I'm an independent voter and I haven't voted for anyone since I was eligible. I'll be 25 in July and I've finally found a candidate that speaks to me. Bernie comes across as real and passionate. If anyone can change the downward spiral of America it's Bernie.
***** It's refreshing to hear your view.My sentiments exactly.I haven't ever voted.Since '85 when I was eligible to vote there hasn't been a single candidate who gave me a reason to,so I stayed out of it watching that downward spiral you referred to.I'm so fired up about this guy,I can't stop talking about him & sharing his message.We're gonna finally get our Country back!Here's his candidacy announcement speech if you haven't already seen it.Enjoy! www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/2015/05/26/berniesanders/27955299/?fb_ref=Default
***** you must first register as a democrat and vote for him in the democratic primary. independent voters cannot vote in the republican or democratic primaries where that party's candidate is chosen!!Bernie first needs to win the democratic nomination before running for president.
If he somehow isn't the candidate. This country won't survive if the koch's are allowed to by the White House. Citizens United must be repealed. Wolf-Pac.com
***** I would suggest you vote every time possible. If your reason for not voting is that you don't want to vote for the lesser of two evils, your not voting just helps elect the greater of two evils.
what happens when a persons negligence or direct action leads to human death? How about the same rules apply, if you deliberately allow for conditions in which someone dies your company is forfeit.
Because a corporation isn't a person, obviously. All you can do is fine it. Which makes criminal prosecution a cost of doing business, rather than a deterrent. And when you have that sort of freedom, you can start to attack the legal system itself. Largely by paying off politicians and government agents and trading favors and offering lucrative employment. After all, there's no consequences for getting caught...
So do you remember the election of 2012? Sheldon Adelson, Koch Bros. and many other rich douche bags that gave Carl Rove millions to 'buy' the last election. Most of the candidates flopped, and Obama won. Money does not always buy enough whores.
Caroline Corman Don't listen to the no-hopers Caroline. With the support of the people, Bernie can get elected President. And maybe as President alone he won't have enough power, but America will finally have another good, inspiring leader who can enlighten the people about these powers that exploit them, and so repair America's democracy. America desperately needs this. I'm from Australia, I just don't want to see democracy die in America, it's not doing too well.
Thug Stopping Pro If it's more satire written in the 70's, I don't see how that in any way affects the issues we as a nation are dealing with, nor how it affects the solutions that Bernie's putting on the table to fix our nation. I have a feeling that you're hoping there's more to come to give you ammunition for smearing Bernie's name. Good luck with that!
+roman2011 Bank of america meks 85 billion a year... they do shit for the community! America is a country filled with corrupt bussines men... its time to change that regime!
+David Patton Um, socialist may mean many things, but not corrupt. Socialism, if anything, is against oligarchy and concentration of wealth or opportunity. Egalitarianism is at the very heart of socialism, and corruption is one of the biggest threats to egalitarianism.
MasterDeanarius he has pretty much one of the highest number of people attending his speeches. just saying. vote for him and he will win. the main reason that people don't want to vote for him and want to vote for Hillary at the primary is because they think that bernie is the best choice but doesn't stand a chance of winning. Pessimism is Bernie's biggest obstacle for president.
MasterDeanarius Even if he's never elected, he is informing Americans to wake up to the reality of the crimes being perpetrated on them by the 1%. Sometimes it's the journey and not the end of the journey that is important. Wake up Americans an fight back is really what Bernie Sanders is saying to everyone. I think he knows he may not be elected but he's the only one divulging facts to the American people.
+Banter Board My only fear is he doesn't get the democratic vote and runs as an independent. If he does that he will draw too many votes from Hillary and we will get stuck with Rubio or another Bush.
Janice Claypole I never knew how deep their corruption went until I read that, though. Even though it's kinda long, I recommend it to anyone to read the whole thing. Thank goodness for Bernie Sanders!
Michael Newell its just crazy and its scary isn't it! people don't realize how deep the corruption is. you're right they do need to read the article!! Thanks again!
