I was thinking as I watched, that if not for the fact that Republicans managed to secure minority rule over the last 40 years and push the overton window so far to the Right... these two would just be considered the normal center of American politics... just average liberal Democrats... instead of being seen as the "far-left", when all they want is the basic social services and standards of most first-world countries.

I'm a 45 year old white guy who grew up in the south, in a conservative, Rush Limbaugh listening family. I'm happy to say listening to Bernie and AOC seriously helped me in my metamorphosis from GOP/libertarian to committed liberal/progressive. It was actually the hate & vitriol from the right towards you two that really made me pay attention to you because they were so irrationally scared of you. Keep fighting for what's right. Workers of the world unite!

[@jhodapp]

That’s a beautiful story! I too used to be a diehard Libertarian. But then I realized how idealistic I was being and allowed myself to look harder at reality. We need nuance and cooperation, not just a religious belief in unfettered free markets and the invisible hand. Markets are a tool that must serve all humans or they’re barbaric.

Amazing people who are of the same mind. I live in the UK and we have just the same issues that you have experienced and lived through. However, we all have had the opportunity to access affordable healthcare in the past but this is beginning to change in the UK. Long waits for surgery, lack of funding to support people with long term healthcare needs. Doctors who are just starting out in their careers already disillusioned with their earnings. The people who support our creaking NHS are the hard working nurses, many of them immigrants, the cleaners, the on the ground office staff and porters and kitchen staff. Sadly this is going downhill. At 75, I recently had a pacemaker fitted after many years with deteriorating health. During the surgery the consultant said, very sarcastically, 'And this all free on the NHS '. I was dumbfounded. My husband and I both came from working class families. We are not graduates, but sacrificed to enable both our children to have the opportunity to go to university and have financial security. Neither of them had an easy journey but both worked hard, as we expected them to and have done well. We are fast mirroring the States' with an influx of thousands of migrants who see the UK as a safe haven. But we are experiencing seeing our resources diminishing. The haves and have-nots still exist as always. The way things are going in the world, exhausting our natural resources, climate change....... I could go on. The world needs more Alexandrias and Bernie, but what do we get? Trump and Putin and the rest of the greedy warmongers who continue to exploit and destroy. 😢😢😢😢😢

I've deconstructed my previous understanding of history, politics, the world, and come out the other side as a passionate socialist and progressive.

I only now realize that Bernie could never become the president of US in this climate. His legacy is to be a symbol, of progressivism, of integrity, to raise the consciousness of Americans and the north star to guide the future generations into the light. And the sheer happiness in his eyes while listening to AOC makes my soul content. #AOCBERNIE2028

[@gabkarlic565]

Bernie and AOC, a winning team...America would be so awesome with you two as our leaders. AOC, find another Bernie and help same America, please.

So, im an old white guy living in idaho. However, born in west islip, NY, and raised in a very rural area north east of philadelphia. I was raised in a republican household, and voted that way for many years. After W trashed our economy, i switched parties, and have never looked back. I think democrats do a much better job with the economy and governance. I think Bernie and AOC are two of the greatest hopes for our country. Wonderful human beings. Wonderful ideas. I absolutely loved this podcast. Thank you bith very much, and please please keep up the good fight 🙏

Hi from the UK. I wish we had a Bernie Sanders in our political system. Things aren't as bad here because we still have the NHS but the corruption in our current Government is unprecedented. They are the equivalent of your Republicans and to them 'socialism'is a dirty word. Things rapidly deteriorated for both our countries in the Thatcher/Reagan years and the gap between rich and poor has become wider. We now have more people living in poverty, especially children, in both our countries than at any other time since the war. It is shameful when you think we are 2 of the richest countries on the planet. Antonia sounds like a younger version of Bernie...maybe she'll make President one day!! She'd definitely knock spots off any of the Republicans I've seen! Solidarity with all of you democrats💙💙💙 . I'm rooting for Biden

[@veganbadass]

If Bernie had been POTUS instead of Trump, 10s of thousands of Americans would still be alive from the Pandemic. Trump dismantled Obama's pandemic back up plans because he has a grudge against Obama from that roast. Plus millions of us would have Healthcare right now.

The contrast between him and the establishment candidates when he ran created such a huge shift in the thinking of so many people that I think he will have a much bigger impact on the U.S. than the vast majority of elected presidents.

[@Winspur1982]

I agree. In a world without Bernie I don't think the US would even exist anymore as even a figment of a democracy. Trump didn't change anyone's mind or inspire anyone, and never will. He merely latched on to longstanding fears like a leech on an open wound. Bernie and AOC et al. changed the minds or hearts of millions. (The discipline of political science, as opposed to anthropology and psychology, has a very hard time understanding this, and mistakes winning the Electoral College once against a former First Lady for evidence of political genius.)

[@Merriwether-w8k]

[@truthseeker2648]

Great idea! 🌹How could that be pulled off?

[@LV4EVR]

I'm MAGA, and I listened intently. Yes, I knew who they were, of course. But I'd still disagree just as vehemently either way. The problem is progressive policies don't work. You can see it played/playing out in NYC, San Francisco, Portland, Baltimore, St. Louis, Austin, etc., or in entire countries like Venezuela. (Or Argentine, before a radical conservative was elected due to the utter failing of the progressive/socialist policies and economic collapse there. Side note: His radically-conservative polices and actions have already made a _huge_ improvement in that country.) Specific example: Crime in NYC today is off the charts, despite the mayor claiming otherwise--if you stop arresting people, crime "goes down." It is very similar to how it was immediately before Giuliani was elected. People were _sick_ of it, and chose his conservative Republican tough-on-crime stance. His opponents called him racist (and every other name in the book) for his policies. But ... they _worked._ In a _very_ short period of time, the city became (again) a nice place to live, work and visit. And everybody benefited, _everybody,_ regardless of skin color, politics, gender, age, income level ... _everybody._ And that's the real difference between the two ideologies: Progressive policies sound good, _feel_ good. But history proves they simply don't work. Conversely, conservative policies can, on the surface, seem harsh and uncaring. Except, history proves they _do work._ And because they work, they actually help _all_ people, not just the elected and the elites. Thanks for a civil discourse. Peace, love and blessings.

They’re actively fighting against corporate greed, corporate slavery, poverty, violence, discrimination, and authoritarianism. If you cannot see that then you need to get your eyes checked.
