Bernie Sanders has said over and over that America is an oligarchy. Bernie didn't make it as the democratic candidate for president. H.L. Menkin was correct. "Never underestimate the stupidity of the American voter." Seriously.
I'm in Latin, and so we study roman society and America just had their opportunity with their own Tiberius Gracchus and we let it pass. But that's okay, my generation won't have it.
If Trump misses out on the republican nomination and runs as an independent, then Bernie should too. That way he isn't hurting his side running against Hillary since the republican side will have the same thing going on. With independents voting too (they weren't allowed to in most primaries) Bernie should easily beat everyone. Imagine a 4 way general election!!!
I'm just so glad to hear other people saying these things. I'm glad there is a movement, and that now we know there are other people out there feeling these things. Just knowing there is a group of us is empowering, and will help us stand stronger.
The Brits started a sailing boat race in 1851 which was won by an American yacht. For 132 years (roughly) competitors from around the world tried to win the trophy. They always lost. Finally an Australian syndicate won. Why would you give up? What's that saying? Never say never!
the revolution is done unless we all write Bernie name on the ballot if he doesn't run third party.. oh but we must insist that Bernie runs third party.. that is the only way this rev continues .. and I know he will win.. That's why the media ignores Bernie running third party because they know he has a chance to win
I'm not gonna sit down on the couch and vote for the establishment. I'm writing Bernie in on the Nov. ballot if he doesn't end up being nominated by the Dems. And even if he doesn't win the write-in vote, the revolution has just begun. They ain't seen nuthin, yet. #bernieorbust #writeinbernie
Yeah Bernie as an independent candidate. That is what Trump is hoping for! TRump wins! You can't stump the Trump . . . Not with the idiots supporting Bernie.
Cenk is absolutely correct on what will become in the next several years in this country, actually in several other countries as well. I am 60 years old and voted for 40 years, and can tell you that Bernie Sanders is one of the most inspirational and strongest leaders that I seen in my life, whether he wins or not, he tapped into something that is way past due, and inspired real change. - - Ranch Chimp Journal
I'm 50 years old and have never been interested in politics for all of the reasons you listed. I know many other Berners who are over 50. How about a little recognition of the older Sanders supporters? He has lit me up like a Christmas tree! I have volunteered, donated and voted in the primary. I have never done any of those things before. I was born in 1965. My parents weren't the most open minded people, but I had television. I learned love and tolerance from Sesame Street, All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Laugh In and the Smothers Brothers and the national news. I heard songs from Joan Baiz, Jimmy Hendrix and John Lennon. Bernie Sanders is seen as the champion of the young people, but we older people support him, too. I plan on going to Philadelphia in July. I will gladly join hands with the young Sanders supporters in making our presence felt at the convention. If you had asked me a year ago, I would not have had a clue that any candidate could have appealed to me so much.
"We felt the bern, but that's just the beginning theres an inferno on the way" Lets Censk slogan spread as wildfire! Man i love TYT and BERNIE! Just want to hug Bernie what a great human being! Hillary, she makes me wanna cry...
*When people vote for Hillary or Trump, they vote for the Name and the Person. When people vote for Bernie, they vote for the ideas, and ideas don't die with the man. What Sanders preaches is inevitable, it was his role to amass the movement and make the initial push.*
Millions of democrats voted. They said no to universal health care. They said no to fixing various tax loopholes and inversion schemes. They said no to eliminating private prisons. They said no to legalizing pot. They said no to free college. They said no to building coalitions before going to war. They said no to rebuilding bridges and roads which would create 13 million new jobs. The fact that democrats are no longer progressive or liberal could not be clearer to me.
I am afraid most of those were low information voters, educated people tend to vote for Bernie but I agree that the establishment and many democrats are not what the party used to stand for, we have to take it back or create a new one.
California voter registration in 2016 has hit a record high, with Dem registration leading by 185%. Do you think HRC is motivating this flood, or is Bernie pulling in new voters? I suspect the latter is more true, and if so and we get a primary free of shenanigans, one can expect a huge upset. Why do you think HRC has to go hat in hand to Wall Street, corporations, and the wealthy? Is it just easier to raise money that way? No, it's because it would be impossible for her to raise enough money from small donations. She's just not as popular and Bernie, especially out here in the West. We can expect a record turn out at the polls this year, and if the new voter registration is an indication Sen. Sanders is going to take California by a landslide. What if he took California by 85%? That's 85% of 500 delegates, or 425 delegates. That's yuge. That would be a game changer.
Thanks For Cali. They are our Future. And the rest of us in other states are stepping up to be Delegates, State Delegates for Bernie, and making plans for PHILADELPHIA!! We are on Fire!
Whatever happens Bernie Sanders campaign has raised the bar of political awareness in the US to dizzying heights compared to what it was. He'll go down in history as one of the true great activists of America.
