Bernie Sanders: If Billionaires Hate Me, Then I Am Proud | Morning Joe | MSNBC

[@doodelay]

I love mika, she really gets it and Bernie is a national treasure never to be forgotten. I hope he runs in 2020 and decimates the GOP once and for all

[@normantrombon]

I thick that the con don will be institutionalized first. Just sayin'.

[@oldfashionrealamerican7458]

and FYI losers, is NOT the government job to take care of lazy people, FYI the miniwage is NOT a living wage is for high schoolers, or students who go to college and then go to a part time job, or people just entering the work place, you morons don't understand economics idiots.

[@doodelay]

Mclovinthedank​​ that isn't true. The minimum wage was created in 1938 by FDR because employers were literally giving their workers pennies an hour. He created the minimum wage to help stop the abuse. He also created overtime pay and the 8 hour work day at this time because employers would work their employees like slaves; hiring an entire factory staff composed almost exclusively of children because labor was cheap, and then switching to women after children were banned. You don't know the history of labor in this country and that's what paints your inaccurate views of what the minimum wage is all about. You should also know that the the minimum wage does not exist for high schoolers, as 89% of all MW workers are over 20 according to the department of labor. The history of labor is the history of unions, before and after their existence.

[@hamishgaffaney5323]

doodelay yep its funny she almost looks a little scared specking her mind, good to see, I hope she didn't get a talking to from her bosses for it

[@ericpmoss]

1. I'm not a "loser"; I studied hard and work hard, and make a good wage, and I want a society where there aren't working people who are still losers. 2. FDR explicitly introduced the minimum wage as a minimum *living* wage (docs.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/odnirast.html). 3. The minimum wage isn't about lazy people -- by it's very nature, it's about paying for work, often work no one else wants to do. 4. Minimum wage work doesn't currently pay nearly enough to cover college costs -- all it does is take away from studying, which *should* be the job of the college student. 5. We understand economics well enough -- business leaders want to pay as little as possible and get as much as they can, and we fight against that in order to have a dignified existence even if it's digging ditches for a minimum, living, wage. 6. We also understand that dog-eat-dog societies are ugly. We don't want that.

[@BlueBird-uf2ot]

I admire Bernie for not wasting time or energy with bitterness. He is one of the few actual grown-ups in politics.

[@whyamimrpink78]

Him running around and spewing his socialist propaganda is him acting bitter. He lost, needs to go away.

[@vyovy]

that last comment literally makes no sense. Speaking his mind and beliefs is not acting bitter, and there is no need to go away. Where is the argumentation in your comment? Otherwise just nonsense.

[@BlueBird-uf2ot]

He got over the Hillary-throw-over with ease and in fact, grace. He DID NOT spend time bemoaning the loss of the democratic ticket. He said we need to just move on and no sense in crying over spilled milk. I don't know what you're after here but chill out. He behaves like an adult compared to...almost everyone in Washington at this point.

[@kirsteni.russell5903]

Bernie Sanders is acting more presidential than either the president-elect or the Democratic nominee (who won the popular vote) is acting.

[@CircumstantialFilms]

+Kirsten I. Russell That's neat that you feel that way.

[@kevinalonso6338]

Keep doing what you're doing Bernie, and thanks.

[@willwright2099]

Bernie is the President we need! But sadly Trump is who we deserve! Sad!

[@zburrows1111]

Laura Vargas wrong

[@Remindercat]

+Laura Vargas You seem to think that democratic socialism goes hand in hand with muslim immigration, or any kind of immigration lol. Well, newsflash; it really does not. Also they aren't immigrants, they are refugees. Most of them contributes and causes no problems, while there are a few bad apples. But to be clear::: immigration policy has nothing to do with democratic socialism.

[@joestewart-paul3260]

+Eric Cartman Spot on

[@democracydignityhumanrights]

Laura Vargas source on the mayor of London being connected to the Muslim Brotherhood and terrorism, such bold claims require journalistic sources that can be verified.