Janice Claypole No, he's telling you what you want to hear which is_ "Koch brothers, Koch brothers, Koch brothers!"_ and never once mentioning George Soros. The guys on the right do the same thing complaining about George Soros and never mentioning the Koch brothers... The fact of the matter is, don't get your hopes up. Bernie is a distraction and Hillary will be the nominee. I'm not saying to not support his ideas or vision, because we definitely need to go in that direction, but I don't enjoy seeing people lifted so high, only to be dropped on their face, like the thousands of Ron Paul supporters in 2012 who thought THEY had a shot at beating the establishment because that's the same road you're going down.
@@moodybugg-2098 you know a goverment giving 80 billions dollars and tanks,automatic assault rifles to its police with no oversight, thats what a communist goverment looks like
wow, this guy is a good smart honest man...it's so reassuring to see him out there speaking his mind and standing up for what he believes in... more power to him.
Despite your lack of support from the party and the media, your message is getting out, which I think is a miracle in the current political climate. I believe a President Bernie Sanders is America's best hope.
Social security, health care, education (including libraries, child care, basic education, maybe even universities), basic infrastructure (roads, postal service, electricity, water, internet) - these are things you don't want to privatize, unless you have good regulations that make sure, that private markets stay under tight control and therefore system will work for the people first, and for the profits second. -> In my mind, it's just better to have all of them public, even if your country has some corruption, because privatization can have a problem with slippery slope towards tax cuts and multi payer system that makes poor, working class and middle class poorer and upper middle class and the rich richer, since everyone have to pay their own services from their salary, which were paid by taxes before, which meant that they were mostly paid by upper class and wealthiest people. I like capitalism, but without a strong tax base and strong public services paid by all, capitalism will kill you if you can't compete.
@@brunoignaciogi Because you thanked a non-entity for what people actually did for starters. Then wearing a mask immediately puts you in the "not too bright" column.
+David Patton not at all thats what you are afraid. not only you but all american people should always be cautious of the government. For now its more like Bernie makes a miraculous point when he talks about capitalism and how dark money ruling the populous that makes the decisions in and around the government.
the way capitalism is going, it is. socialism is like what the USA has now, social security that helps the people but even still people in the media say that its getting bankrupt. why you ask? because some people whom are the .001% want it. Bernie is a socialist democrat and wants to help the american people against these .001% who influence the media and politics.
Meals on wheels has been de-funded by the conservative government where I live in Australia, it hasn't been taken up by the private sector, it's just gone. Unless old people have families (not everyone does) or connections into the community (not everyone does) they are going hungry. It is a crime against humanity for a wealthy country to not look after its most vulnerable.
OMG, they're doing that shit in Australia too? I'm sorry to hear that. The populace never recovers from forced austerity, especially if the populace classes are already financially weakened.
Guy Curtis Was it Jesus (or somebody???) who said that we will be judged by how we treat the most vulnerable in our society??? Who said that? They are right. Republicans, Koch Brothers, etc. ARE YOU LISTENING????
Yes, the 1% produces stuff and hires people and so did the Robber Barons; Railroads, Coal Mines.Factories. But Teddy Roosevelt, himself in that era's 1% busted up monopolies. Why did he act against his own self interest? Maybe sense of character, justice, compassion. I don't know. Know that Middle Class has been harvested like wheat.
SC Rider i was just thinking that everyone is about to be farmers and pedlars with the koch brothers in charge society as we know it would go back to the dark ages...
Mr Bernie I'am a proud Moroccan American i want to tell you that i been following your speeches for a couple of month but i am so happy that i came to a decision that you will get my vote and about 30 more of my family members and this is just my side of family and i am working on my wife family side as well ,we are all a small family own business so nobody thinks that we are taking advantage of the system . All my family has been a republican all their life's but if you are going to be the nominee you will have our votes in Gods will
this video is becoming ever more relevant today as it was three years ago, we need to spread this video as far as we can for 2018 and 2010. Thank you Honorable Sanders for everything you have done everyday to make the average Americans become more aware of today's political landscape and the impending reality of downward spiral of US into third world country status.