Brilliant analysis and exactly why you, Cenk, should NOT vote for Hillary just because she's the more seemingly 'sane' between her and Trump. That is still settling for the Establishment.
+MajorKeys They covered him a whole twenty minutes in 2015. Well after early ballots and changes to voter registration needed to be done. I'm in Jersey, I still have my vote to cast and so do many others here... we also have a large amount of delegates... We do however need a miracle and some hard work and prayers to whatever is the deity of choice...
Yes, there's a lot of voting left to do, and there are a lot of voters waiting for their chance to vote for Bernie. He'll go to the convention with a lot of delegates and representing millions & millions of voters. Bernie voters should know that without us, the DNC has no power. Ask Al Gore.
I never cared about politics until I saw bernie speak. when he speaks it makes me weep. I am always moved by his common sense.. and that says alot.. to be moved by something that should be seen as common...but it isn't. . especially from politicians.
I will say it yet again - The Sanders "revolution" needs to get involved at the state and congressional level - Stop talking about 2020 - Think state & congress in 2016, 2018 & 2020
+EmmittBrownBTTF1 Or and Neo said at the end of the first matrix... "I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end, I came here to tell you how this is going to begin."
This is a question to the Conservatives and Hillary Voters: ''After listening to Bernie Sanders, what is it about Bernie that you don't agree?'' He wants to fight the establishment, to bring back real democracy, where the government do what the people want and not the other way around. Bernie knows it won't be easy, but like in all revolutions, we need to start the revolution instead of going along like sheeps.
The Princeton-Northwestern study Cenk referred to really is amazing: talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/princeton-scholar-demise-of-democracy-america-tpm-interview
yep, because Socialism worked so well for Greece didn't it. The new social media will be talking to the folks in the bread line you've been standing in for three days.

+G Hernandez Um, listing countries where the people are inslaved by their government does not make your case. I assume you are young. I used to feel the same way. When you actually have career and no longer have just a job, you will understand the concept and meaning of the Constitution. You will stop being a sheep and start being a wolf and eventually become a sheep dog.
If Bernie doesn't get the nod at the convention I will be voting for Jill Stein. For me it's a coin toss between the two, not a compromise. No way in hell will I ever vote for Hillary.
New progressives! Please, please stop using age as an identifier. As an older middle-aged progressive I'm feeling pushed out of my own movement. There are many many just like me who have railed against the machine for generations. We have been lonely and virtually silenced. We welcome this enthusiasm with open arms, and yes keep the fire lit most importantly when it's time to elect senators and representatives. This fight ends at the top but must start at the base of the pyramid to enact real change. Local elections affect change that you can taste, state elections affect politics that the nation tastes. Every election is vital to take the time and study the candidate's positions and not just vote like a party drone. True Progressive politics starts with using the brain.
I've spent >45 yrs. watching the losses.. One of the worst heartbreaks was losing Bobby Kennedy. I'm energized and hopeful with the movement around Bernie. I'm upset that he isn't winning but not heartbroken because I know that it doesn't stop here. No Hillary. Life is too short to keep voting for the lesser of two evils; that's what got us to our present situation. Let the sh*t hit the fan; people won't take it.
+GG I don't think so. not this time. we would get a significant amount of rebulicans who won't vote for trump, plus half Dems and near all independents
kandysman86 Definitely a gamble. We also don't know how the Republican convention will play out, and/or if they end up selecting Trump as a candidate and rally around him. Near all independents is a stretch without data.
I'm so tired of choosing the lesser of two evils. It makes me wonder if Mark Twain was right when he said, "If voting made any difference, the government wouldn't let you do it."
Please guys- we can't vote for Hillary, with this defeat. let's end this 2-party system. Ask Bernie to join forces with the Green Party. End the 2-party system #EnoughisEnough
no matter what we must write in Bernie name in the general election.. if we don't this revolution will end.. Hillary is a complete neocon with a D in front of her name.. #nevercrookedclinton.. Bernie will win if he runs third party . the media will never say that because the media wants Hillary and the media is proven liars and treasonist bastards.. anyone will be better for us than Hillary.. Hell even Trump will because he will bring back jobs.. Hillary is paid to keep them over seas.. And that's a fact
The two party system is unbeatable. It's the finely polished end product of centuries of fptp disappointment and disillusionment. What we need to do is find/develop a new voting system, there is a youtuber called cgp grey who very nicely explained the problems with our voting system using jungle animals, I think he was on the mark with the vids he made... Basically with the system we have in place now, any third party candidates who enter the race and gain momentum will hurt the bigger party that people most agree with and help the party that they most disagree with... Like, if a 3rd party candidate came in with democratic ideals and gains momentum, democratic voters would jump ship from the party to vote for them, cutting into the democrat's votes. The republican however wouldn't take as big of a loss, and would win the election. Sorry if I'm rambling or not making sense... Just watch cgp grey's video on fptp. He explains it better that I could...
