Bernie 2020

[@Alvicbar]

Bernie is a straight up G.

[@KuyonReim159]

Thanks DNC... this man would have been our president if you has just stayed the heck out of it and not rigged it. This is why I love Bernie. You can tell from the way he speaks this is not a job for him.. this is his passion he deeply cares about the American people and the fate of our country. Keep fighting Bernie... still feeling the bern and will till he is elected president and beyond that as well.

[@williamryan7403]

Kuyon. The DNC did what the donors told them too. The same donors own both parties. They own the Military and the justice system too.

[@KuyonReim159]

William Ryan, That is my point the donors control the government. We do not live in a democracy we live in an oligarchy.. or very near to a full on one. The 1% and donors are scared of Bernie because they know he will shake things up so bad for them they will lose their strangle hold on the government.

[@473weasel]

Thank you Bernie.

[@gwluck713]

Preach Bernie, keep fighting this horrible bill.

[@LazarheaD]

Bernie better get behind Justice Democrats now.

[@johnedwards3489]

GO BERNIE GO!!!

[@brianmurphy5313]

Every American citizen, old enough to sit still, should watch this throughout

[@wanderfulllife2407]

Thank you, Bernie!!!!!!

[@johnbidochka2795]

When are American lawmakers going to learn that health care for all is NOT a partisan issue, health care should be a right BY LAW, and anyone who thinks otherwise does not care about the common good, and is harboring a corrupt agenda. What a waste of time and effort. You will never have a clear-thinking, energetic and productive economy if you continue to marginalize millions of people by playing politics with health care. Get it together, people, or you will pay for this in the long haul.

[@OnlyTeaGuru]

how about we get single payer going

[@JollyOldCanuck]

Republicans have a majority within the Senate and House. There is almost a zero percent chance that a Medicare for all bill will be passed.

[@samirsaweras231]

At the very least the argument for Single Payer forces them to leave Obamacare alone.

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

Kate Hudson No the problem with healthcare is that we have too much government regulation, the insurance companies can't provide competitive plans since they are forced to include a whole bunch of junk in their plans no one will use (for example, women's Heath coverage for single men and vice versa). Also Obama undermines the principal of insurance, the more risk you have the more you pay. With Obamacare all the healthy people who don't use insurance pay for the sick people that constantly use it. This is the opposite to every other insurance (ie I don't charge safe drivers more to make up for the bad ones, I charge the bad ones more cause they are higher risk) and ends up raising costs for most people and lowering it for the few. Also while not denying for preexisting conditions may sound good, it actually ends up hurting insurance companies cause people will buy it when they get sick and then cancel it later. This happened to AAA for a long time (with people signing up right when they have to get towed and then not renewing) and it almost bankrupted them!

[@woofwolf435]

+Adam Smith here's the thing. Insurance should _not_ be for profit. If you allow people to get rich off of charging healthy people money, and sick people even _more_ money, you are defeating the entire point of healthcare. the point of healthcare is to get help to people who need it, but aren't rich enough to just buy whatever doctors/medicine/ surgeries may be needed. How are you going to do that if the people who can't afford all that, can't afford health insurance either? Single payer (more commonly referred to as 'socialist healthcare' by the right) has not only _proven_ (this is not opinion, there is hard evidence to support this) to be cheaper, but also more effective than what we have had from the beginning of this country (America spends more on healthcare than any other modern nation, and we get far worse quality of care. Our healthcare system ranks 23'rd in the world, just barely above Saudi Arabia. A totalitarian theocracy in the middle of a civil war.)

[@dencitymccartney2485]

How can anyone expect Fairness and Decency on a planet of sleeping people?

[@SamKnause]

I love Bernie !!!!

[@brendanb3218]

why is this guy "radical" for not wanting 22 million people to lose their health insurance.

[@williamryan7403]

He's a "Radical" to jack offs like Hank Williams Jr and Ted Nugent and Paul Ryan.

[@cigdamagelungs]

wont pass, praying it wont

[@TL-ds8ux]

Don't just pray. Make calls. Canvass. Do something!