I am so happy that Bernie Sanders is running....a smart & decent guy....started checking his TPP videos, now watching more....I already like him...now even more
silat13 While thats possible, it's by no means a given, since there is a thing called an ELECTION to fill their seats which could just as easily be filled by a Dem or Ind.
9753flyer Easily? You are living in a dream world. The senate is a 50 50 proposition according to every expert when it comes to the next election. If you take 2 senators out then we will lose the very slim majority we have. But go ahead and support that outcome.
silat13 Per your own words, it's a 50/50 chance.. which means it IS just as likely that a Dem or Indie ends up in those seats. But go ahead, if you want to be a pessimist/glass half empty person, instead of seeing the benefits that could be had with the two of them in the White House.
Actually we do deserve a man like Bernie. We haven't had anyone like him to actually fight for the American people. .too many elections we choose the lesser of 2 evils and I haven't felt this way ever. Many people who have never voted or contributed to a campaign are for Bernie and rightly so. Just watching the way main stream media tries to ignore him or worse is passing people off. I'm 63 and finally feel like I'm voting for a true patriot.
"We got a collapsing middle class. And What big money can do is put an unbelievable amount of TV and radio ads out there to deflect attention from the real issues facing the American people." -Bernie Sanders
Autistic here. He speaks for me and everyone who knows me better then Autism Speaks and the other politicians ever will. However, calling him a politician is an insult to him, he's not a politician, he's a statesman!
we need to start translation these bernie sanders videos in multiple languages to spread bernie sanders messages to the diverse people in our country. Cantonese, hokkien, mandarin, tagalog, vietnamese, especially. And especially spanish, but I feel there is already a lot of people starting to translate them. Other languages need to step their game up.
I wish to be an US citizen so as to volunteer for Bernie Sander campaign and it will be a real honor to walk with him and behold him as President of USA. I hope the wise people of us understands the what a embodiment of magnificence this man is..
I am from Europe and the Norwegian working class live like your middle hahahah I been to TX and parts of Houston look like a 3rd world country. It is however filled with great people that deserve a change.
It's unbelievably uplifting to see any politician have such integrity and speak the truth. I hope they don't kill him. I would love to see him run with Elizabeth Warren. I pray for him.
KyuuA4 You have any idea what it takes to pass a Constitutional Amendment? It's a bridge too far for anything today with the electorate as divided as it is. For all practical purposes, it requires 2/3 vote in House and Senate, then 3/4 of the States must ratify. Harry Reid nuked the Senate because he deemed 3/5 (60) vote to high a hurdle. 2/3 requires 67 votes
Steve Vanechanos Yea. In fact, I expect to be dead before that kind of an Amendment passes. But so what? In addition to the voting process that you just mentioned, it will be a very nasty fight among the public. The power of money in our politics is so strong, such that it cannot ignored and must be turned completely around. Unfortunately, this is the only way to do it.
As long as corporations are considered "people" and thus can donate an unlimited amount of $$ to a campaign, there isn't going to be much change no matter who wins because billionaires like the Koch brothers are going to try to buy what they want and ignore the people.
every since may 25 when he came out with the video on his facebook, ive been very persistant in understanding the truth of our government right now. im gonna make a hange bc of this man, i hope to work with or next to him soon
+Aaron Lecciones Don't you mean "the badass _Sith-slaying Jedi_ in your government and country"? Or maybe "the badass _Jedi, slaying Siths_ in your government and country"? Because, and correct me if I am wrong, what you originally said implies that Bernie is a Jedi slaying _Sith_. Haha.
I am not american, but it gives me hope to see that there is a guy that stands up for his principles that i would call human. And that he does it consistantly for the last 30 years. I hope they dont kill him as they usually do with people like that.Go Bernie go
What politicians say to the public, is one thing, but their true values show up on the floor, where they speak directly to the government leaders. This is powerful, and these speeches and quotes need to be shared and meme'd to catch the public eye.
tiffsaver How you keep getting your summations wrong is unbelievable. I am a Muslim woman, not Christian. Not that it matters in the whole scheme of all that is TRUTHFUL. It would be advisable for you to make relevant statements when commenting in these types of forums. You never know who is reading what you have written.