+Mike Vietmeier, I am aware that the party will split the vote, and most likely let the Republican nominee win. That's a price I am willing to pay- because this opportunity is one of a life time to let another party emerge from either side of the politcal spectrum: conservatives and liberals. We haven't had this discussion of possibly voting for a third party in centuries. This is the election were we let the parties know that they we can hold them accountable for this corrupt campaign finance, primary process, and many more. Bernie is right, agree or disagree with his beliefs, but we can't get anything done until we get big money out of politics. INCLUDING CORPORATE MEDIA.
+Craig Rikihana Hillary is way more powerful than FBI at the Moment... Do you think she gives a Damn about FBI... FBI cant do nothing to her , just yet. Sad reality .... Revolution is brewing up in in USA which they are scared of not FBI
Right? I mean a hard corps Marxist got elected twice and another old school Marxist and open Communist sympathizer is a primary candidate. Starting to wonder if I ate the wrong kind of mushroom...
+Arline Taylor I didnt say hes a Communist, I said hes an old school Marxist and Communist sympathizer, two indisputable facts, if you actually listen to what the man says about himself. It seems as if his fans dont really have any respect for him, they just see him as an old fool to take advantage of.
#VoterSuppressionForHillary #VoterRightsForBernie2016 When people can freely vote for whoever they want in an open primary election then Bernie Sanders consistently wins with Democrats and Independents. However, when there is Voter suppression and restricted closed-voting primary elections where a lot of people lose their right to vote, then Hillary Clinton wins in those oppressed elections. #BernTheWitch2016
Please don't generalize about the older generation. A vast number of us have been waiting most of our lives for an ethical candidate like Bernie Sanders.
+cutItout America NOW is better, to have Intelligence sitting IN the White House who care for ALL people, but it is NOT never. This repetative cheating, and manipulating the news in social groups and establishment media is only pissing the people off more, and cementing out resolve to remove the status quote at the city, country, state, and Congressional level. WE HAVE POWER in NUMBERS. ~~ NEVER forget THAT. ~~ if not we'd still be ruled by Britain, right?
+rylee gassin We can't even take care of our vets but we can give billions to countries that hate us. If you want to know the real Barnie Sanders research the VA scandal. That's the kind of man these people are voting for.
So, you are posting a glorified BLOG website as your main source? x This is what the dumbing of America has come to. Too lazy to go to the actual site at Congress.gov to look at all the Veteran bills Sanders has written over the years and actually track down WHO voted NO on them, or too damn stupid to know how to do it? You younger generation's lack of common sense and logic is down right scary. Learn to recognize truth by going to the source of it.
rylee gassin Maybe if you spent some time on the computer "fact checking" in the proper places you wouldn't sound so stupid. Job history is out there for intelligent people to see: Headstart teacher, carpentry, and writer and film producer of educational material sold to schools. Apparently you dropped out or your school didn't buy any.
As a young man, my father was a progressive activist. He stood against the Vietnam war, against nuclear proliferation, against apartheid, etc. and for the past 40 years or so, he's learned that every candidate he supports is destined to lose or be blocked out by money. He talks about this jokingly, something self-deprecating almost. You can tell he's lost his expectation that anything will improve. There's a deep grain of pessimism in every political discussion he has. But... Despite all that, despite the let-downs and the "They probably won't win."'s, *he has never stopped voting.* I've seen him go through pouring rain without an umbrella, straight out from work, just to reach a polling station. Solely because he thinks it's the right thing to do. I'm proud to be his son. I'd do anything to give him a progressive outcome for once in his life. I can only imagine how it is for people who aren't as habit-driven as him.
I'm an older guy from a little country in the South Pacific - New Zealand - who strongly believes that the United States, indeed the world, NEEDS Bernie Sanders. Why? Simple. His politics are "people first" politics. Let me explain. There's two kinds of politics: The individual is more important than the whole (If the individual is strong, then the whole will be strong.) This is the mantra of the right. The other kind of political dogma - to which I subscribe - is this: Look after the body and the soul follows OR look after the whole and the individual thrives. We, here in NZ, are going through the same kind of crap (in a minute form) that you in the US have been going through for decades. For example, water in NZ is NOT owned by anyone, but anyone can apply to their local authority for the right to take water for their commercial use, pay a processing fee of $500 p.a., and use the water how they wish. So, a Chinese company comes to NZ, buys a water right, bottles 140,000,000 litres per year and sells the bottles water in China for $1.50 per bottle, making a quarter of a billion dollars per year for a $500 investment. But hold on to your braces a bit. The company is called Oravida. One of its directors is the former leader of the National party (Jenny Shiplee) - your equivalent of the Republicans - and another is the husband of a Cabinet Minister in the current National government. So now do you understand why Bernie's message is not just important for the US. It resonates around the world in so-called Liberal Socialist Democracies like ours. That's why I am really disappointed that Clinton is going to go up against Trump and one of them is going to be President. I'm fearful that Bernie's message will get buried in the avalanche of crap that is to come and the 1%ers can breathe a sigh of relief that American politics has survived another McGovern onslaught!!!!!!!!!!!!!! America: DON'T LET IT HAPPEN!
