@@mism847 nihilism is the foundation on which many philosophical beliefs are founded on. It is a belief that nothing in our universe has any meaning. It doesn't ascribe it to be good or bad, just that it is true. Absurdism (one of the most popular forms of nihilism) for example, is a belief that all meaning to be found in life is arbitrary and will lead you no where, so people are better off to do as they please, living the best life they can, because regardless of whether you waste your life or not, it will mean nothing in the end, so you might as well make it as happy and fulfilling as possible. basically nihilism is not pessimism

It's similar to how people said Trump was able to reach and communicate to the common and unheard demographic. It's not really skill or insight. It's just a lack of shame that allows some people to rile up a crowd by blaming a group they perceive as weaker. It's the oldest and easiest trick in the book.
Bur we are doomed. I didn't want to admit it but due to Republican evil and corporate Democrat inaction.l, there is no other outcome. The world will burn. But I appreciate your optimism.
No matter how difficult things are right now, it’s not gonna stay like that forever. The phrase I have always lived by is that Things Will Get Better, no matter what! Thank you for spreading the message, Bernie!
Bernie, You are a blessing. I will be 66 in two weeks, and as bad as Vietnam, Kent State, Attica, Watergate, and the horrific assassinations were to go through, I was much more optimistic then than I am now. What gives me some hope is you, Bernie, Robert Reich, Beau of the Fifth Column, Heather Cox Richardson, and others who try to keep us informed, caring, critical thinking folks. To those who feel hopeless keep believing we can make a difference. As long as you can write to Bernie or someone like him and he cares and is still working for a better world for us all, then there is much hope. Thanks so much Bernie for all your hard work! 💙💙💙
Thank you for reminding me that things will, as they always do, get better. Keep fighting sir, you're always a breath of fresh air and thank you for the uplifting words which are believable and comforting. I'm recharged again.
No do not loose your confidence! We,here in Brazil: also have a very hard time it's a energy wich it is going around our dear Planet...Let.s HELP all TO REACT with FAITH in a normal and peacefull future...Thank you Mr.Bernie Sanders to your way to look the new energies we may choose to spread...
The current power structure in this country is not working for the vast majority of people. The people have been dwarfed by billionare elites and special interests. Whether you are Conservative or a Liberal, this must change for our country to prosper into the future. I stand with Bernie and thank you for your years of service to our country.
This man should be president right now. I am appalled at those who said "He's too old" but voted for Biden. At least Bernie still has his mental capacity intact.
But instead he is the greatest Senate Budget Committee Chair ever. I'm glad he's not President right now, because Joe Manchin would be doing the same thing to Bernie as he's doing to Joe Biden.
I'm going to disagree that Biden isn't mentally capable, even though he's slowed down a lot. Biden is a centrist though. We don't need Republicans or Centrist Democrats. We need Democratic Socialism.
@@jamesnell1999 This gets me curious: how would Bernie react to Joe Manchin if he was president rather than Biden? If there would be a difference, do you think anything more would get accomplished than what is right now, or would the exact same problems exist?
His whole talk was very good and easy to listen too . The way he spoke as if he was just having a conversation is excellent commutation and something many Americans would listen too . Can you imagine a president that talked like that ? This is what we need not more bs from sociopaths
I sure wish Bernie Sanders hadn’t been cheated of the nomination he won in 2016. He would have beat high pig trump in a heartbeat. Clinton’s DNC cheated US all on that one. Hard not to be doomed after the last 6 years. And no light in sight.
This is why I love this man. I hope and pray, every day, that he will be our POTUS. I know people have said he's too old. Well...he's not. He is not too old to fight for us and for our future generations.
The US military industrial complex won't let him be president. Bernie is their worst nightmare. They sabotaged him in the 2020 election, and they would do it again if he ever had a chance.
Bernie will never be able to or will do that. He's shown time and time again. He planted the seeds- now it's time for everyone else to fight. Prayers do nothing- instead actions and organizing makes things happen.
My adult daughter is really mad at the state of our government/leadership today and has said she will not support Biden for another term. She would, however vote for Bernie Sanders again in a heartbeat! Just like her mama would!😄 #NotMeUs Thank you Bernie Sanders!
Native American Tribes elected their oldest , wisest , and most humble people to be their Chiefs! I have always respected the Iroquois Tribe!