[@cigdamagelungs]

I called john McCain and gave him hell

[@pet3590]

We won

Fighting the good fight.

“The greatest country, the richest country, is not that which has the most capitalists, monopolists, immense grabbings, vast fortunes, with its sad, sad soil of extreme, degrading, damning poverty, but the land in which there are the most homesteads, freeholds - where wealth does not show such contrasts high and low, where all men have enough - a modest living- and no man is made possessor beyond the sane and beautiful necessities.” -WALT WHITMAN, AMERICAN POET (1819-1892)

[@the.amazing.spatterman]

What a man

[@pet3590]

He's still fighting for us

[@carolyn_r]

I know. Reelection now!

[@jackmeoff8953]

No he is fighting for crooked lawyers

[@maxwellmontgomery3421]

Sameopet Yeah, well it's a shame he was fighting the Democrats during the election season.

[@jackmeoff8953]

lpr think Eric Conn.

[@newb387]

Agree! 😊Keep fighting Bernie... 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

[@shakadeekee]

Yaaaaaaaaaay im not ganna have insurance

[@shakadeekee]

Good work 1%!!!!

[@jedadruled984]

You're a healthy boy, you dont need no insurance.

[@ImMikeyBallinBitch]

Suck it up! You're choosing to be kicked off of insurance by not being able to afford it! /s

[@shakadeekee]

Jedad Ruled i am a cancer survivor

[@shakadeekee]

ImMikeyBallinBitch im paying medical bills for being a cancer survivor so yeah im broke and thats with my current insurance...

[@johnhandcock8957]

Thank you Vermont for Bernie Sanders.

[@Silpheedx]

Thank you Bernie for fighting for us all! Thank you for being an example children can actually look up to.

[@Wafflepudding]

Keep fighting the good fight Senator, and know you have substantial support from across party lines. I abhor redistribution of wealth, but human lives come first. This is not a time to score cheap points or argue about big vs small government, it's time to take care of our own.

[@carolyn_r]

#Hindsightis2020 i.e. #PresidentSanders

[@roxiehart0731]

I believe the democratic or republican leaders who support this death sentence should be required to attend some form of funeral for the population they "represent". It's the least they deserve.

[@charliedelacey8856]

Bernie! Why haven't you put forth your long promised Single-Payer Medicare for All Act?! Now is the time! We need an alternative to FIX the ACA before the Republicans tear it apart!

[@stephanieph97]

Charlie DeLacey actually he did.

[@JollyOldCanuck]

He has tried, the problem is that he is only one senator with absolutely no support within the Democratic party. At best he can maintain Obama Care. There is absolutely no chance that a medicare for all bill will be passed when the Republicans control the executive branch and have a majority within the legislative branch.

[@TL-ds8ux]

Actually he did in 2013. S.1782

[@TheDevian]

It failed largely in part to Dems like Cory Booker and his big pharma donations, even Ted Cruz voted FOR it!

[@Caught_You200]

TheDevian I heard the Dems are trying to push Corey Booker for president in 2020! They are out of touch, keeping neoliberals on the ballot.

[@giuseppinagreco-scott1567]

I LOVE YOU BERNIE!!!!!

[@maxhammer712]

bern it down

[@Aoudhubillahi]

In hindsight, the Tea Party did say a lot about, "Too much Government." Maybe we are witnessing effectively the dismantling of the United States Government with this administration. May God make that ineffective. Amen.

[@makeupjazzetc]

Party that supports "life"....yeah, right.