+Bismillah Rabbani How can "my summations be wrong" when you speak EXACTLY like a Born Again Christian?? A logical mistake isn't it? The next idiotic thing you did was obliquely chastise me for not knowing that you're a woman, as if I could give a shit. The fact is, I didn't know that Muslims believed in an anti-Christ. But it wouldn't surprise me, because ALL Abrahamic religions (from which Islam stole their entire faith from the Jews) talk the same ignorant, arrogant gibberish since Adam first banged Eve, yet another stupid religious fairytale. Ameen??
tiffsaver And it continues for all the world to see. I pity anyone who suffers from this much hate and utter ignorance. I hope that you will do some studying before you spew your nonsense in the future. You don't have to believe as others do but, it makes sense to not insult over half of the worlds' population because of what they believe. Live your life helping and loving others more. You will feel much better,as it is quite clear that you are suffering in pain and anguish. Healthy people do not need to hate for the sake of hating. I wish you the best that life offers, Ameen!!
I am 63 yrs old have my entire life refused to declare a party. This year I declared Democrat so I can vote in the primaries for Senator Sanders. I feel our country has gone way to far with our super pack politics. Needs you end now.
His speeches should be running on TV more often, I don't think anyone, regardless of how conservative he is, will not see the obvious problems with republican and to a lesser extent democrat policies.
TO ALL MY FELLOW AMERICANS: If you truly want an amazing man like this to become the leader of this decaying country, please, tell everyone: Teachers, Students, Neighbors, Friends, everyone you can that this man exists, who he is and what he stands for. Spread the word to those ignorant of it!
Bernie Sanders is the only politician I have known in my lifetime - except perhaps John McCain and a few others - who actually speaks in plain english.
Oh my God I can't believe I have never heard about the Koch Brothers until now. I suspected that Bernie Sanders was worth trusting, and now I'm glad I had that suspicion. If it wasn't for how much he has been publicizing this issue, I may have never heard about it. Indeed this sounds like one of America's biggest crises to date, and yet nobody I am close to has ever said one fricking word about it!!!
The benevolent Koch Brothers need to run for president and vice president for a brighter economic future; even the poor will benefit the most from their policies

9753flyer Easily? You are living in a dream world. The senate is a 50 50 proposition according to every expert when it comes to the next election. If you take 2 senators out then we will lose the very slim majority we have. But go ahead and support that outcome.
silat13 Per your own words, it's a 50/50 chance.. which means it IS just as likely that a Dem or Indie ends up in those seats.
But go ahead, if you want to be a pessimist/glass half empty person, instead of seeing the benefits that could be had with the two of them in the White House.

LOL it means we can lose it. Try googling the chances we lose the senate then post your reply.
Bernie, you are back. Thank you.
Love you bro keepin it real and I can respect that more than you know
Bernie is the man! Everything Bernie says resonates within me.
Am willing all will listen and realize where the truth lies.
Free & Independent IS the "American way," yes? Up and at 'em Bernie!
Thank you for a great speech
Actually we do deserve a man like Bernie. We haven't had anyone like him to actually fight for the American people. .too many elections we choose the lesser of 2 evils and I haven't felt this way ever. Many people who have never voted or contributed to a campaign are for Bernie and rightly so. Just watching the way main stream media tries to ignore him or worse is passing people off. I'm 63 and finally feel like I'm voting for a true patriot.
"We got a collapsing middle class. And What big money can do is put an unbelievable amount of TV and radio ads out there to deflect attention from the real issues facing the American people."
-Bernie Sanders
Autistic here. He speaks for me and everyone who knows me better then Autism Speaks and the other politicians ever will. However, calling him a politician is an insult to him, he's not a politician, he's a statesman!
we need to start translation these bernie sanders videos in multiple languages to spread bernie sanders messages to the diverse people in our country. Cantonese, hokkien, mandarin, tagalog, vietnamese, especially. And especially spanish, but I feel there is already a lot of people starting to translate them. Other languages need to step their game up.
Thank you Senator Bernie Sanders.

This is someone who has been paying attention 🔥👍🔥
I found myself agreeing with every single thing that the Koch brothers were saying, but then again, I'm a libertarian.
