donations and interests. Gave us trump . Obama gave us trump again with his pick in Merrick Garland.
Thank you Bernie Sanders for speaking clearly about what is happening now. We need to pay attention to what we can do as responsible citizens to support those who speak truth to power...keep speaking!!...we hear your voice as should others......L. Martin
I walked away from a good job 13 years ago. I just had it with all the BS. I've been living by the seat of my pants since then, but I don't care. I'm healthy and happy.
I decided when I left the military in 2011 that I would rather be happy than rich. However, I'm back to working my a$$ off 7 days a week so I can eat. I made more money, comparatively, in high school when I made 20% of my current wage. One hour of Elon money would set my family up for life. Yes, very discouraging.
60% of what you make goes to them regardless, through insurance, (Which doesn't provide hardly anything.) Taxes, which are exploited by the rich. You should be paid double what you are, in fact, you are paid double what you are. It's just stolen before it even gets to you.
Well Yes - But - that probably WON'T happen because The "Friend Of The People" President Ronald Reagan TAUGHT US ALL that Regulation is Bad because, "Government is Not the solution to our problems, Government IS THE PROBLEM...! " IMO - Ronald Reagan, May He ROT IN HELL...!!!
First, you need to get power to do that. Second, you need to find a way to actually reset it without overreach and bad precedent. Third, you need to set in safeguards that can actually keep if from returning. Hate to say it, but you cant regulate it really. Much less elect your way into addressing it. There’s only one way you actually fix this. And it looks like when those peasants revolted and burned down the kings in their castle. And yeah. Not everyone suffering from the rigged system picks the right side. There’s always some people willing do something for a buck, to suck up to their lord to secure their own unfair position of ill-begotten gains.
Well they didn't want Bernie & were sure terrified of Trump. No politicians who are evil ever have to worry about anyone ending their lives. Think about it! 🤨
yes and no. Word choice mention.

Bernie, I love what you're doing and how you're trying to address the pressing and monumental, structural socioeconomic issues that society being affected with. Considering your age of 83 years, I also have to bring up an important point though: You'll need a political successor for when you're not around anymore - someone under your mentorship, who inherits your ideals, philosophy and sense of ethics, someone who'll continue this important fight! For better or for worse you're irreplacable right now.
Yeah I couldn't possibly find another multi-millionaire politician who supports the funding of Israel. Get real. You probably complain about republicans having the wool pulled over their eyes by obviously untrustworthy people, yet here you are crawling into a van with a man who claimed he had a puppy.
It's frustrating to see how opaque our current financial systems can be. I dream of a world where transactions are completely transparent and accessible to everyone. Imagine a system where you could truly 'follow the money' and see who and where benefits
Thank you Bernie for shouting your message from your individuality in your knowledge of detail. We need more people like yourself to help people understand better the truth about the level of greed that is choking the world.
Thats kind of the medias fault, if you sit down and give it a thinker. That, and Reagan getting rid of the fairness doctrine. Journalism no longer exists because they could not wait to bend over backwards and... prove trump right? {Pause for effect} I am not sure if I actually wrote that, such is the insanity we know dwell in.
Let's not pretend like there's not a lot the left doesn't get either. But yes there's a lot of the hard-line Republicans that will never get it. They think pulling yourself up by your bootstraps is all you need to do if you wanna get ahead in this country. People that haven't experienced hard times will never get it.
Bernie has done a lot for us "poor" Vermonters. Funneled in wealthy elitist out- of-staters, kept companies out of the state but created many low wage jobs to keep his voter base trapped in a glass wage ceiling. Ponzi scheme of invite rich people to move in, have them subsidize the poor and make it impossible for the middle class to exist. All the while ol burn dawg laughs it up on his million dollar mansion on the lake. I'm feeling the burn, maybe thats why MAGA is so popular of late.....
Garland Nixon and other old-school lefties talk about it all the time. The right kind of "red pill" to be tuned into. We've been living in an Oligarchy since at least the end of the 1st Cold War. It started in the Clinton years when the Democrats because rebranded Reagan economics (neoliberalism), tough on crime (3 strikes crime bill), hollowed out our industries and working class and hyper financialized our economy as a service economy ruled by bankers and the wall street casino. It's why 2008 happened and everything that came after has been lipstick on a pig. Check out Michael Hudson if you want to learn about this more specifically from the economic perspective.