+Martin Cameron I agree that the whole world needs Bernie. I'm from Canada, which in a lot of ways is like your beautiful country of New Zealand. Many here in Canada love Bernie, and have been inspired by him and his message. I think that this would have been a rare opportunity for Americans, and indeed the whole world to have this kind of leader. I hope that the movement continues, and for all our sake we will see his like again.
+xvx4848 Because it means trump is extremely likely to get in. I have to say America has become a joke. You get to choose between Mussolini (Trump) and Bush 3.0 (Hillary)... I really hope you guys build that wall. Mexico will need it.
+Mathias Signebøen the movement existed before Bernie Sanders he gave them a voice a platform and a slogan and if Bernie loses he'll be the second most powerful Democratic states
+Aggiesgigem I would agree but one of those candidates is Donald Trump in the other is Hillary Clinton so I think you're wrong people will still flock to Bernie Sanders after this campaign
there's another important factor no-one's realized. Sander's has been around long enough to have lived through key moments of some of these past movements so he brings that experience to the table for younger generations to learn from
Time to vote Green Party. Bernie started the revolution, we can't let it die. Not voting for Hillary in the general. She hasn’t earned my vote. I wanna break the two-party system!
+MariNate “Nate Smith” I'm a feminist and I support Bernie. Hillary is much more toxic to women in the long run, but I guess they didn't tell you that on TV. You're buying into corporate propaganda - I would be so ashamed of myself if I were you.
+Justin Rice Lol, not a Clinton troll. I'm so sick of you Bernie Bros saying anyone who states facts is a "troll" you're the reason why people have those "go cry in your safe space" stereotypes about liberals.
Exit Strategy? #StillSanders 1) Stay in through convention in Philadelphia in late July #StillSanders 2) IF, get nomination #StillSanders 3) if not: a) #Independent? #StillSanders b) #WriteIn? #StillSanders c) #Progressive? #StillSanders? d) #GoGreen? #StillSanders? e) #WhoKnew? #StillSanders f) #OtherBlueMustDo? #NO2GOP? #DumpDrumpf!
A Clinton presidency will slow down a revolution, but it won't stop it. Our current socioeconomic system isn't built to endure. People cannot be kept perpetually ignorant. The youth inspired by Bernie will never accept less now. Bernie deserves to win, he's worked insanely hard and is a gem among politicians. I will always love this guy. Don't lose hope or ever give up people, this is a lifelong battle. Educate yourself to the highest degree possible and educate others as well. Bernie's campaign, though unprecedented and amazing, may have had to bear the brunt of a plutocratic vanguard. Wear them down. Fight smarter. Never, ever yield. Never become stupid, never bow down, never settle, never sell out.
Voting for Bernie no matter what. He is the only candidate who can bring the revolution. Where I see it as Hilary wanting a job, Bernie wants change and I wholeheartedly support his cause. I will write it in if I have to, but Bernie WILL recieve my vote. I encourage you all to do the same if that's what it takes
The next progressive candidate better have black skin, or they won't make it through the closed Democratic primaries against an establishment candidate with a familiar name.
If you are a fellow Californian, please remember to register as a Democrat or No Party Preference by the deadline, May 23rd. If you do not register by then you can not vote for Bernie. #FeelTheBern
Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, John Adams. the first three presidents all had one thing in common. they believed it was the people's jon to protect their rights and liberties. Bernie has lit the flame of real revolution. we must strive to unite behind not just sanders, but unite behind the children we need to save and behind the future we can make
Sanders supporters know the truth and who is best for America. We should write him in come November if he is not on the ballot. If we do this, he will be President no matter what. Be the revolution.
Bernie Sanders is one of the greatest patriots in modern history if not in all of US history. He put his life on the line over and over. He was such a target for venom that it took a powerfully brave/courageous and gentle man to take what he did for all of us.

+Ake Hilding There are already a dozen alternative left wing parties to pick from. The Justice Party would be the best shot.
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness...
My favorite four! Love you guys... #FeelTheBern
Thank you Cenk. Bernie supporters will get the respect they deserve in life.
This is a question to the Conservatives and Hillary Voters: ''After listening to Bernie Sanders, what is it about Bernie that you don't agree?'' He wants to fight the establishment, to bring back real democracy, where the government do what the people want and not the other way around. Bernie knows it won't be easy, but like in all revolutions, we need to start the revolution instead of going along like sheeps.
he should run as an independent for crying out loud!!!
Trump will beat Hillary regardless, imho....
I strongly doubt I'll be voting for her and I don't think I'm alone in this opinion either.....