Me to
We support the repeal of the Koch brothers.
Bernie Sanders, the most sensible progressive candidate running for president of the USA!! 'For the people'!!
Thank you for this video
I wish to be an US citizen so as to volunteer for Bernie Sander campaign and it will be a real honor to walk with him and behold him as President of USA. I hope the wise people of us understands the what a embodiment of magnificence this man is..
I am from Europe and the Norwegian working class live like your middle hahahah I been to TX and parts of Houston look like a 3rd world country. It is however filled with great people that deserve a change.
I'm Australian and really rooting for America to change. They NEED Bernie
Thanx for exposing the vile and greedy nature of the Koch Bros.
Bernie and Warren have my vote.
Stick to all first names or all last names. Cause if you don't it's very confusing
+Tyrone Biggums I don't know why I'm laughing so hard at this comment. xD
Tyrone Biggums
Get off the crack, it'll be less confusing.
+Jay Millz This is a very funny thread folks!
I completely support Koch Brothers motivates of the removal of the IRS.
It's unbelievably uplifting to see any politician have such integrity and speak the truth. I hope they don't kill him. I would love to see him run with Elizabeth Warren.
I pray for him.
He is right
I find it humorous that most of the people criticizing Bernie can't properly write...lol
If society wakes up and really tries to understand what is going on, we might just have a chance!
This discussion is one of the best arguments i have ever seen put to film. Bernie 2016!
Thank you
We must fight back! #FeelTheBern #Bernie2016
Why can't they help the poor? They want to run the world! We need to find out what they spend their money on or invest in and boycott thier interests!
Boycotting may help a little. However, a push to overturn Citizen's United, via Constitutional Amendment will be a much more lasting impact.
KyuuA4 You have any idea what it takes to pass a Constitutional Amendment? It's a bridge too far for anything today with the electorate as divided as it is. For all practical purposes, it requires 2/3 vote in House and Senate, then 3/4 of the States must ratify. Harry Reid nuked the Senate because he deemed 3/5 (60) vote to high a hurdle. 2/3 requires 67 votes
Steve Vanechanos Yea. In fact, I expect to be dead before that kind of an Amendment passes. But so what? In addition to the voting process that you just mentioned, it will be a very nasty fight among the public.
The power of money in our politics is so strong, such that it cannot ignored and must be turned completely around. Unfortunately, this is the only way to do it.
As long as corporations are considered "people" and thus can donate an unlimited amount of $$ to a campaign, there isn't going to be much change no matter who wins because billionaires like the Koch brothers are going to try to buy what they want and ignore the people.
every since may 25 when he came out with the video on his facebook, ive been very persistant in understanding the truth of our government right now. im gonna make a hange bc of this man, i hope to work with or next to him soon
BERNIE SANDERS YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH , UNFORTUNATELY THE BIG CORPORATIONS DONT LIKE THAT.
The book “Dark Money” by Jane Meyer is amazing. It deep dives into all of this and is truly eye opening. Highly recommend reading it.
You're so badass Bernie. The badass Jedi slaying Sith in your government and country. 🙌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
+Aaron Lecciones Don't you mean "the badass _Sith-slaying Jedi_ in your government and country"? Or maybe "the badass _Jedi, slaying Siths_ in your government and country"? Because, and correct me if I am wrong, what you originally said implies that Bernie is a Jedi slaying _Sith_. Haha.
I love you Bernie, NOBEL wake up and you do your gob right, give him the prize, he is up to good...
Dear Bernie, Please run for President in 2024. America needs you! I believe you will win* It's your time!
Easy to espose these concept when one has NEVER wanted for anything. Bernie was wise to bring this forward, more people should have listened!
we’re still with you bernie! please be ready for 2020!
it sounds like the same things that are going on in England.
They are.
Elitists with sub standard views on morality, humanity and anything involving a conscience that doesn't garner more wealth!
Damn, Koch brothers practicing some Advanced Evil.
EVERY American needs to watch this 100% factual video.
Bernie Sanders would be the first Democratic candidate I've ever voted for in my life, and I hope he gets that nomination.
