Yes. He also always asks us to join him and all who already participate in civilized, civic action. There are several excellent videos of his ideas and plans, coming from his tireless work to gather the facts and consider the People-and our Constitution. While they are not affiliated with him, People for the American Way, Common Cause, When We All Vote, Demand Justice, just a few of the quality groups of everyday people we can check out/join in, to help strengthen Sen.

PS President-elect Biden did ask Sen. Sanders to send some of his folks over to meet with Pres. Biden's folks to share ideas, create policies and do the best work possible. Sen. Sanders did exactly this.

[@D2Duehren]

Harris is nearly as lliberal. Be sure to vote for her, or you are voting for Trump.

[@franziskani]

@@D2Duehren No she is not - but she might be dragged. She and Walz both talk about "affordable" healthcare. Which is code for: we do not really want to piss off the industry by implementing the ONLY system that works for a service like healthcare. Universal healthcare delivered by ONE non-profit govermental instituion. Or a non-profit that is so strictly regulated, they could as well be a government agency. The "free market" does not work for a service like healthcare. It is often urgent, highly important (even life saving), cannot be delayed w/o incurable harm, and it is expensive (even IF delivered in a cost efficient manner). In a free market the consumers must have something to counterbalance the power of the sellers especially if it is a complicated product that must be delivered by big players (and modern medicine requires large institutions, it is not a mom and pop biz). *_The most important power of consumers is to NOT BUY at all,_* that can protect them of a lot of price gouging. They do not have that power with healtcare.Complexity favors the corporate players and if you let them shape the arena it is not like the government can "regulate" them afterwards. The corporate players will always be ahead 3 steps from the consumers and 2 steps from government. Sure any regulation will add complexity, but they have the manpower to create the loopholes to work around - and the costs will be added to the bills. It is not like the consumers (the patients) can stop playing the game.

Everyone should have the ability to become the best person they can be and have FREE access to the means to accomplish that goal. 3. Climate Change. Why not #1, Hell, even #2? See #1 and #2.

[@dahliafully]

Because of where you're seeing it mentioned: it's all corporate owned. The sources that are not corporate owned are very interested in Biden's policies and showing what he's doing that is GOOD.

As a dutch person i understand bernie was never cool enough to be elected by americans. Merica ignored the smartest guy in the room and voted for the dumbest. dude so smart and ahead of his time people fear the change for the better.

[@barbaramay1866]

Remember the meme with Bernie sitting by himself on his own folding chair wearing his Vermont mittens at President Biden’s inauguration? The man is cool in his own way. People asked me to crochet “Bernie in Mittens,” for them, and they came out so cute…just like the Senator.

Affordable comprehensive universal healthcare.

[@dvdv8197]

Agreed, but KIS (keep it simple): universal healthcare for all. 😊

[@yogiperogy]

Why “affordable”? I’m fairly sure that America is the only western nation that does NOT have taxpayer-funded universal comprehensive healthcare. The insurance mafia will have fits but it’s long overdue for America to implement universal, comprehensive healthcare and bring America into the civilized western union of nations. It’s beyond my comprehension as a Canadian that heavy duty health crises like cancer can bankrupt American families. Capitalism built the western countries but it has changed from benevolent to ravenously predatory. Obscene greed is destroying an otherwise civilized society.

If Hillary picked "her Tim Walz", a.k.a. Bernie, she would've won. Kamala is at least willing to learn from the past. 👍👏🎉🎉♥️♥️

[@joel_anderson_t]

I was hoping what you said back in 2016. It would've helped her appeal to more voters in the Rust Belt States (at least Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin). Tim Kaine wasn't as popular as Bernie Sanders or Kamala Harris while she was a senator.

[@PantherMom512]

​@@joel_anderson_tYES 👍 BERNIE❣ In hindsight, Tim Kaine has value. But I STILL don't know a lot about him. Hillary Clinton's campaign was BADLY Run on so many levels! And it seemed that Bernie was stumping MidWest more than HC or TK‼️ 😫😖

[@dahliafully]

@@joel_anderson_t Tim Kaine continues to be a dust bunny. And neither are that Vance stain. How Trump keeps appealing is appalling because he's worse than anything.

[@malachi-]

Give it a break already.

[@helengarrett6378]

Bernie is funny, irascible and so on point. He's the closest thing I can find to a perfect Representative. Not perfect but pretty damned good!