I try to keep working on things that I can control to keep from falling down the rabbit hole of despair. Every positive thing you do makes a difference. Volunteer in a sector of society that you can relate to. Whether it be a community garden, homeless or animal shelter or community organizing, etc. Whatever you feel passionate about. It is harder now than in the past because our society is so divided and there are some who's goal in life is only to sow the seeds of fear and hate to keep that wedge between us. But the ratio of good to bad people is still in our favor. Be informed, but don't watch too much news. I found it just puts me in too dark a place. And remember, in a long enough timeline, we win. Guaranteed. Good luck
Not being someone who lives in the U.S., I really feel that I don't have any right to comment on, or criticize the politics there. As a close neighbor to the North, I can't help but feel terrified by what I've seen. I remember watching the U.S. elections that put the former president into the White House. I remember watching, and cringing, as he predatorily followed and mocked his rival during the "debates". I remember feeling a great disappointment as I watched Mr. Sanders being brushed aside and ridiculed as being a "socialist', when in fact, Bernie Sanders was the only one within that group of individuals, who actually spoke the truth. Yeah, for me, that's when the "doomerism" kicked in. To this day, that former "leader of the 'free' world", has yet to answer for the damage he's done. To this day, laws are being written by the deck he stacked. To this day, the ripples of the hateful splash he created, continue to wash over the borders, bolstering the same kinds of people to act out in horrible ways. The former president, in my opinion, continues to pose not only a clear and present danger to the U.S., but to the entire planet. As a young person, I thought living in the U.S. would be a dream come true. Now, I'm glad I stayed right here. But now, I'm also afraid of having to live so close. "The American Dream", sadly, seems to have turned into a nightmare. Mr. Sanders, I truly wish you all the best, but I fear your words can't seem to break through the overwhelming, and deafening, cacophony of corporate greed. The "great experiment" of capitalism has become an uncontrollable beast. How do you go after a small percentage of people who can, on their own, afford to buy their own army to rival the nation's? Not to mention the militant individuals who fight against gun control in order to be able to hold on to their personal stash of assault weapons, as well as what ever other machines of destruction they may have acquired. These are indeed "troubled times". With you, Mr. Sanders, I can see a dim twinkle of hope, but the darkness has become embedded, it seems. Again, I wish you all the best.
Let me reassure you, Bernie speaks for millions of us! And we're not giving up. #MedicareForAll #LivingWage #UnionStrong #AbortionIsHealthcare #GreenNewDeal #EconomicBillOfRights
Beautifully said, Jerry. As a "dual" , I have lived in both the U.S. and Canada. The old saying "When the U.S. sneezes, Canada gets pneumonia" holds a lot of truth. Bernie Sanders is the most courageous, compassionate leader America has produced in the last century, the best President America could have. Between Canada and the U.S., it should be possible to turn the tide against the encroaching Fascism of the extreme right wing forces that menace our Democracies. True Allies, working together, can accomplish what each alone cannot. But it requires courage to oppose Fascists devoted to force and opposed to reason. Senator Sanders, Senator Whitehouse, and others in both the Senate and House are trying to turn back the Fascist Tide. We must do the same in Canada in all our Ridings and give the Liberal/NDP Commons the backbone it needs to stand against the Fascist Putsch. Active support for Democracy is our only justification for hope..
Trump is/was necessary leader to horrify all of us...into action regarding reality of those in power: true predator class...willing to burn the world down to retain power. Silly humans...creating a burning, flooding toxic world. For what?!? Mega millions?!? If your grandbabies cant survive...game over.
After 9/11, the passing of The Patriot Act, the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, and eight years of George W. Bush, the person who promised hope and change was Barack Obama. Not only did he fail to deliver, he escalated two insurgency wars into seven costing trillions, failed to regulate reckless banks resulting in an economic crash, he allowed banks repossessing homes and casting millions of Americans onto the the streets, he bailed the banks out with trillions of taxpayer dollars, hamstrung Bernie Sanders in two elections, and endorsed the likes of Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. What is being experienced now is a knock-on compounding effect from the Bush/Obama administrations. The Doomerism that left deep cracks in the foundation of America happened long before "The Bad Orange Man" sat in The Oval Office. Those crack have now widened to the point of imminent collapse, which is what's happening now.
Hello Bernie. ...I fell compelled to just say thanks for all you do & have given of yourself, but mostly it needs to be said, just Thank You for Being You. Your consistency as a decent human being is remarkable & is something I find Hope in, everyday. Cheers to You, Sir, , All the Best to You. ❤
Dear Mr, Sanders I'm so happy someone in congress is fighting for the American people TY. Sadly I'm on Social Security only getting 900$ a month. Social Security reform is way over due. We're drowning to survive.
Only Bernie Sanders cares to address the issues of despair in people and feel like he has to try do anything he can to show how concerned he is for them. 💗💓
@@marygibbons2263 Yes. Strongly agree re both. Very glad to learn of Warren's books, which I hadn't known of before. and will now look up. In return, I'll mention Bernie's, "Our Revolution" (2016) #3 on The New York Times Best Seller list and also published in China, England, France, Germany Serbia and South Korea. And then, "Where We Go from Here: Two Years in the Resistance," which I just finished and was also a good read. NotMe.Us.
@@virginialawler7725 I appreciate you giving me the titles of his books. I'll definitely get them soon. We need good leaders and honest, experienced politicians to help us out of this dumpster fire that America has become. God bless Bernie, Elizabeth and the others who haven't sold their souls for wealth and power