Bernie explains the issue straightforwardly in words everyone can understand.
Back to the time of C.Dickens. That was a very good description!
Minimum Wage laws are in fact repressive.
I am not american, but it gives me hope to see that there is a guy that stands up for his principles that i would call human. And that he does it consistantly for the last 30 years.
I hope they dont kill him as they usually do with people like that.Go Bernie go
What politicians say to the public, is one thing, but their true values show up on the floor, where they speak directly to the government leaders. This is powerful, and these speeches and quotes need to be shared and meme'd to catch the public eye.
Bernie, you rock!
Bernie you are the boss. I love you:-)
Who knew that the Anti-Christ would be TWO people??
+tiffsaver Thus proving that your definition of the anti-christ is false.
+Bismillah Rabbani
I was being FACETIOUS, you ignorant Christian fanatic.
tiffsaver How you keep getting your summations wrong is unbelievable. I am a Muslim woman, not Christian. Not that it matters in the whole scheme of all that is TRUTHFUL. It would be advisable for you to make relevant statements when commenting in these types of forums. You never know who is reading what you have written.
+Bismillah Rabbani
How can "my summations be wrong" when you speak EXACTLY like a Born Again Christian?? A logical mistake isn't it? The next idiotic thing you did was obliquely chastise me for not knowing that you're a woman, as if I could give a shit. The fact is, I didn't know that Muslims believed in an anti-Christ. But it wouldn't surprise me, because ALL Abrahamic religions (from which Islam stole their entire faith from the Jews) talk the same ignorant, arrogant gibberish since Adam first banged Eve, yet another stupid religious fairytale. Ameen??
tiffsaver And it continues for all the world to see. I pity anyone who suffers from this much hate and utter ignorance. I hope that you will do some studying before you spew your nonsense in the future. You don't have to believe as others do but, it makes sense to not insult over half of the worlds' population because of what they believe. Live your life helping and loving others more. You will feel much better,as it is quite clear that you are suffering in pain and anguish. Healthy people do not need to hate for the sake of hating. I wish you the best that life offers, Ameen!!
I am 63 yrs old have my entire life refused to declare a party. This year I declared Democrat so I can vote in the primaries for Senator Sanders. I feel our country has gone way to far with our super pack politics. Needs you end now.
His speeches should be running on TV more often, I don't think anyone, regardless of how conservative he is, will not see the obvious problems with republican and to a lesser extent democrat policies.
Thank you, Bernie Sanders
Bernie is a hero!!!
best presidential candidate ever!
bernie is a real man - from australia
TO ALL MY FELLOW AMERICANS: If you truly want an amazing man like this to become the leader of this decaying country, please, tell everyone: Teachers, Students, Neighbors, Friends, everyone you can that this man exists, who he is and what he stands for. Spread the word to those ignorant of it!
Bernie Sanders is the only politician I have known in my lifetime - except perhaps John McCain and a few others - who actually speaks in plain english.
Love this guy. My fellow Americans, we are still a smart country! Please don't fuck up this next election. Vote for Bernie Sanders. I'm begging you
Your the man Bern!
Oh my God I can't believe I have never heard about the Koch Brothers until now. I suspected that Bernie Sanders was worth trusting, and now I'm glad I had that suspicion. If it wasn't for how much he has been publicizing this issue, I may have never heard about it. Indeed this sounds like one of America's biggest crises to date, and yet nobody I am close to has ever said one fricking word about it!!!
Bernie for president!
There's a special place in hell for whoever downvoted this.
FUCK YEAH BERNIE! FEEL THE BERN!
calm down you freaking spastic
+Thestealthplatypus nahh I'm just fine being excited when the inspiration strikes me thank you very much.
+Thestealthplatypus People like you make humanity shit. Congrats dude!
+Thestealthplatypus awhhh poor human hindering the progress of humanity. You mad bro? Hahaaaa.
I ain't mad about shit. Let me at that asshole. Spread those chocolate cheeks.
I'm with you all the way, GO BERNIE.
The benevolent Koch Brothers need to run for president and vice president for a brighter economic future; even the poor will benefit the most from their policies
Right wing is holding us back!