You’re not just a blind hater; you truly care, which is more powerful than just hating these evil people. Love you Bernie, I’m sharing this one. I won’t ever give up, bc you taught me that it isn’t an option. You proved to me that good men still exist, even when it seems good is all but defeated; so it’s my responsibility to continue that legacy, and instead of staying mad I need to stay focused and inspired! Thank you Bernie, we will fix America together. Not me, us
They have strategically silenced him
Me too!
Yes, he's talking and no one listening.

“Deny the permanence of capital. Defend the working class. Depose the ruling class.” - Luigi Marx

Yes, but vigilantes are poor role models. Here was my rant and a reply
Nicely put, putting them in place...we won't say where. Have some commentary rant.
'Whatever they call selves, all mass governments are capitalistic. Soviets In Chomsky's verbiage, 'State Capitalism'. One party states, most restrictive, unjust.

Money has stacked our judiciary to the point that Clarence has been openly bought, and other Supremacist Courtiers were permitted to lie under oath about Roe. Ukraine, Gaza and female sepsis dominate sane minds now...Trump's incompetence and deluded sanity must wait for final cabinet to be guesstimated. Crazy is hard to predict. It is natural for power and money to try to dominate...state capitalism, the illusion of balance in the 2 Party State, parodied by Tweedledum and Tweedledumberer..., these do not serve to restrain this inevitable imbalance to a manageable level.
If Leonine Kamaleon Harris and the real and solid WalZ possibly could not hold against:: the accelerative tipping points and negative synergies of pollution, money, resource depletion AND the fantasy cult of 'high tech to cure high tech', of 'green' energy devices made with fossil fuels as ANYthing more than VERY temporary stopgap measures, AND cults of Social Darwinism, racism, nationalism, sexism, mysticism, of science fantasy in MOST matters~~~fundamentally:: anti-science, logic, history, cooperation, empathy, fact....

Bern, Bern, Bern 🔥
I was a state level delegate for Bernie in NV in ‘16. The last time I felt any pride as an American, and the moment I lost faith in the Democratic Party. The rigging was real. They are who we should blame for Trump. Bernie would have won if they hadn’t rigged it for Clinton.
Exactly. Fact
I feel the exact same way.
Many share holder billionaires support ay pac.
This is so true
CFR Swillery Clinton rigged it with the help of CFR Debi Wasserman Shultz, who was DNC Chair for that purpose. Quit blaming Donald Trump!
It's happening now, so quickly few have noticed. Thank you, Bernie, for reminding us to open our eyes.
Any opinion on why Bernie didn't go on Joe Rogan this election to warn Joe about this phenomenon? Rogan ended up stumping for Donald Trump with his best friend Elon Musk.
In 2015, Joe Rogan endorsed Bernie Sanders and said he was the president that Rogan really wanted....
There is a very large disconnect there, I've just been wondering how it went from Rogan endorsing Bernie to Rogan endorsing all of the things that Bernie say will destroy everything and everyone.
The only thing I can think of is that Trump's propaganda and lies won out over Bernie's exposing the truth and telling the truth.
@AndyRosebrook I've wondered if Joe Rogan has early onset dementia because his messaging has changed so much in the last few years. He sounds mean, narrow-minded, and misogynistic.
Your problem should be with Joe Rogan, the obvious liar and grifter. 🤷♀️
@@AndyRosebrook The propaganda won him the election.
Bernie has been warning us about the same thing for over 30 years. Joe Rogan gets paid to gaslight his audience.
You can just sense his intelligence and decency, incredible man.
You have to sense it because nothing he's saying indicates intelligence.