"And things change. Things get better." I choked up. I'm honestly not sure sure he's right this time. But it was reassuring to hear his confidence in the future.
My problems are that right now most politicians in both parties are advocates of increased military spending both at home and overseas, and the current administration's foreign policies are driving up inflation. For me peace -- and not peace based on nuclear superiority or sending arms to other countries -- is essential for optimism.
I have a son who has no desire to marry or have children..."what for Mom? This country is a mess..." broke my heart. I will make sure he listens to your video and to your words of hope..
I am hopeful that the uncovering of all the corruption and greed that we've allowed to happen in this country will bring a revolution in thinking and activism that will cause change, i.e., the fire that cleanses.
Ah! Bernie just touches my heart! WE have to unite so WE HAVE a life worth living of Freedoms, Opportunities, And Just Liberties FOR ALL. United WE Stand, Divided THEY WIN!
I love you so much Bernie. I never had a strong male role model in my life as a kid after my "Great Gen" grandfather died in '92, but over the years, I've started thinking of you as my "E-grandpa". As someone who reads & studies history a lot, I'm very appreciative for your comments. You've lived through more challenging events than all of us. 1968 alone must have seemed like end times....but you never quit. You never gave up...no matter how hard it got. After the 2016 election, Clinton just disappeared, made excuses and quit. But you didn't. You kept fighting for us. We see it and we thank you for your service. DJ Glass Alaska, USA
I'm in my early 40's and I'm having a hard time holding on to hope. I know, I know, it was worse before and could be worse again but this is the time I'm living in and it's hard. No seeing a doctor, no vacations, no new cars or homes, barely making ends meet so despair is a close neighbor.
I feel your pain, that is why I wonder why the Hell we are FORCED to live in this unfair World at all costs, only to postpone the inevitable. Why?! Are we that sadistic that we must savor every last minute possible of our life's suffering? What we desperately need is a universal compassionate euthanasia program. I am more than ready to go out like Edward G. Robinson's character did in the role he portrayed in the 1973 movie Soylent Green. A compassionate euthanasia program will be the ONLY thing that gives me hope!!
I know how you guys feel sometimes I feel hopeless too but honestly knowing that there are people like me, you guys, who want a better future and who are progressives keeps me going, you’re not alone! Also like the person above said, simple pleasures go a long way, perhaps you have a pet that you love to take care of that brings you joy, or there is a dish you really like making, there is joy to be found in everyday life despite all of this, we have to keep hope
I believe we need to do as Bernie said, for ourselves, children, grandchildren and great grand for the future, technology is still moving forward, do not despair we are almost there!
The one thing I always find - ALWAYS THERE for me when I have doubt or sadness is the writings of our elders - there are too many to post for me, but I will start with MLKs actual writings, Cornel West, Naomi Kline, Thich Nhat Hahn, Thomas Merton, Chomsky, etc and look into the lives of your heroes to see how and why they endure, and WE are never alone.
You should watch the 13 minute interview with ex KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov titled "Warning to America...given in 1984. I think you might have a different perspective on those people you listed.
Thank you for talking about hope in this time. People need to hear about the will to move forward with intent to do and be better, and I can't imagine a more compassionate and encouraging voice to hear it from :)
Go back and watch the conversation with Rogan. Watch the entire thing and be inspired. All we need is a quiet moment of conversation with our opposition and many will sway to the side of reason and sense and humanity. That will be enough to win. That's where the fight is. In a quiet moment of conversation.
“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.” - Thomas Paine, _The Crisis_ December, 23rd, 1776
Dear Sen. Bernie Sanders, I love your new channel hear on UA-cam! I vote for you every chance I get! I so wish that everyone in Congress only drew on grass roots constituents donations as you do. Thanks for your encouraging words! Life as we know it is a gift. I really resonated with your perspective on this being a critical time to try and help steer the human ship into a thriving future here on this planet. And hopefully be good stewards to our fellow flora and fauna. Viva Democracy
Thank you for this message. It's important to remind ourselves of this constantly it seems these days. Having hope is the only way to give yourself the strength to create change and not just passively allow atrocities to happen.
Thank you….our wonderful Senator from Vermont. This country needs unity so we can take on the problems we have. We need leaders who can unite us not divide us. You happen to be one of those leaders.
Thanks, Bernie, for reminding me no matter how bad it is, judging from history, it will probably get way worse 😅 In all seriousness, great points you made though. Hope is a commodity we desperately need.
@@mischevious I do believe you may be equivocating the word hope with faith. Us secular folk need to understand the difference. Also, not sure that courage is what we need most right now. There's a fine line between courage and irrationality. I'd love to hear you elaborate on your message. What kind of courage do you believe we need right now? How should we apply it?
Bits of hopium for my doomerism. VOTE EVERY BALLOT. I'M SPOILED, I live in Oregon the all mail delivery of ballots...so easy. Get some power, It's your right, and when under siege, it's your Duty.
Great livestream yesterday! I look forward to next week's show. Thank you for speaking truth, corporate media is so unreliable, Thank you for working so hard for regular people 💖
Even if you don't have grandchildren (I don't) you should want to make the world a better place for others and their children and grandchildren. Keep striving for improvement in all we do.
Thanks Bernie we need more critical thinkers and for them to take action. None of what is going on makes sense to me . They are playing games on the floor while the house is burning down around them.
I’ve been blackpilled for a while now due to financial instability and that feeling of hopelessness… I gotta say I respect Bernie for never abandoning the fight. He’s a better man than me.