[@Pablo123456x]

The world is laughing at the U.S. because of the president you have elected. And this guy is the reason why we still respect and admire your country. Or at least half of it.

[@kevinalonso6338]

Yep.

[@PerthTowne]

"The world" has its own list of problems, and shouldn't be so quick to laugh at anyone or anything. But yes, Bernie is terrific.

[@Pablo123456x]

PerthTowne Look, we have had are fair share of clowns as presidents in my country. But in this case it´s not even close.

[@PerthTowne]

I stand by my statement. You've got your own problems--wherever you are. As for Trump, I didn't vote for him, and 3 million more people voted for Clinton than for him. We won't even get into the sabotage of Bernie in the primaries by the DNC. Ok, so what's there to "laugh" at? I see all sorts of problems in other countries on the news, but if there is an unfortunate situation, my first response isn't laughter. I find it...strange.

[@FinalAtonement]

I have to agree. I do research on candidates and look at what they do, and not just what they say. Our current PEOTUS showed up on my radar when he started his birther nonsense in the 2012 election. So when he announced his candidacy in 2015 I already knew to look out for him. As he went on he showed that not only was he horrifically underqualified but he would lie far more than most politicians and when caught, just kept telling it. He could play a crowd and stoked anger and had dangerous ideas. This whole last election cycle was like watching a disaster in slow motion. With the better candidates on either side being bumped off and one of the worst (possibly THE worst) candidate winning. We are not even a month into 2017 and already the house, cabinet members, and PEOTUS are trying to bypass background checks, gut ethics commitees, and challenging nepotism/emoluments laws. They are basically flaunting their corruption in the open now. While I have been happily surprised by average citizens putting pressure on government, and stopping the gutting of the Office of Congressional Ethics, we need more. There are still too many who can't see through the smoke, are distracted, or in denial. And we need them to wake up and step up yesterday, because things only get worse after Jan.20.

[@funnyduck1234]

Laura Vargas I lovvveee my free education and healthcare here in Finland. Sorry for Americans, wish you weren't so poor

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

Laura Vargas Why are so many abusing the system is the US? Who, what, where did the trust go to? it's also a strange argument since the US have never had a fully equipped and functioning welfare system. How can you know what you are saying for anything but a personal opinion.

[@aM-ik6od]

Laura Vargas you must be expert because you abuse the system yourself . Your opinion isn't fact. Corporate welfare exceeds the so called fraud youre talking about. It is is not white or black issue because any and every race abuses the system . You should be concerned about the corporate welfare queens . But you're mad about a person with a $100 food stamps. Instead the billions the banks and Wall Street receive 😂

[@narutodssunny]

Alee M exactly

[@Remindercat]

+Laura Vargas If more money were put into education and healthcare, people wouldn't need the welfare system as much. I believe if more people felt like they had a future they wouldn't feel the need to exploit the system either. You have a very naive look on things, but you obviously see that it works in finland (and the rest of scandinavia) so there is no reason that it wouldn't work in the US also, since you do have more then enough capital for it.

[@roseluis2059]

I love you, Bernie Sanders 😊

[@chydi10]

Jesus Christ, i still don't understand why Americans didn't vote for this man.

[@DavidPackluvr]

Nibbles McMeow~ I am from Colorado, but have been stuck in Nebraska since being diagnosed with MS 14 years ago (lower cost of living for a fixed monthly income). I wrote in Bernie Sanders on my ballot in small town of less than 1000 ppl. and it wasn't even reported in the count. I realized it wouldn't make a difference in such a Red state, but to not even have the Bernie write-ins reported on is despicable. I know I wasn't the only one in Nebraska to write in his name!

[@iancook8372]

In Nebraska if the candidate doesn't declare themselves as a write in candidate beforehand, any write in votes for them will be thrown out. It's like this in most states.

[@blessingsarereal8508]

if they had not fight Bernie Sanders he would of been president... GOD BLESS HIM.

[@blessingsarereal8508]

Rob G exactly!