[@Drummerbrah16]

Who listens to Bernie Sanders and feels anything else but courage? *Insert comment about DNC fucking up*

[@habibygun]

To say that healthcare is politics is absolutely inhumane. Charlie Hurt wrote an article about Jimmy Kimmel criticizing and insulting him for exploiting his child as a way to support bloated federal bureaucracy. I have a question for you, Mr. Hurt; if advocating for someone's health and well-being is regarded as exploitative, then why should anyone ever care about another person ever? In no way should healthcare be a political issue. It should be a human right. We cannot look past the injustice of denying any human being basic healthcare and health coverage. Before civil rights, slavery and segregation was a political issue. A Senator Strom Thurmond went so far as to say that civil rights were unconstitutional and branded the people supporting it as "radical." Today, it would be unconscionable to defend slavery. I don't care how free you think the market should be or how reduced the role of government should be- healthcare is a right for all human beings. Any and every human being deserves the chance to live and be with family and friends. I volunteer at a hospital and I meet a person every day that may be dead without healthcare. Well, they are alive and well and able to smile and laugh and engage with other people because of our healthcare system. Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat or apolitical altogether, there's no doubt that we can't have the right to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness if healthcare is not a right. On behalf of all humans, make healthcare a basic human right!

[@stunninglad1]

Game Set and Match I'd say. The GOP Health Bill is about to be toast and I should think so too.

[@juandelossantos3330]

Mr Sanders, can you give two of your three houses to some immigrants in need?

[@samirsaweras231]

I wish Bernie Sanders was my Senator. Fuck NY for not having our own Bernie.

[@marcexner1631]

Is there nobody present and listening at the senate? I only see empty seats and hear no reactions whatsover.

[@judyleasugar97]

The problem is really campaign donations. When billionaires like the Koch brothers are able to push Republican legislators to support a bill that would actually kill their consitituents, we are in serious trouble in this country, we have ceased to be a Democracy. We need public financing of political campaigns now!

[@Aoudhubillahi]

So what has really happened is a "Caste System" has formed against Blacks, Sick, Poor, Disabled, and Elderly in legislative proposals in the United States of America. Definition of caste 1 : one of the hereditary social classes in Hinduism that restrict the occupation of their members and their association with the members of other castes 2 a : a division of society based on differences of wealth, inherited rank or privilege, profession, occupation, or race b : the position conferred by caste standing : prestige art and religion have lost caste - F. L. Baumer 3 : a system of rigid social stratification characterized by hereditary status, endogamy, and social barriers sanctioned by custom, law, or religion 4 : a specialized form (such as the worker of an ant or bee) of a polymorphic social insect that carries out a particular function in the colony soldier castes for fighting enemy ants Had to contact my Congressman and Senator and tell them that I oppose the Trump Health Care Bill, Trump Tax Code Change Bill, and Trump Budget Proposal.

[@carpetlick5243]

Poll on the comment: Who will make a better president Alex Jones or Bernie Sanders

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

He Bemie how's that investigation going?

[@immaginger555]

Let me tell you guys something about Single Payer health care....and just for the record, I am a Canadian, and I occasionally use the system when needed. In Canada, yes, we can see the doctor for free, and have them diagnose us for free. However, in Canada, many of our medications are not free. When you break your leg, you have to pay for the cast, you have to pay for the crutches. Our system is not free, and it never has been. We spend 34% of our budget in the province of Ontario on healthcare. That comes from tax payers. Healthcare is never free. So even if someday you guys do get universal healthcare, don't get too excited. Your taxes are going to go up by insane amounts, and you will still have to pay for everything other than getting seen by the doctor.

[@coolal19]

Bye Bernie. It was nice at the beginning but now it's clear that you're just an establishment tool putting on another dog and pony show. You will not accomplish anything and continue to waste more time. Unsubscribed.

[@alexgangsta1231]

coolal19 so you think we should use trumpcare?

[@cokerockstop2]

coolal19 lol please tell me why Trump care is a good bill, if u don't have a reason then shut the fuck up.

[@mmvh966]

coolal19 How exactly is your statement accurate. Do have anything to back it up or are you just trolling?

[@coolal19]

No. We need single payer / Medicare for all. Bernie has been co opted by the Democrats. He can give all the speeches he wants but at the end of the day, he won't have any support with the Democratic party whatsoever nor is he willing to break with them.

[@coolal19]

Cockstop, I do not support nor voted for Trump. Go away.