No matter how difficult things are right now, it’s not gonna stay like that forever. The phrase I have always lived by is that Things Will Get Better, no matter what!
Thank you for spreading the message, Bernie!
Thank you, Senator Bernie Sanders.
I don't feel like I've ever heard him talk in exactly that tone of voice. That was really beautiful
I know! Totally!

Love you Bernie and my fellow citizens. We can't give up, we need to stand up for each other and carry on. It will be worth it

Bernie,
You are a blessing. I will be 66 in two weeks, and as bad as Vietnam, Kent State, Attica, Watergate, and the horrific assassinations were to go through, I was much more optimistic then than I am now. What gives me some hope is you, Bernie, Robert Reich, Beau of the Fifth Column, Heather Cox Richardson, and others who try to keep us informed, caring, critical thinking folks.
To those who feel hopeless keep believing we can make a difference. As long as you can write to Bernie or someone like him and he cares and is still working for a better world for us all, then there is much hope.
Thanks so much Bernie for all your hard work! 💙💙💙
One of the greatest presidents that sadly America never had.
Respect & much love to you, Bernie!!

Thank you for reminding me that things will, as they always do, get better. Keep fighting sir, you're always a breath of fresh air and thank you for the uplifting words which are believable and comforting. I'm recharged again.
Im a conservative but even I find it really hard to not like Bernie Sanders
you're not a conservative at all.
No do not loose your confidence! We,here in Brazil: also have a very hard time it's a energy wich it is going around our dear Planet...Let.s HELP all TO REACT with FAITH in a normal and peacefull future...Thank you Mr.Bernie Sanders to your way to look the new energies we may choose to spread...