[@briangutierrez1942]

the interviewer was sweating when Bernie was getting his lines out 🤣

[@dahliafully]

It took him awhile to say, YES HE was was in a union at Politico now, finally. And that it brought about protective changes.

[@topcat999]

everyone always wastes bernie's time with stupid questions.

[@dahliafully]

Because these are center-right (pretending to be liberal, and in most cases pretending to be center) corporate owned sites.

[@jeaniechampagne8831]

Bernie deserves a more professional interviewer.

[@MaryBrackett-jk6yt]

Bernie for ALL people!!❤

[@stwaters1147]

This journalist doesnt like Kamala Harris. I can tell because hes asked Bernie a few times suggesting there is a better choice candidate

[@dodgeball693]

I love Bernie because his grumpy grandpa demeanor is only outweighed by his charm and empathy for regular people!

[@kevincronin7020]

Biden has done extremely well both domestically and with our diplomacy.

[@johnnyxmusic]

Well, if you don’t include Ukraine and Israel sure

[@roselynnsalamone280]

Bernie Sanders is a wonderful man and understands what it is to be a true American, Thank you!

[@The10thManRules]

Biden stepping aside without a fuss was an act of love and loyalty for what America is supposed based on the basic concept of liberty and justice for ALL, not some based on skin color or wealth. End lobbying and corporate oligarchs.

[@marclawson2536]

Biden stated in 2020 that he was going to be a one term President.

[@The10thManRules]

@@marclawson2536 Thanks for commenting. Be well.

[@rosep3933]

Thank you, Senator Sanders.

[@johnpyle1268]

Progressive policies are now fully accepted in the Democratic party, and we have Bernie to thank for that. GOAT

[@My1reddog]

ABSOLUTELY! Pure great BERNIE! I LOVE BERNIE! He's moved mountains!

[@paddleduck5328]

❤

[@ScottBlanche]

I am not a registered Democrat anymore because they forced out Bernie from 2 primary seasons in 2016 and 2020. Not very Democratic of them. He could have been one of the greatest presidents we ever had and what we need at this time in history. Unforgivable

[@jessicasaenzavila1415]

My son is grateful that he gets free food at school but he says it's not enough ❤

[@AzizaSayed-n5l]

Respect for Bernie always speaking the truth

[@AlsanPine]

lol, this senior citizen has been living on less than $10k/yr for the past 20yrs! of course my house is paid off and i have lived a healthy life, and i grow 90% of my food. i am lucky. soon, i hope to become compost to maintain the fertility of my food forest 🙂

[@dahliafully]

you're lucky to have that health, the property and those skills. Most do not.

[@AlsanPine]

@@dahliafully yes many do not but most do and choose to do nothing. its not like i was ever making a lot of money. i just stopped wasting money and focused on the goal and persisted to make it happen. so i live like a monk but at least i live free, mostly 🙂

[@dahliafully]

@@AlsanPine good for you. That's quite the sweeping generalization to say that most have health, property and skills and then do nothing. People face all sorts of challenges that interrupt their lives despite what they do. And there is no way for a young person to pay off a house at $10k a year. Your generational luck paid off for you to survive like that despite the thrift. I'm glad you recognize that you are lucky.

[@AlsanPine]

@@dahliafully of course i never said that you can pay off a house on $10k/yr. i said i can live on that with a paid off house and growing my own food and not wasting money, time, and resources in general. as i dedicated my life to service, i never made much money in my life. i was able to pay off my modest 1 acre property, however. you can call it a sweeping generalization all you want but it is very easy to see how wasteful people are. my most lucky break was being born in a family that encouraged me to learn. i grew up learning how to fix things myself and i never stopped learning. when doctors told me i would not make it past the 80's, i learned about nutrition and herbal medicine and here i am healthier than all the lazy people around me. i am not special at all. i am not particularly smart. i am not endowed with an exceptional body. what i do have is the ability to learn and adjust and find solutions to obstacles. it took time. and yes, it took luck but life is all about what we do with our luck. everyone living in this country is lucky. try living in the congo! i was also lucky to have lived all over the world as my dad worked for the gov and we traveled and lived all over. i appreciated the gifts we have living here. we americans winging about our tough life is very much like trump whining about how unfair his lot is! live well 🙂

[@loveearth7011]

Yes! Bernie! Yes!

[@HeatherEvans-p1i]

Notice how Bernie cared what the people had to say but the host just pushed to show how smart he is.. actions speak volumes. Listen to the people out there working it and making it work for you or you will get bad results.

Money in politics is THE ISSUE
