      How can young people be so dumb they don't realize the Sanders was chosen by Hillary as her "debate" partner. Why do you think he is not allowed to attack her lifetime of crime?
      Seriously, college kids are so stupid. She is laughing at you.

      Yeah cause this isn't on the corporate media, it's unfiltered and really shows that Bernie is one of the only politicians who actually gives a damn about the people.

    • @dutchhiphopfan050
      @dutchhiphopfan050 8 років тому +5

      Scott Tami Agree. The bitter irony is the founding fathers based a lot of the American system on the dutch system but misunderstood (en thus fucked it up) completely.

    • @dutchhiphopfan050
      @dutchhiphopfan050 8 років тому +11

      ***** Its a known fact some of the founding fathers have studied our system for inspiration and then designed their own. How is that so impossible to accept? The Dutch Staten Generaal inspired the senate (except they added lobbying SMH) since the Netherlands were confined of 7 provinces with their own laws but decided together about war/defense/economics to ensure maximum power (we are a small country so needed to work together to be able to really compete in a war/global economics). The same model inspired the American system of seperate states with their own laws presenting themself as a unit to the rest of the world (to fight wars together, see a pattern yet?). Whether that's really due to inspiration or just coincidence ofcourse can't be said 100% sure, but since a lot of Americans came from Europe they sure as hell were familiar with the concept. Oh, and no we are not full of degenerates. Fuck off yourself. At least we have the decency to provide our poor and elderly with a (small) amount of financial support so they can stay alive.

    I'm from the UK. Please elect this man he is an inspiration. He can unite young and old, almost if not all minorities and speaks of hope. He can reinvigorate America in the world's eye and make her once more the envy of all nations. Obama was somewhat of a gesture and I think Hillary would be. Elect bernie he is more spry than reagan and more like FDR. Who Reagan modelled himself on.

    @DaveBarcos 8 років тому

    MIke, this was amazing! dug the hell out o this. So real and honest and open. I think you addressed some core views that don't come out and sound bytes in regular media.
    You started out talking about your youthful focus on money but the values your family taught you about social justice and Bernie's comment about social contract. These are beyond what politics can legislate.
    They are critical to discuss outside of any religious/moral conversation. No challenge with religion, but the problem is can pollute the discussion because of all the "other" issues it carries outside the moral point you made.
    Killer Job, Killer Mike!

    Man look at how intune Berney is, straight to the fistbump!
    PS America, please elect someone who at least seems like they will have some backbone to lead the country to where it needs to go and not where the corporations want it to go.

    I went yesterday and voted for Bernie in the Texas Primary. It's an uphill battle, but I can no longer afford to say "Oh well, I'll just sit this one out. " NONE of us can afford it. Go out and cast your vote, whether you think you're a red state and it will have no affect or not... GO VOTE. The only thing for sure is that if you don't vote NOTHING will happen. Bernie has caused me for the first time to feel optimistic. And that is a great thing.

    I'm a veteran (U.S. Navy 2005-2011) that realizes that so-called "pro-war" senators and representatives only represent the interests of defense contractors and huge corporations. I think that American nationalism has blinded us to the fact that most people are economically worse off today than they were 30 years ago, with the exception of the wealthy, who have become obscenely powerful. And we're constantly redirected toward the image of homeless veterans, and the idea that letting immigrants into the country will hurt these people more. Firstly: No, it fucking won't; and Secondly: the same people who are saying this couldn't give less of a damn about veterans anyway - they're the same people who opposed the 9/11 first responders bill, and the first to throw other people's sons and daughters into harm's way for their own economic benefit.