You're great Bernie. So glad you are here.

The current power structure in this country is not working for the vast majority of people. The people have been dwarfed by billionare elites and special interests. Whether you are Conservative or a Liberal, this must change for our country to prosper into the future. I stand with Bernie and thank you for your years of service to our country.
you are literally living in the USA. it’s not so bad as you think.
@zzingping
Ah yes, because its not as bad as it could be, we should do nothing. Makes sense. Who would that benefit? 🤔
@@Bugg...0_o im not saying you shouldnt do anything im saying be grateful
Bernie, let's feel the BURN 🔥 in 2024 my VOTE‼️ has always been yours. 👍🏼⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🇺🇸🦅🎉
This man should be president right now.
I am appalled at those who said "He's too old" but voted for Biden. At least Bernie still has his mental capacity intact.
He should actually be on his second term, but the establishment has a strong hold on everything under the sun.
Unlike most of our so-called representatives in D.C., Bernie also has a soul.
But instead he is the greatest Senate Budget Committee Chair ever. I'm glad he's not President right now, because Joe Manchin would be doing the same thing to Bernie as he's doing to Joe Biden.
I'm going to disagree that Biden isn't mentally capable, even though he's slowed down a lot. Biden is a centrist though. We don't need Republicans or Centrist Democrats. We need Democratic Socialism.
@@jamesnell1999 This gets me curious: how would Bernie react to Joe Manchin if he was president rather than Biden? If there would be a difference, do you think anything more would get accomplished than what is right now, or would the exact same problems exist?
I was having a bad day, but listening to you helped me feel better. I feel more hopeful now. Thank you Bernie. 💙😊
Me too.
Same
When was the last time we could say that about any president we've had.... with me I think Gerald ford.
Our ancestors worked hard for us to be in this position. We owe them, we have to vote Democrat and be active politically.
@@robertpolnicky7702... Jimmy Carter.
His whole talk was very good and easy to listen too . The way he spoke as if he was just having a conversation is excellent commutation and something many Americans would listen too . Can you imagine a president that talked like that ? This is what we need not more bs from sociopaths
Exactly
Too bad what he’s really saying is that we need to expect that things will get a lot worse and the only way they’ll get better is if we survive.
I sure wish Bernie Sanders hadn’t been cheated of the nomination he won in 2016. He would have beat high pig trump in a heartbeat. Clinton’s DNC cheated US all on that one. Hard not to be doomed after the last 6 years. And no light in sight.
@@samuraitabernac3050 don't give in to defeatism, even if we lose, it's not because it was impossible to win ✊
@@Junksaint I refuse to die for people who don’t actually want to win.
The people who made excuses by saying “Bernie is too old” voted for Joe Biden and it makes me sick.
Thanks Bernie
This is why I love this man.
I hope and pray, every day, that he will be our POTUS.
I know people have said he's too old.
Well...he's not. He is not too old to fight for us and for our future generations.
The US military industrial complex won't let him be president. Bernie is their worst nightmare. They sabotaged him in the 2020 election, and they would do it again if he ever had a chance.
Bernie will never be able to or will do that. He's shown time and time again.
He planted the seeds- now it's time for everyone else to fight. Prayers do nothing- instead actions and organizing makes things happen.
"Too old" and he's almost as old as Joe Biden, and yet people still elected him despite that :p
My adult daughter is really mad at the state of our government/leadership today and has said she will not support Biden for another term. She would, however vote for Bernie Sanders again in a heartbeat! Just like her mama would!😄 #NotMeUs Thank you Bernie Sanders!
Native American Tribes elected their oldest , wisest , and most humble people to be their Chiefs! I have always respected the Iroquois Tribe!