+Brian Ring I don't know.. Hillary cheats at the polls.
Apathy is a chain meant to bind you into inaction. Don't let it.
The Princeton-Northwestern study Cenk referred to really is amazing: talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/princeton-scholar-demise-of-democracy-america-tpm-interview
I will always think of Bernie as my President.
I'm no longer feeling the Bern... I'm on FIRE!!! ...take down the establishment
yep, because Socialism worked so well for Greece didn't it. The new social media will be talking to the folks in the bread line you've been standing in for three days.
yep, because Socialism worked so well for Greece didn't it. The new social media will be talking to the folks in the bread line you've been standing in for three days.
+Nicholas Austin I like how everyone against Bernie always mentions Greece, but never Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg, etc.
+G Hernandez Um, listing countries where the people are inslaved by their government does not make your case. I assume you are young. I used to feel the same way. When you actually have career and no longer have just a job, you will understand the concept and meaning of the Constitution. You will stop being a sheep and start being a wolf and eventually become a sheep dog.
If Bernie doesn't get the nod at the convention I will be voting for Jill Stein. For me it's a coin toss between the two, not a compromise. No way in hell will I ever vote for Hillary.
Never feel conflicted for doing what you believe is right. A moral vote is never a wasted vote.
Kris Hardy Hear, hear.
how did he know I was playing video games and smoking pot
kinect.... or cell phone cameras 😂😂😂😂
my thoughts exactly.
New progressives! Please, please stop using age as an identifier. As an older middle-aged progressive I'm feeling pushed out of my own movement. There are many many just like me who have railed against the machine for generations. We have been lonely and virtually silenced. We welcome this enthusiasm with open arms, and yes keep the fire lit most importantly when it's time to elect senators and representatives. This fight ends at the top but must start at the base of the pyramid to enact real change. Local elections affect change that you can taste, state elections affect politics that the nation tastes. Every election is vital to take the time and study the candidate's positions and not just vote like a party drone. True Progressive politics starts with using the brain.
keep laughing
When all that remains is the poor and the rich, there will always be revolution.
Cenk you need to take this show on the road and go from place to place bringing in progressive speakers to talk to the U.S. about the movement
Thank Cenk for putting it into perspective.
Light the fires of revolution, and feel the Bern.
Do another Democracy Springs over the summer when college students can travel!
Sadly, this warning shot needed to come 10 years ago or more.... I am afraid we are running out of time on this...
This has been fomenting for decades not years
America lost the first major battle of the Revolution and won the war. So why cant we do the same
I've spent >45 yrs. watching the losses.. One of the worst heartbreaks was losing Bobby Kennedy. I'm energized and hopeful with the movement around Bernie. I'm upset that he isn't winning but not heartbroken because I know that it doesn't stop here. No Hillary. Life is too short to keep voting for the lesser of two evils; that's what got us to our present situation. Let the sh*t hit the fan; people won't take it.
Bernie for independent party 2016!!!! He would thrive by detaching himself from DNC
+DiscoBalls69 No, Bernie will not run as an independent, he said it himself during the start of the campaign
+DiscoBalls69 He would split the democratic vote, giving the republicans a greater (and easier) chance of winning.
+GG I don't think so. not this time. we would get a significant amount of rebulicans who won't vote for trump, plus half Dems and near all independents
kandysman86
Definitely a gamble. We also don't know how the Republican convention will play out, and/or if they end up selecting Trump as a candidate and rally around him. Near all independents is a stretch without data.
+ChubbyGuy1 he should go all the way through California to the convention but if he doesn't get it he should run as an independent
There needs to be systemic change if you want the country and the world to be a better place. Capitalism is the root cause of government impotency.
its not the system, its the people
I'm so tired of choosing the lesser of two evils. It makes me wonder if Mark Twain was right when he said, "If voting made any difference, the government wouldn't let you do it."
@TheYoungTurks do you think we have until 2020? The people and the planet cannot handle the likes of hillary and what she stands for anymore.
hate to be superficial but you're pretty
Cenk run for president in 2020
Cenk vs Kayne 2020
He was born in Turkey
+oneworld24 Ted was born in Canada
thats a terrible idea
He will start a new ottoman empire which is his dream. Those armenians and kurds better start hiding when that happends.
Please guys- we can't vote for Hillary, with this defeat.
let's end this 2-party system.
Ask Bernie to join forces with the Green Party.
End the 2-party system
#EnoughisEnough
1
+Juan Flores-Salazar End electoral college. System, where somebody with fewer votes can win, is fucked up system.
no matter what we must write in Bernie name in the general election.. if we don't this revolution will end.. Hillary is a complete neocon with a D in front of her name.. #nevercrookedclinton.. Bernie will win if he runs third party . the media will never say that because the media wants Hillary and the media is proven liars and treasonist bastards.. anyone will be better for us than Hillary.. Hell even Trump will because he will bring back jobs.. Hillary is paid to keep them over seas.. And that's a fact
The two party system is unbeatable. It's the finely polished end product of centuries of fptp disappointment and disillusionment. What we need to do is find/develop a new voting system, there is a youtuber called cgp grey who very nicely explained the problems with our voting system using jungle animals, I think he was on the mark with the vids he made...