Thank you for having the courage to speak the truth Bernie.
Bernie, you are the gold standard of politicians. If we had more like you things would actually be fixed. Thank you so much for everything.
if every politician was as honest and caring as bernie, we would live in a utopia. he is a true hero, one of the very few politicians who clearly aren't doing it for the money and power.
The dude is literally a millionaire and probably a billionaire who preaches against rich people. Yall love to 0:13 literally worship hypocrites
@@kevinsb70Can you even comprehend the difference between millionaire and a billionaire? I used to say the same about Bernie. I now see that in reality a person who is good with their money, with a decent job, who invests in various things, probably is a millionaire or so in their 80's, without doing it off the backs of working people. The fact that he has a comparatively modest amount of wealth isn't really in bad character.
@kevinsb70 Hummm, as compared to the traitor, criminal, and liar that lies every time his is open. I'll take Bernie every time. At least he made his money honestly, by wise investing and saving his money, not by conning people out of their money.
@sheliaporter6795 no he didn't. His wife and him had to pay a huge fine for ripping people out of billions just a few years ago. That doesn't even go into his property scams lol. Face it your boy is no better than trump lmao
So, this means we were never a democracy at all, just an oligarchy pretending to be a democracy. Gee, this sure destroys everything I was taught about America.
I have been saying Oligarchs rule the world for years.
My dad used to say it in the 1970s! In fact the cycle is: Monarchy, Oligarchy, Republic, Democracy, Anarchy, Revolution, restart!
Yes, Bernie, Bden, Pelosi. All rich oligarchs. I think you are still pretty much clueless.
@@Iamrightasusualwhy are you comparing bernie to them 😂 he is worth around 3 mil after a lifetime in politics and almost all of his wealth estimate comes from 2011 to 2022 on his book earnings where he earned 2.5mil 😂 pelosi meanwhile got 100+ mil and all of it is from shady realestate and insider trading 😂 and probably a bunch of “gifts”
like many of the rest of us then.
@@IamrightasusualBernie an oligarch LMAO? He’s barely made a million dollars during his ENTIRE time as a politician. He didn’t make any money until he wrote a book. Bernie hasn’t taken a DIME of corporate or super PAC money. Quit spreading the propaganda. Bernie’s is a man of the people. You’re a useless right-wing troll that continually seeks to undermine our democracy in favor of the REAL oligarchs
A true representative of American citizens.
One of very few who has stayed true to their ideals.
You have to love this man!

Civil servants like him are one in a million. How many others have had this kind of balance of ideological integrity, altruism, empathy, intelligence, and pragmatism?
Thank you, Bernie, for being so committed to helping the people! Medicare for all!
How much better our country would have been if Bernie had become President in 2016! It’s mind-boggling. Boy, did we ever lose out! We love you, Bernie!
Thank you! Citizens United was when the Oligarchy bought the US government at a wholesale price!
It had been sold out LONG BEFORE THAT. None of this 🐂💩 began overnight. The sellout started with the Federal Reserve System & simply continued in pieces through the decades.
Yes, that is certainly part of it.
Many changes have happened over the last 50 years that led the US this way.
In the 1970s, Nixon (& others) allowed profit to start ruling our healthcare industry.
In the 1980s, Reagan (& others) dismantled much of our protections and regulations that had been trying to hold big organizations responsible & accountable.
In the 1980s, TV networks realized they were not going to get in trouble for turning their news programs (relatively objective & much less biased in the 1950s - 1970s) into sensationalized infotainment. (The 24-hour cable news cycle probably did not help either.)
Also SuperPACs, SCOTUS members accepting unethical gifts, and much more.
That was directly the fault of The Supreme Court, they did that after Obama was elected!
Bernie, you speak the truth.
We the people are with you every step of the way
No we aren’t speak for yourself Bernie is a Zionist
He would have been President in 2016 if the Dems did not block him
For which people, specifically, do you speak? Every tRump voter publicly endorsed everything Bernie is rightly criticizing.
Hell yes we are!!
it's not a joke anymore people ,we are about to be royally screwed. Unless the people do something...
You are 100% correct, senetor. Thank you for spreading the word 🙏
Thanks for telling the truth Mr. Sanders.
Where do we go from here? If this trends continues we can expect violent revolutions including in the wealthiest countries.
Bernie needs to find and bring with him young politicians who are willing to break from the 2-party illusion.
As a lifelong Independent I hear you hon. Like Ralph Nader said, you can't spoil a system that's already rotten to the core. When Trump tried running as an Indy, he got nowhere. What needs to happen is the major parties must be reformed by patriots from within. The Republicans have steadily improved while the Democrats sadly are close to extinction. I see them being replaced by the Greens 💚. If I may be so bold, I predict Bernie will flip to the MAGA movement but will never be a Republican. Look at what RFK Jr did! 😊
put massive intense pressure on europe since that appears to be the only place actually benefitting from the world being in this state. obviously the ones orchestrating everyone elses conditions have to be the ones to blame for it being so bad.
Senator Sanders is definitely doing his part. We need to do ours. If this past election was an honest one, the people of the United States did not do their part. I believe they did, but not in the numbers needed to overwhelm fraud. We need a Bernie Sanders at the top of the ticket!!!