Absolutely!!
Love you Bernie 💚🏃🏼♂️🏃🏼♂️🏃🏼♂️
I try to keep working on things that I can control to keep from falling down the rabbit hole of despair. Every positive thing you do makes a difference. Volunteer in a sector of society that you can relate to. Whether it be a community garden, homeless or animal shelter or community organizing, etc. Whatever you feel passionate about. It is harder now than in the past because our society is so divided and there are some who's goal in life is only to sow the seeds of fear and hate to keep that wedge between us. But the ratio of good to bad people is still in our favor. Be informed, but don't watch too much news. I found it just puts me in too dark a place. And remember, in a long enough timeline, we win. Guaranteed. Good luck
I love you Bernie ❤all the way from Portugal. We need more people like you!
👍
Love you Bernie! You can count on Change!
This neoliberal capitalists system needs to end!!
I now have four kids and seven grandchildren!
Thank you Bernie you chad!
Thank you Bernie, your words mean so much to us. You’ve given so much of your life fighting for others. I could never thank you enough.
God I needed to hear this so badly, I'm tearing up.
Thank you Bernie Sanders, the President America missed out on.
Not being someone who lives in the U.S., I really feel that I don't have any right to comment on, or criticize the politics there. As a close neighbor to the North, I can't help but feel terrified by what I've seen.
I remember watching the U.S. elections that put the former president into the White House. I remember watching, and cringing, as he predatorily followed and mocked his rival during the "debates". I remember feeling a great disappointment as I watched Mr. Sanders being brushed aside and ridiculed as being a "socialist', when in fact, Bernie Sanders was the only one within that group of individuals, who actually spoke the truth.
Yeah, for me, that's when the "doomerism" kicked in.
To this day, that former "leader of the 'free' world", has yet to answer for the damage he's done. To this day, laws are being written by the deck he stacked. To this day, the ripples of the hateful splash he created, continue to wash over the borders, bolstering the same kinds of people to act out in horrible ways.
The former president, in my opinion, continues to pose not only a clear and present danger to the U.S., but to the entire planet.
As a young person, I thought living in the U.S. would be a dream come true. Now, I'm glad I stayed right here. But now, I'm also afraid of having to live so close. "The American Dream", sadly, seems to have turned into a nightmare.
Mr. Sanders, I truly wish you all the best, but I fear your words can't seem to break through the overwhelming, and deafening, cacophony of corporate greed. The "great experiment" of capitalism has become an uncontrollable beast.
How do you go after a small percentage of people who can, on their own, afford to buy their own army to rival the nation's? Not to mention the militant individuals who fight against gun control in order to be able to hold on to their personal stash of assault weapons, as well as what ever other machines of destruction they may have acquired.
These are indeed "troubled times".
With you, Mr. Sanders, I can see a dim twinkle of hope, but the darkness has become embedded, it seems.
Again, I wish you all the best.
Let me reassure you, Bernie speaks for millions of us! And we're not giving up.

