​@@SipLeilaCorporations use infrastructure funded by taxpayer $$$$, yet some of them pay ZERO taxes. Before Ronald Regan, we had a relatively stable middle class, whose labor contributes to the success of corporations. Corporations should pay their fair share of taxes, like before Regan was Prez. The days of corporations exploiting cheap labor & resources is one reason our world is so f:d. Greed is not good.

[@SipLeila]

@@lg2971 If what you say is true why haven't Democrats changed the situation while they are in office? It's because most wealthy people invest in corporations through their investment companies. Including many in Congress - like the Pelosis and the Kerrys and other Democrats. Don't you invest? How much? So, the corporations use highways and other infrastructure which is already in place and used by everyone. That does not mean they should pay the lion's share of the cost just because they have the $$. Another thing is that corporations CAN GO BANKRUPT and then they cannot pay retirement or other benefits to the local people. Just like cities in California started going bankrupt and they couldn't pay the pensions for their former employees. It was horrible for them and the whole US saw this happen. One mayor of a very small town was a Democrat and getting paid about $4 million a year. Every entity has to have some backup funds. The governments, the corporations, etc.

QUIT BEING AN OREGON LOSER. YOU ALMOST LOST LAST ELECTION - MANY HAVE MOVED OUT OF OREGON JUST AS A MILLION HAVE MOVED OUT OF CALIFORNIA. WHEN WILL YOU FACE REALITY? CAN'T STAND OREGON ANYMORE.

[@Innamoramento9]

It's not the interviewer's fault but the NYTimes has become truly awful with its pro-Trump coverage, the bad faith pro-billionaire coverage and I'm glad someone is saying it to their face.

[@TheFeldhamster]

Their reporting on Ukraine and Ukraine aid has also not been up to snuff, always making Ukraine look bad ever since the initial praise for them resisting waned by 2023. Making it look like the US sends cash over there instead of explaining how military aid really works etc.

77% want to expand dental, vision and hearing aid 75% wanna cut prices for prescription drug prices (at least to half) 72% want to expand social security 62% of folks said they want a single play medicare for all The democrats have these numbers, now they need them votes

[@mikewilliams6025]

And 100% want lower inflation. But want doesn't translate to reality. Like all liberals you never say how to F'ING pay for it. And taxing the rich won't do it. There isn't enough money in the world for things to get promised. I'm sick of party fantasies. Where are the realists?

[@reidwhitton6248]

If they want the votes the need to take action on those issues. They're not doing it!

@@MahkyVmedia1 Neither party is going to deliver a universal health care system. If they were it would've happened by now. Just the opposite is happening. Medicare Advantage, which is private insurance, is expanding.

Lmao the politician being interviewed is the one being blunt, revealing the tough truthes, and asking the real questions.

[@mlgraney60]

Bernie speaks my mind right from his heart.

[@Daily_Survivor]

Yay for Bernie! New York Times you have really let us down

[@dross24MA]

Totally agree. I used to think the world of the NYT and Washington Post. Now? Not so much. They have become sound byte seekers just like the rest.

[@lawrencetchen]

Senator Sander's messaging continues to be on point. A clear-eyed vision that speaks to people's realities. He is right. We can do better with our messaging, and the burden lies with us to convince people to vote for progressive policies. Onward with our work.

[@Centerlefty]

Love this interview and how Bernie slaps the NYT reporter around relentlessly for being a corporate shill. We should remember that he may have beaten Trump in 2016. This is why Walz is an excellent pick.

[@LisaGreene-o6x]

Harris/Walz is as close to a Sanders Administration as we'll ever get. Hoping for Bernie to get an important Cabinet appointment

[@reidwhitton6248]

Nah! Harris doesn't stand for anything. She's corporate all the way. It's all media hype. Trump can still win, which should make the Dems wake up and realize they need to serve the interests of the people.

[@jackedpowers4962]

Don't say ever!

[@jag1699]

Secretary of Labor would be a good position for Bernie. He would be the most progressive since Frances Perkins!

[@yunleung2631]

No. That was the Biden administration. We don’t know how Harris will behave as a president. Biden is the most progressive president of Bernie Sanders’s lifetime as he has said.

[@connectingupthedots]

Nah, it's a far cry from Bernie. Harris didn't even win a primary state and Bernie would be 1000x better

[@harshamahtani5554]

It's so hard to believe this man is older than Biden and trump. Our problem with Biden was not his age. It was the fact that he's in the throes of age-related decline. Bernie is absolutely NOT. He's still the best American politician alive

[@slmay3484]

I think it's the stress of the office. If biden wasn't elected he'd probably be fine.

[@DianeRiccio]

😊😊😊 Keep going Bernie! We love you❤

[@jesseyules]

NYT's rightwing framing is so tired.

[@willdon.1279]

Nonsense - it's no use dreaming the world is perfect - we are realistic or lost. You need to look closer at Right Wing, if you think the NYT is. I loved Biden, (and Bernie) but he did the noble act in recognizing the serious danger. I also think Biden would have won, but it was right on the edge!!! Please!!! Any chance of the TFGs/GOP in power would have been an unimaginable catastrophe!

[@rakishlyaskew]

A true patriot!

Bernie is always right. We're proud of him.

I wonder what the future holds... Bernie is a great speaker.

[@sanflo2810]

Love Bernie. I, too supported Walz instead of other more high profile candidates. The media and politicians didn’t get why we liked regular every day person Walz. Bernie listed all issues we supported which Walz stands for. Vote 💙💙👏🏽 Harris / Walz!

[@carolmay7]

Love me some Bernie.

[@fabiohenrique9499]

I hope Bernie lives to be 120. We need him.

[@SuperVANessab]

Yeah but he still needs to retire and have his own life lol

[@janegardener1662]

An American hero.

[@sparrowgeiller9360]

Yes, thank you again, Bernie. One honest politician is more powerful than millions who are not.

[@ethantaylor9613]

I love the way he talks, giving himself questions and then answering them

[@AgitpropPsyop]

Thank God for Bernie Sanders… I really don’t think we’d have people like Walz without Bernie

I LOVE You Bernie ❤ …. 2016 was your Time, you would have Crushed Trump in that election. You are the Real Deal

[@gracelloyd3758]

Bernie is awesome

[@samwho1731]

Whether you agree with Bernie or not, you cannot deny he is honest and the man has integrity.

[@SipLeila]

HE IS NOT HONES AND NOT TRUTHFUL. HE SPEAKS ABOUT THINGS HE NEVER EXPERIENCED LIKE MEDICAID.

[@joenovak247]

To me the interviewer constantly just saying “mmhmm” and “interesting” + pivot is a red flag that he wasn’t actually listening and just looking for the next opening to ask a gotcha question. Bernie was on point as always, however.

[@petersampson6210]

Bernie is still the realest out there. No BS, absolutely focused on the issues that matter to the actual average American

[@SipLeila]

FRANCE ALREADY TRIED TO TAX THEIR WEALTHY WHO THEN LEFT. GROW UP.