This makes me feel like not going to work. They probably make more in 1 second than I make all year. It’s so discouraging.
I walked away from a good job 13 years ago. I just had it with all the BS. I've been living by the seat of my pants since then, but I don't care. I'm healthy and happy.
I decided when I left the military in 2011 that I would rather be happy than rich. However, I'm back to working my a$$ off 7 days a week so I can eat. I made more money, comparatively, in high school when I made 20% of my current wage. One hour of Elon money would set my family up for life. Yes, very discouraging.
Because they are much more intelligent than the average citizen, who spends most of his/her time on Facebook and instagram.
Elon Musk tweets and plays Diablo 4 all day.. He's the #1 ranked Diablo 4 player in the world last I checked. World champ in a popular videogame.
60% of what you make goes to them regardless, through insurance, (Which doesn't provide hardly anything.) Taxes, which are exploited by the rich.
You should be paid double what you are, in fact, you are paid double what you are. It's just stolen before it even gets to you.
Thank you, Senator Sanders. I am glad you are still fighting for ordinary Americans. Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season.
This is just not okay. The egregious wealth gap needs to be regulated.
Well Yes - But - that probably WON'T happen because The "Friend Of The People" President Ronald Reagan TAUGHT US ALL that Regulation is Bad because,
"Government is Not the solution to our problems, Government IS THE PROBLEM...! "
IMO - Ronald Reagan, May He ROT IN HELL...!!!
First, you need to get power to do that.
Second, you need to find a way to actually reset it without overreach and bad precedent.
Third, you need to set in safeguards that can actually keep if from returning.
Hate to say it, but you cant regulate it really. Much less elect your way into addressing it.
There’s only one way you actually fix this.
And it looks like when those peasants revolted and burned down the kings in their castle.
And yeah. Not everyone suffering from the rigged system picks the right side. There’s always some people willing do something for a buck, to suck up to their lord to secure their own unfair position of ill-begotten gains.

'They' is a word, or phrase, like 'woke' and 'spiritual' and 'fair trade' and 'synchronicity' 'humiliated by' 'destroyed by' 'hidden' and "they don't want you to know''' ~~~which are often seen in propaganda. State of mind, political state, 'deep state'...originally just about politics in Turkey...but metastasized virally/bacterially/FUNGALLY in societal disease...internet algorithms being the ACCIDENTALLY EVOLVED mechanism of negative synergizing here. Oligarchs like Murdoch have the MOST control to manipulate, but those who felt votes meaningless WERE THOSE WHO PERMITTED THE MONSTER TO avoid prison and make things worse.

For better or for worse you're irreplacable right now.