Beautifully said, Jerry. As a "dual" , I have lived in both the U.S. and Canada. The old saying "When the U.S. sneezes, Canada gets pneumonia" holds a lot of truth. Bernie Sanders is the most courageous, compassionate leader America has produced in the last century, the best President America could have. Between Canada and the U.S., it should be possible to turn the tide against the encroaching Fascism of the extreme right wing forces that menace our Democracies. True Allies, working together, can accomplish what each alone cannot. But it requires courage to oppose Fascists devoted to force and opposed to reason. Senator Sanders, Senator Whitehouse, and others in both the Senate and House are trying to turn back the Fascist Tide. We must do the same in Canada in all our Ridings and give the Liberal/NDP Commons the backbone it needs to stand against the Fascist Putsch. Active support for Democracy is our only justification for hope..
Trump is/was necessary leader to horrify all of us...into action regarding reality of those in power: true predator class...willing to burn the world down to retain power. Silly humans...creating a burning, flooding toxic world. For what?!? Mega millions?!? If your grandbabies cant survive...game over.
After 9/11, the passing of The Patriot Act, the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, and eight years of George W. Bush, the person who promised hope and change was Barack Obama. Not only did he fail to deliver, he escalated two insurgency wars into seven costing trillions, failed to regulate reckless banks resulting in an economic crash, he allowed banks repossessing homes and casting millions of Americans onto the the streets, he bailed the banks out with trillions of taxpayer dollars, hamstrung Bernie Sanders in two elections, and endorsed the likes of Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.
What is being experienced now is a knock-on compounding effect from the Bush/Obama administrations. The Doomerism that left deep cracks in the foundation of America happened long before "The Bad Orange Man" sat in The Oval Office. Those crack have now widened to the point of imminent collapse, which is what's happening now.
@@PhantomFilmAustralia I can't disagree with that assessment.
For the algorithm. And for solidarity forever! 🔥✊🏻
Senator Sanders, these clips of yours are great! Keep doing them! 👍
Hello Bernie. ...I fell compelled to just say thanks for all you do & have given of yourself, but mostly it needs to be said, just Thank You for Being You.
Your consistency as a decent human being is remarkable & is something I find Hope in, everyday.
Cheers to You, Sir, , All the Best to You. ❤
Dear Mr, Sanders I'm so happy someone in congress is fighting for the American people TY. Sadly I'm on Social Security only getting 900$ a month. Social Security reform is way over due. We're drowning to survive.
but if you worked all of your life, you would have a SS income of 3200.00 so shut up.
Only Bernie Sanders cares to address the issues of despair in people and feel like he has to try do anything he can to show how concerned he is for them. 💗💓
Bernie has a good heart wish more politicans did.
He's a national treasure! Elizabeth Warren is too. I highly recommend her books!
@@marygibbons2263 lt's too bad they didn't join forces before the democratic debates. They could have slayed the dragon
@@marygibbons2263 Yes. Strongly agree re both. Very glad to learn of Warren's books, which I hadn't known of before. and will now look up. In return, I'll mention Bernie's, "Our Revolution" (2016) #3 on The New York Times Best Seller list and also published in China, England, France, Germany Serbia and South Korea. And then, "Where We Go from Here: Two Years in the Resistance," which I just finished and was also a good read. NotMe.Us.
@@virginialawler7725 I appreciate you giving me the titles of his books. I'll definitely get them soon. We need good leaders and honest, experienced politicians to help us out of this dumpster fire that America has become. God bless Bernie, Elizabeth and the others who haven't sold their souls for wealth and power
"And things change. Things get better." I choked up. I'm honestly not sure sure he's right this time. But it was reassuring to hear his confidence in the future.
things will get better, im not sure how, but i believe it will lol and it will definately not get better if we do not think it will.
Thanks for addressing this, it is such a strange and challenging time, and we need hope
honestly made me cry a little bit. you've done so much to change the american political will in people my age. thank you.
I am not a really big bernie fan but this also made me tear up.
Touching 💜 We are here for a reason at this time ✨🐘🌳🌍🙏💜✨
@@siggietyrone3965 He always stood for the same politics, unlike most politicians. Remember that at least.
"The only way out is through."
My problems are that right now most politicians in both parties are advocates of increased military spending both at home and overseas, and the current administration's foreign policies are driving up inflation. For me peace -- and not peace based on nuclear superiority or sending arms to other countries -- is essential for optimism.
You make the world a better place Bernie Sanders. Thank you for your messages to America.
Sage as always Bernie. Sanders Turner 2024!
Bernie you are the best and one of only a few that really care I have always been a supporter of yours and will always be
This was probably the part of the live stream that really stuck with me. Thanks for the perspective Bernie.
I have a son who has no desire to marry or have children..."what for Mom? This country is a mess..." broke my heart. I will make sure he listens to your video and to your words of hope..
Thank you for all your relentless hard work !!
Appreciate you Sir…
You Will ALWAYS have my VOTE! 🇺🇸🦅🗽
I am hopeful that the uncovering of all the corruption and greed that we've allowed to happen in this country will bring a revolution in thinking and activism that will cause change, i.e., the fire that cleanses.
I share your vision!
Hello bernie
Ah! Bernie just touches my heart! WE have to unite so WE HAVE a life worth living of Freedoms, Opportunities, And Just Liberties FOR ALL. United WE Stand, Divided THEY WIN!
❤
I love you so much Bernie. I never had a strong male role model in my life as a kid after my "Great Gen" grandfather died in '92, but over the years, I've started thinking of you as my "E-grandpa". As someone who reads & studies history a lot, I'm very appreciative for your comments. You've lived through more challenging events than all of us. 1968 alone must have seemed like end times....but you never quit. You never gave up...no matter how hard it got. After the 2016 election, Clinton just disappeared, made excuses and quit. But you didn't. You kept fighting for us. We see it and we thank you for your service.