[@whyamimrpink78]

Not really. All Trump had to do was show the people Bernie's tax plan and they would have voted against Bernie.

[@blessingsarereal8508]

whyamimrpink78 I really don't agree.

[@whyamimrpink78]

Antonia Seaton Universal healthcare failed to pass in Vermont and Colorado because people saw how high their taxes will get.

[@kevinalonso6338]

Didn't you check Bernie's plan? He wanted to increased taxes mostly on those who earned above a certain (high) cap and the social programs which would have been funded with the money (like single payer) would have given back more than what they spent to the poor and working people, what republicans fail to realize is that taxes can be used to improve society too.

this is why Bernie is so popular. he is genuinely dedicated to the people not the power.

[@obiwankenobi661]

you know.. maybe the fact that bernie has lost is the best thing for this country right now.. obviously the american people were not ready for a democracy.. at least now they have 4 years to learn how to actually partake in the political process and understand how things work.. this will be a rude awakening, but it will be good. and who better to be there than bernie sanders.

[@whyamimrpink78]

You really need to learn how the political process work. We don't have a democracy at the federal level. Never had, and hopefully never will.

[@obiwankenobi661]

whyamimrpink78 except they had a chance to vote for bernie in the primaries.. also, they continuously choose to vote for republican governors - id say thats enough democracy to change the country almost overnight

[@anishpinto1]

You're absolutely right. Worse than Trump winning, would have been Hillary winning. Like I read in a previous comment, "Silver lining...Sanders being taking seriously, finally. Do you guys think he would have even been blip on the radar if Hillary would have won?" Bernie's opposition of Trump is what will spread his message.

[@alexiatr]

sadly you're right, sometimes we learn more from our mistakes. I said we but I actually voted for my Bernie.

[@nightcoreedits266]

Obi Wan Kenobi as long as it doesn't end in a nuclear war, I agree.

[@Panthro-lo2lh]

the problem is both parties are corrupt. bernie sanders is an inspirational INDIVIDUAL... but the parties themselves? no hope imo.

[@kevinalonso6338]

That kind of thinking won't lead us anywhere though, change doesn't come easily and I think our best option is trying to redirect the Democratic Party to what it used to be before adopting republican tactics.

[@6MikeJones9]

Thespectre82 well its a good thing the party is made up of individuals. vote them out!!! become active in your state party!! its easier than you might think

[@anishpinto1]

I agree with you. The Democrats are for the establishment and the elite just as much as the Republicans. In my opinion, both these parties are either beyond repair or just not worth the struggle that comes with trying to repair them. I love Bernie Sanders and as far fetched and unrealistic as it seems, I believe he should start his own party.

[@brandonpeate3599]

Anish Pinto He ran independent his fist time but didn't come close to winning unfortunately:(

[@AdmiralBison]

I'm of the belief the majority of the Democratic Party or alt least key members have been bought out, and what is left led by Bernie Sanders is fought against or held back by these very same"Democrats". A majority of the mainstream media have had gag orders and now it's done some journalists are now able to criticize. and Republican's will always be republicans largely catering to the rich/powerful, 1%, Religious Right (Christian anyway) and ultra conservatives. we may as well have George Bush and all his cabinet members come back , because I can't see the difference between this current administration and his.

[@anteaterwill]

Bernie! Keep the Revolution going! Rebuilt this party into something we can call be proud of! 50 state party!

I'd just like to say that I think Bernie Sanders actually cares about the American people. All Hillary Clinton cared about was winning. I mean, Bernie was out of the race months ago, but he continues to fight for what he thinks is important. His passion is clear in every word he says, and the work he does for America is something I'm truly grateful for. Hillary, however, is off in the woods somewhere. I wish that in our government, we had more people like Bernie. He thinks before speaking, and not only prevents himself from saying something offensive, but simply doesn't agree with opinions that are offensive. I really believe that he wants the best for ALL of America, and although I'm sad to not see him as our president, I'm glad that he continues to stand up for America.