Sir, about oligarchy, here and elsewhere, you are spot on!
Thank you Bernie! I appreciate everything you do for US
Thank you for your efforts, Senator Sanders. So important to dialogue and tackle
Thank you for your tireless service to the public
Thank you so much for everything you do Bernie!! We are so lucky to have you 🙌🙌🙌
Bernie Sanders is the only politician with whom I agree 100%.
Because he just makes sense, speaks to the facts and tells the truth.
TRUMP WAS #45 AND IS #47 AND IS THUS YOUR PRESIDENT. Don't mind me I'm here to GLOAT in your face.
Me too!
So you've supported the funding of Israel every year and don't use the word genoicde when refering to what they're doing to the Palestinian people?
The world has gone mad. As usual Bernie is a lone voice of sanity.
Enough time has passed. It's time for a new generation to step up, and respond to all of this insanity.
Destroyed Google Meta Apple Elon Musk
I just don't understand how a country that has such great politicians like Bernie Sanders elects a horrible guy like Donald Trump.
Thank you Bernie yes we will be following along✌️
Thank you for your diligence!!!!
Love you Bernie! Keep fighting for all of our futures! ✊🇺🇸
Yes.
Thank you Bernie for shouting your message from your individuality in your knowledge of detail.
We need more people like yourself to help people understand better the truth about the level of greed that is choking the world.
Keep it coming Bernie. You are the best. God bless you and your family.
It’s crazy he’s telling us the truth on what’s going on but people lack the attention span.
There are many silent watchers, many who may no longer remain silent. Enough is enough.
Thats kind of the medias fault, if you sit down and give it a thinker. That, and Reagan getting rid of the fairness doctrine. Journalism no longer exists because they could not wait to bend over backwards and... prove trump right?
{Pause for effect}
I am not sure if I actually wrote that, such is the insanity we know dwell in.
What's wrong with American people?
Mr. SANDER is a true patriot 👍💐❤
Bernie, we know this already. The question is what do we do about it?
Bernie. Speaking truth to the people. Too bad the MAGAts won't get this message.
Let's not pretend like there's not a lot the left doesn't get either. But yes there's a lot of the hard-line Republicans that will never get it. They think pulling yourself up by your bootstraps is all you need to do if you wanna get ahead in this country. People that haven't experienced hard times will never get it.
Dude, dems are your enemy, not maga, wake the F up.
Bernie has done a lot for us "poor" Vermonters. Funneled in wealthy elitist out- of-staters, kept companies out of the state but created many low wage jobs to keep his voter base trapped in a glass wage ceiling. Ponzi scheme of invite rich people to move in, have them subsidize the poor and make it impossible for the middle class to exist. All the while ol burn dawg laughs it up on his million dollar mansion on the lake. I'm feeling the burn, maybe thats why MAGA is so popular of late.....
That's bc those Dumb MAGA'S R BRAINLESS...
💯, Bernie! It’s time to rise up, organize, and revolt (left, right, independent)!!!!
I'm subscibing this channel because I want to learn more about oligarchy and how we can stop them. I'm listening now ....
Garland Nixon and other old-school lefties talk about it all the time. The right kind of "red pill" to be tuned into. We've been living in an Oligarchy since at least the end of the 1st Cold War. It started in the Clinton years when the Democrats because rebranded Reagan economics (neoliberalism), tough on crime (3 strikes crime bill), hollowed out our industries and working class and hyper financialized our economy as a service economy ruled by bankers and the wall street casino. It's why 2008 happened and everything that came after has been lipstick on a pig. Check out Michael Hudson if you want to learn about this more specifically from the economic perspective.
Same here in India
We need more of our representatives reaching out like this to the people. And more representatives like Bernie!
Votes under capitalism are like scrips at the company store
Yep yep, fer sure.
Best president we were never allowed to have.
*most of Northern Europe nodding *
Allowed? Who gave away their power?
Absolutely, a terrible missed opportunity
@@seguefischlin simple, you were not allowed to vote for him and people like him because the party took a lot of money in exchange for not letting him be a presidential candidate
I wish there were more people in positions of power like Bernie Sanders. Maybe then I could look forward with a little more hope and optimism.