Basically with the system we have in place now, any third party candidates who enter the race and gain momentum will hurt the bigger party that people most agree with and help the party that they most disagree with... Like, if a 3rd party candidate came in with democratic ideals and gains momentum, democratic voters would jump ship from the party to vote for them, cutting into the democrat's votes. The republican however wouldn't take as big of a loss, and would win the election. Sorry if I'm rambling or not making sense... Just watch cgp grey's video on fptp. He explains it better that I could...
+Mike Vietmeier,
I am aware that the party will split the vote, and most likely let the Republican nominee win. That's a price I am willing to pay- because this opportunity is one of a life time to let another party emerge from either side of the politcal spectrum: conservatives and liberals.
We haven't had this discussion of possibly voting for a third party in centuries.
This is the election were we let the parties know that they we can hold them accountable for this corrupt campaign finance, primary process, and many more.
Bernie is right, agree or disagree with his beliefs, but we can't get anything done until we get big money out of politics. INCLUDING CORPORATE MEDIA.
"We felt the Bern, but that's just the beginning. There's an Inferno on the way."
Awesome.
Hang around Bernie, the FBI still might give you an early Christmas present ...
+Craig Rikihana Hillary is way more powerful than FBI at the Moment... Do you think she gives a Damn about FBI... FBI cant do nothing to her , just yet. Sad reality .... Revolution is brewing up in in USA which they are scared of not FBI
BERNIE IS STILL FIGHTING AND STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED IN POLITICS.
+Rita Butler Right on, Rita! Also, Hillary is still under FBI investigation! Anything could happen! Let's hope it's a Bernie Thang : )
Right? I mean a hard corps Marxist got elected twice and another old school Marxist and open Communist sympathizer is a primary candidate. Starting to wonder if I ate the wrong kind of mushroom...
+Dave Where to you get your facts? CNN? Fox?
+Dave, yes I think you are on Mushrooms. Bernie is not a communist😀
+Arline Taylor
I didnt say hes a Communist, I said hes an old school Marxist and Communist sympathizer, two indisputable facts, if you actually listen to what the man says about himself. It seems as if his fans dont really have any respect for him, they just see him as an old fool to take advantage of.
You're dead right about Bernie standing up.
#VoterSuppressionForHillary #VoterRightsForBernie2016
When people can freely vote for whoever they want in an open primary election then Bernie Sanders consistently wins with Democrats and Independents.
However, when there is Voter suppression and restricted closed-voting primary elections where a lot of people lose their right to vote, then Hillary Clinton wins in those oppressed elections. #BernTheWitch2016
The elites better ride their seats while they can. We comin.
Please don't generalize about the older generation. A vast number of us have been waiting most of our lives for an ethical candidate like Bernie Sanders.
When the tide turns, is that when you @CenkUygur finally run for president?!
quick fix,lobbying should be considered treason
Yes.
it's time.
This isn't about Bernie.
This is about THE PEOPLE.
It may literally be Now...
or
never.
Go Bernie
#BernieArmyUnite
#NotMeUs
+cutItout America NOW is better, to have Intelligence sitting IN the White House who care for ALL people, but it is NOT never.
This repetative cheating, and manipulating the news in social groups and establishment media is only pissing the people off more, and cementing out resolve to remove the status quote at the city, country, state, and Congressional level. WE HAVE POWER in NUMBERS. ~~ NEVER forget THAT. ~~ if not we'd still be ruled by Britain, right?
+rylee gassin We can't even take care of our vets but we can give billions to countries that hate us. If you want to know the real Barnie Sanders research the VA scandal. That's the kind of man these people are voting for.
You don't even know the man's name. If you want ME to look for a scandal that doesn't exist.... post the URL of it.
So, you are posting a glorified BLOG website as your main source? x
This is what the dumbing of America has come to. Too lazy to go to the actual site at Congress.gov to look at all the Veteran bills Sanders has written over the years and actually track down WHO voted NO on them, or too damn stupid to know how to do it?
You younger generation's lack of common sense and logic is down right scary.
Learn to recognize truth by going to the source of it.
rylee gassin Maybe if you spent some time on the computer "fact checking" in the proper places you wouldn't sound so stupid.
Job history is out there for intelligent people to see: Headstart teacher, carpentry, and writer and film producer of educational material sold to schools.
Apparently you dropped out or your school didn't buy any.
As a young man, my father was a progressive activist. He stood against the Vietnam war, against nuclear proliferation, against apartheid, etc. and for the past 40 years or so, he's learned that every candidate he supports is destined to lose or be blocked out by money.
