I was thinking "this guy says the exact same thing on every interview" but then I realized that's the point. And it's a point he has been making for decades. He is unapologetically consistent.

[@systemsoversymptomsvisionw9806]

Uh, yes. Because politics in the US has been corrupt for the entire time, the rich have been getting richer and the poor, poorer, the entire time, and NEITHER party has ever said "no" to endless wars. So yep, that IS the point. Nothing changes when neither party WANTS anything to change.

[@roxannemaggiacomo4513]

Exactly.

[@Joshua_Shadow_Manriguez]

He's just repeating lies. He doesn't actually care and isn't trying to help. He's just putting on an act to fool gullible folks and idiots. If he actually gave a damn, he'd work with Democrats instead always working against them.

[@systemsoversymptomsvisionw9806]

@@Joshua_Shadow_Manriguez He works with Democrats daily. Because of his friendship with Joe Biden, he refused to attack Joe on ALL the many, many, MANY things about Biden's history he COULD have attacked Biden on (both legitimate, and political). He did attack Hillary somewhat, but never on the easy stuff at the time (like her criminal neglect over Top Secret material and putting it on her private and insecure email server). In fact, he said "I'm sick of hearing about your damn emails!" and Hillary cheered. After corrupt Hillary stole the primary from him (e.g., the entire DCCC was funded by the Hilary Victory Fund, and therefore screwed Bernie over by, for example, withholding his OWN email list from him), Bernie actually WORKED, tirelessly, for her - so much so that she wrote a thank you card personally to him. He literally gave more speeches for her than SHE gave! And yet, you say he works AGAINST democrats. I'm sorry, but your comment is incredibly ignorant. Sure, go ahead - don't trust a politician, that's understandable, but what you said is just provably wrong in every way. Bernie does more for Democrats than Democrats themselves do.

[@ABC_Guest]

I'm sure he would be happy to change his points... if anything actually changed to address his points over the decades.

Best president we never had…what a great opportunity we missed.

[@sevenprovinces]

As someone from the outside looking in, I have to agree. Almost tempted to ask "If you don't want him, can we have him?" though I am afraid the voice of neo-liberalism is as unjustifiably loud (through money rather than number of voices) and obnoxious over here in the Netherlands as it is over there. Here too he'd probably never be given a real chance to effect change. I am not sure if you missed the opportunity or if it was kept from you through how the DNC works or money in politics.

No, he did WORSE than nothing. He literally tried to inject the minimum wage hike into the American Rescue Plan that was what was originally holding the bill back and would've been far easier to pass by itself due to his ego. And when Democrats got a Build Back Better plan that Joe Manchin was on board with, Bernie fought against it. Yet here Bernie is, expecting credit for things he had no hand in helping get through.

Those child tax credits completely changed the footing of my family. My favorite moment resulting from those payments was when my teenage daughter asked if we could get orange juice when we were grocery shopping, and I WAS ABLE TO SAY YES!! And then, when she reached for the cheap store brand that had none of the pulp that we like so much, I stopped her and told her to get the name brand stuff that has a high pulp option. She was so excited and surprised and happy! Raising children when you’re always having to say “No, I’m sorry, we can’t afford it,” and all the variations of that sentence, it wears down on both the children and on the parents. It was an incredible feeling when I was able to say yes to a spontaneous request at the grocery store for once. Since those payments ended in January 2022 we fell right back down into poverty, and it sucks.

@@brucecampbell4528 what an odd thing to say. My entire comment was about how we do live within our means. That’s why “No, I’m sorry, we can’t afford it,” in all of its iterations, is practically our family motto. That’s why it completely took my daughter by surprise when I said yes to a spontaneous request in the grocery store. That’s why she went for the cheapest option automatically & w/out me telling her to. And that’s why a 14 year old would experience so much joy when told to pick the Tropicana instead of the store brand. A 14 year old. And that’s because we live within our means. Because we don’t buy name brand stuff, nor do we buy things like juice or soda or alcohol or basically any kind of beverage except for milk or water, which are the necessities for our family. People have really grown comfortable showing open disdain and condescension towards poor people. It’s been growing more and more out in the open for the past few decades, equating low income to laziness, and claiming poor people must have reckless spending habits that the middle class will end up having to pay for, and all sorts of garbage about people sitting at home, collecting unemployment until then they start collecting welfare, etc etc. It’s all just ugliness, selfishness, ignorance and it’s simply a hatred of the poor.

America needs people like Sen. sanders, people who actually care about ordinary people and the future of the nation.

He also has a great skill of taking any question and reframing it to focus on root causes - the points he always talks about.

[@starcrib]

He's the Best 👌🏻 true apple pie. 🍎

[@kelseyletourneau6260]

Vermonter here 👋🏼 We back our guy all the way! Worked with him and his team and he's all there is and more. Thank you Bernie. He speaks up for what matters most and for those who can't.

[@diananunez7]

Even though I believe that we live many lifetimes, I am so grateful that I get to live this lifetime at the same time Bernie is living his. Feels like a privilege. He is the real deal. I voted for him twice and I would do it again if he runs. He is just what we need....still. The only true public servant I have experienced in my lifetime so far.

[@JazznRealHipHop]

Wishing Bernie a happy Presidents’ Day is more then a little painful 😩

[@BerlinShai]

Thank you so much Bernie! We don’t deserve you! Thanks to the late show for continuing to give him air time 💜💜💜💜

[@sheristewart2770]

That was cute! Thank you, Bernie! Thank you, Stephen! More invites for Bernie, please! ♥️♥️♥️🔥🐦

[@WonsPhreely]

Thank you for having Bernie on the show again. He’s one of the few things that gives me hope in these cruel times. #thankyoubernie

[@Greenbambu78]

Haha… I still love the winter gear meme 😁

[@NewMessage]

Can't say he isn't sharp as a tack. And he still has the same box of 'em he bought in the '40s!