We need more Bernies
I'm in my early 40's and I'm having a hard time holding on to hope. I know, I know, it was worse before and could be worse again but this is the time I'm living in and it's hard. No seeing a doctor, no vacations, no new cars or homes, barely making ends meet so despair is a close neighbor.
I feel your pain, that is why I wonder why the Hell we are FORCED to live in this unfair World at all costs, only to postpone the inevitable. Why?! Are we that sadistic that we must savor every last minute possible of our life's suffering? What we desperately need is a universal compassionate euthanasia program. I am more than ready to go out like Edward G. Robinson's character did in the role he portrayed in the 1973 movie Soylent Green. A compassionate euthanasia program will be the ONLY thing that gives me hope!!
+1
I usually get joy from a good dessert or movie.
I know how you guys feel sometimes I feel hopeless too but honestly knowing that there are people like me, you guys, who want a better future and who are progressives keeps me going, you’re not alone!
Also like the person above said, simple pleasures go a long way, perhaps you have a pet that you love to take care of that brings you joy, or there is a dish you really like making, there is joy to be found in everyday life despite all of this, we have to keep hope
I believe we need to do as Bernie said, for ourselves, children, grandchildren and great grand for the future, technology is still moving forward, do not despair we are almost there!
the fact that bernie sanders addresses doomerism alone inspires me. god damn it bernie everything you do is an inspiration. keep fighting!!
Absolutely!
Thank you, Bernie. You'll never know how much I needed this today. You are my Obi-Wan. Love you. BERNIE=TRUTH.
Thanks a lot Hilary and DNC. We could have had Bernie go up against Dumpy in 2020 but nooooo, it was “her turn”. Fuck me.
UNION UP!
The one thing I always find - ALWAYS THERE for me when I have doubt or sadness is the writings of our elders - there are too many to post for me, but I will start with MLKs actual writings, Cornel West, Naomi Kline, Thich Nhat Hahn, Thomas Merton, Chomsky, etc and look into the lives of your heroes to see how and why they endure, and WE are never alone.
You should watch the 13 minute interview with ex KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov titled "Warning to America...given in 1984. I think you might have a different perspective on those people you listed.
@@markanthony3275 I think I will stick to my current path of knowledge and science, but thanks for the concern.
"Despair is not an option." Thanks, Bernie, for reminding #NotMeUs that we must not give up.
Bernie Sanders saying "Doomerism" has made my life complete, I will never give in Bernie.
Thanks, Bernie. Love you❤
Thank you for talking about hope in this time. People need to hear about the will to move forward with intent to do and be better, and I can't imagine a more compassionate and encouraging voice to hear it from :)
Go back and watch the conversation with Rogan. Watch the entire thing and be inspired. All we need is a quiet moment of conversation with our opposition and many will sway to the side of reason and sense and humanity. That will be enough to win. That's where the fight is. In a quiet moment of conversation.
“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”
- Thomas Paine, _The Crisis_ December, 23rd, 1776

I so wish that everyone in Congress only drew on grass roots constituents donations as you do.
Thanks for your encouraging words!
Life as we know it is a gift.
I really resonated with your perspective on this being a critical time to try and help steer the human ship into a thriving future here on this planet. And hopefully be good stewards to our fellow flora and fauna.

Thank you for this message. It's important to remind ourselves of this constantly it seems these days. Having hope is the only way to give yourself the strength to create change and not just passively allow atrocities to happen.

Thank you….our wonderful Senator from Vermont. This country needs unity so we can take on the problems we have. We need leaders who can unite us not divide us. You happen to be one of those leaders.
Thanks, Bernie, for reminding me no matter how bad it is, judging from history, it will probably get way worse 😅
In all seriousness, great points you made though. Hope is a commodity we desperately need.
Hope is nothing more than wishful thinking.
Courage is required.
@@mischevious I do believe you may be equivocating the word hope with faith. Us secular folk need to understand the difference. Also, not sure that courage is what we need most right now. There's a fine line between courage and irrationality.
I'd love to hear you elaborate on your message. What kind of courage do you believe we need right now? How should we apply it?

None of what is going on makes sense to me . They are playing games on the floor while the house is burning down around them.
It’s so difficult to stop losing hope that our democracy will survive
I’ve been blackpilled for a while now due to financial instability and that feeling of hopelessness… I gotta say I respect Bernie for never abandoning the fight. He’s a better man than me.