He talks about this jokingly, something self-deprecating almost. You can tell he's lost his expectation that anything will improve. There's a deep grain of pessimism in every political discussion he has. But...
Despite all that, despite the let-downs and the "They probably won't win."'s, *he has never stopped voting.* I've seen him go through pouring rain without an umbrella, straight out from work, just to reach a polling station. Solely because he thinks it's the right thing to do.
I'm proud to be his son. I'd do anything to give him a progressive outcome for once in his life. I can only imagine how it is for people who aren't as habit-driven as him.
That was beautiful
Look at the defeatists in comments so oblivious to the fact that they are the ones being referenced here.
WHY ARE WE WAITING FOR 2020? WIN NOW!!!!!!! IF BERNIE IS NOT THE DEM NOMINEE, HE SHOULD RUN AS INDEPENDENT!!!
exactly
The 2 party system charade is overdue to end. Tell TYT to end their mimicking of the corporate media 2 party system charade narrative.
Dude, you obviously have no idea what Socialism is do you.
doing so would hand the nomination to trump
Agreed, nobody has proven to me that he and Jill Stein running in the Green Party cannot beat both filthy Dem / Rep candidates.
I'm an older guy from a little country in the South Pacific - New Zealand - who strongly believes that the United States, indeed the world, NEEDS Bernie Sanders. Why? Simple. His politics are "people first" politics. Let me explain. There's two kinds of politics: The individual is more important than the whole (If the individual is strong, then the whole will be strong.) This is the mantra of the right. The other kind of political dogma - to which I subscribe - is this: Look after the body and the soul follows OR look after the whole and the individual thrives. We, here in NZ, are going through the same kind of crap (in a minute form) that you in the US have been going through for decades. For example, water in NZ is NOT owned by anyone, but anyone can apply to their local authority for the right to take water for their commercial use, pay a processing fee of $500 p.a., and use the water how they wish. So, a Chinese company comes to NZ, buys a water right, bottles 140,000,000 litres per year and sells the bottles water in China for $1.50 per bottle, making a quarter of a billion dollars per year for a $500 investment. But hold on to your braces a bit. The company is called Oravida. One of its directors is the former leader of the National party (Jenny Shiplee) - your equivalent of the Republicans - and another is the husband of a Cabinet Minister in the current National government.
So now do you understand why Bernie's message is not just important for the US. It resonates around the world in so-called Liberal Socialist Democracies like ours.
That's why I am really disappointed that Clinton is going to go up against Trump and one of them is going to be President. I'm fearful that Bernie's message will get buried in the avalanche of crap that is to come and the 1%ers can breathe a sigh of relief that American politics has survived another McGovern onslaught!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
America: DON'T LET IT HAPPEN!
+Martin Cameron My name is Germany and I approve this message.
+Martin Cameron I agree that the whole world needs Bernie. I'm from Canada, which in a lot of ways is like your beautiful country of New Zealand. Many here in Canada love Bernie, and have been inspired by him and his message. I think that this would have been a rare opportunity for Americans, and indeed the whole world to have this kind of leader. I hope that the movement continues, and for all our sake we will see his like again.
Its #BernienorBust And yes, I understand that means Bernie or Trump. 4 Years of Trump or 8 Years of Hilary... Whats worse?
+Keith Kareem Another Bush or Cruz would be better than a Clinton.
Still not voting for Hillary and the sad part is, I think millions of Americans feel the same.
+Chibi Cosmos Why's that sad? I'm proud to not vote for Hillary!
+xvx4848 Because it means trump is extremely likely to get in. I have to say America has become a joke. You get to choose between Mussolini (Trump) and Bush 3.0 (Hillary)... I really hope you guys build that wall. Mexico will need it.
+Chibi Cosmos Especially after she continues to steal votes and laughs about it all the way to the bank.
xvx4848
I'm proud not to vote for her but it's like woebaby said. Dark days are ahead if we dont get a third party candidate
Hey John, your 5 year old brother needs his laptop back to do his homework.
if it works!?!?
jcornejo1031 hahaha, you got me. I should have written "10" or something like that. I guess that my son being 5 makes me biased towards that age.
''First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you,
then you win.'' -Mahatma Gandhi
+Mega VHS Exactly how the #TRUMP2016 campaign is playing out!
Bernie still has a tiny chance he could win, please don't totally give up yet...ay? Stranger things have happened... Its not over til its over....
+moon lee it not over till the fat lady sings! ( and I don't hear Hillary singing lol^^)
I'll tell you like this the Bernie moment will live on forever you will hear people 10 years from now 20 years from now screaming feel the Bern
+Aggiesgigem haha whether you like it or not when you start speaking about gettin money outta politics you're feeling the bern
+Mathias Signebøen the movement existed before Bernie Sanders he gave them a voice a platform and a slogan and if Bernie loses he'll be the second most powerful Democratic states
+Aggiesgigem I would agree but one of those candidates is Donald Trump in the other is Hillary Clinton so I think you're wrong people will still flock to Bernie Sanders after this campaign
there's another important factor no-one's realized. Sander's has been around long enough to have lived through key moments of some of these past movements so he brings that experience to the table for younger generations to learn from
most media knows of Bernie records, but remember there is a black out on him
Bernie Sanders and his message will not be forgotten. The "Bern" will continue.
Bern forever.
If Trump runs independent. Run Bernie Independent.
Time to vote Green Party. Bernie started the revolution, we can't let it die. Not voting for Hillary in the general. She hasn’t earned my vote. I wanna break the two-party system!
You are so selfish, I'm so tired of you Bernie bros.
+MariNate “Nate Smith” I'm a feminist and I support Bernie. Hillary is much more toxic to women in the long run, but I guess they didn't tell you that on TV. You're buying into corporate propaganda - I would be so ashamed of myself if I were you.
Jake brandon Thanks. The way Clinton supporters talk, they act like we don't have the right to vote the way we desire.
+Justin Rice Lol, not a Clinton troll. I'm so sick of you Bernie Bros saying anyone who states facts is a "troll" you're the reason why people have those "go cry in your safe space" stereotypes about liberals.
+Jake brandon It is right, I never said it wasn't, it's just a wasted vote.
Exit Strategy? #StillSanders
1) Stay in through convention in Philadelphia in late July #StillSanders
2) IF, get nomination #StillSanders
3) if not:

b) #WriteIn? #StillSanders
c) #Progressive? #StillSanders?
d) #GoGreen? #StillSanders?
e) #WhoKnew? #StillSanders
f) #OtherBlueMustDo? #NO2GOP? #DumpDrumpf!
Bernie should run Independent. The people are with you Bernie.
Cause Im "feeling the BERN!!!"
A Clinton presidency will slow down a revolution, but it won't stop it. Our current socioeconomic system isn't built to endure. People cannot be kept perpetually ignorant. The youth inspired by Bernie will never accept less now. Bernie deserves to win, he's worked insanely hard and is a gem among politicians. I will always love this guy. Don't lose hope or ever give up people, this is a lifelong battle. Educate yourself to the highest degree possible and educate others as well. Bernie's campaign, though unprecedented and amazing, may have had to bear the brunt of a plutocratic vanguard. Wear them down. Fight smarter. Never, ever yield. Never become stupid, never bow down, never settle, never sell out.
RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT
I wish he could, but it's too late in many states to get on the ballot. Hopefully he'll VP to Jill Stein of the green party if he doesn't make it.
+Dustin Zilbauer shave that mustache man, please lol. Super fuckboyish
Dustin Zilbauer It's not over, Cali still has almost 500 delegates on it's own. There's a few other states in between to help close the gap also.
Voting for Bernie no matter what. He is the only candidate who can bring the revolution. Where I see it as Hilary wanting a job, Bernie wants change and I wholeheartedly support his cause. I will write it in if I have to, but Bernie WILL recieve my vote. I encourage you all to do the same if that's what it takes
wolfpack all day
I'll never vote HilLIARy.
The next progressive candidate better have black skin, or they won't make it through the closed Democratic primaries against an establishment candidate with a familiar name.
A black woman who's actually progressive and uncorrupted.
+krazyknva78 A cross dressing pansexual would be nice.
Tony DiMeo Nah, a cross dressing pansexual would get blown out in the early Southern primaries even worse than Bernie was.
If you are a fellow Californian, please remember to register as a Democrat or No Party Preference by the deadline, May 23rd. If you do not register by then you can not vote for Bernie. #FeelTheBern
Is Clinton going to get indicted?
+Edwin Rivera (KTF0) hope so! ;D
+Edwin Rivera (KTF0) As head of the executive branch, Obama ultimately controls the FBI, and Obama supports Hillary, so I'd be very surprised...
+Adam M. I doubt Obama would do anything about it. All he cares about are his golf swings.
Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, John Adams. the first three presidents all had one thing in common. they believed it was the people's jon to protect their rights and liberties. Bernie has lit the flame of real revolution. we must strive to unite behind not just sanders, but unite behind the children we need to save and behind the future we can make
bernie 2016
Sanders supporters know the truth and who is best for America. We should write him in come November if he is not on the ballot. If we do this, he will be President no matter what. Be the revolution.
I like it!!
Now when I have political conversations with people and they ask "Hey who you gonna vote for?" I'll be like "There's no one to vote for.."
Bernie got me into politics
atta boy! Same here! He started growing on me half a year ago when I saw his video on the lake shore in Vermont I think it was? :)
Bernie Sanders is one of the greatest patriots in modern history if not in all of US history. He put his life on the line over and over. He was such a target for venom that it took a powerfully brave/courageous and gentle man to take what he did for all of us.
