[@dao8805]

I supported Bernie in 2016 and 2020. He could have won both times if the DNC had not stolen the nomination from him. Sadly, he will not run again. It's too late for this election and once again the DNC rigged the primaries so that Biden would be the sure winner. This time they did it to RFK Jr., who had the courage to run independent instead. Why does Bernie keep stumping for the very people who betrayed him?

[@mari-kt1kb]

That's true.

[@FUNKY_BUTTLOVIN]

The problem is, neither the DNC nor the GOP would ever allow him to be their candidate, they'd simply not stand for it, both are servants of the same billionaires and monied interests, in the end. This is why I think the only chance we have is for other parties like DSA to start growing. The Dems will only grow further and further from what kind, wise, intelligent people know to be right

Excellent answer! I would have added these young people have more access to wealth and power than almost every human on Earth - how will they choose to wield that power? For personal gain only? Or, for the benefit of all? I think Bernie should do a tour of elite colleges, this message needs to be spoken!

[@psydd5209]

The government is not the problem. The problem is who owns the government.

[@davidstorrs]

Bernie's argument here was mostly a moral one -- we can all live in a better society if we work to make things better instead of focusing on making money. He's 100% right about that, but there's also an economic argument: most wealthy people make their money through investments, not through a high salary, so anything that makes the market go up is good for people who already have money. Markets yield more profits from a larger GDP with people who are feeling positive about the future. Eliminating childhood poverty and providing excellent education means more skilled people in the workforce, meaning more money floating around, meaning a better market.

[@urrywest]

Arguably you are describing the counter revolution to the capitalist revolution where the market gives everything to people who contribute nothing while taking from the people who make things.

[@AgrippaTheMighty]

I think that that better society will happen soon after the arrival of AGI.

[@matt3024]

An approach which is lost on these people!

[@davidstorrs]

@@matt3024 That's the thing though...I don't think it is. In my (granted, limited) experience, conservatives respond much better to arguments about money than to arguments about morals.

[@urrywest]

@@matt3024 Agreed that the moral argument for captialism that Bernie is making is lost on most. The real argument was laid out by Reagan: "If you let people keep more of what they ake and don't give it to the takers you ge more" The idea that a more equitable distributon of wealth, by leting people keep what they make then you get less is backwards. Now we are giving all the money to the aristocrats and destroying industry and headed for a crash.

I supported Bernie in 2016 and 2020. He operates in a very narrow lane and anything that he hasn't brought into that lane himself is ignored. Struggling Americans have only continued to struggle under Biden's policies, in fact more so than ever. It's because Biden is one half of the duopoly that rigs the system against 99% of us. Bernie's severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome is preventing him from acting on what he knows to be true: We MUST break the duopoly to free ourselves from the stranglehold they have on all of us. Bernie should be endorsing RFK Jr., not Biden.

The alienation, the exploitation, the guilt upon which these hordes of wealth are built under this system is a creeping rot that devours the soul. To live, to truly live, there is only one choice, and it is the humble union of community. Of neighbors, coworkers, lateral teamwork. The reward of growing attachment to those around you, of building things together, of protecting each other. When you are alone on top of your horde of wealth, too vast to comprehend let alone consume, the nihilism of the void will gnaw at you. And you will try to fill it with hedonism, and this will fail, because the void is in the unmet desires of the human spirit and the weight of your guilt. And you will perish, and the monument to your greed will erode in time, and you will never have lived a human life.

...as a starting point, yes. I'm fine with people earning more when they provide more "valuable" work/services/whatever, though there need to be some limits. Nobody provides a thousand times more value to society than the average person, so nobody should earn a thousand times as much (where exactly a reasonable factor might be should be up for discussion, that's where the Veil of Ignorance would be very useful for example). But yeah, the _starting point_ for everyone should be as equal (in terms of money/resources) as we can possibly make it. There'll always be some inequality, but we can minimize it.

Their values, which I knew to be sincere, didn't match their life decisions. Maybe it's slowly changing. I hope more people like me choose a life of nonprofit public service. It won't make you rich, but you can sleep at night. The smartest achievers in our society flock to regressive industries, and we wonder why our society is regressing. It'll keep happening until we stop the brain drain into the soulless corporate world.

ITS GOOD TO LEARN FROM OTHERS. THE MODEL COUNTRY IS INDONESIA RIGHT NOW. BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE GOOD HOUSE KEEPING. HE DID NOT BORROW TOO MUCH, OUT OF GREED FOR GET RICH QUICK, AND THAT MEANT THAT HE CONCENTRATED HIS OWN RESOURCES MORE CREATIVELY. AND HE SAVED AND BUILT UP MODESTLY, UNTIL HE HAD A GREATER SUBSTANCE FOR COUNTRY OWNED TECH, THAT WAS WORTH EVERYBODY ELSE BUYING. YEAH. I'M ENGLISH, BUT I'M QUITE HAPPY TO LEARN AND BE TOUGHT FROM THIS OTHER CULTURE. I REALLY MUSCH RESPECT 'PRESIDENT WIDODO'.

I love Bernie but I have to be honest, he did not answer the guys question. To answer the question, I will say that improving the lives of the poor will help everyone. Making the government more efficient helps everyone. There’s a quote I half remember that I think is relevant. ‘I care not for the intricacies of Einsteins brain and more for the near certainty that thousands like him wasted their talents toiling away in fields and factories.’ A rising tide lifts all boats.

In fact, there is a selfish argument for supporting Bernie's vision if you are already wealthy, which is that people who are trapped in desperate financial situations cannot innovate very well. If we built a society where people didn't have to worry about going into debt just for going to school, getting healthcare, changing careers, raising a family, etc., that's a much better environment to foster new technologies and more meaningful cultural touchstones - things that benefit everyone.

Plus, the healthier our middle class is, the less susceptible we are to demagogues like Trump who seek to destabilize our democracy.

Put candidacy for president, TODAY

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

Division within the party would only help Trump at this point. Sadly, I think Bernie would definitely be too old in 2028 for even one term. Getting Hillary as the candidate instead of Bernie was possibly the single biggest mistake that the USA are suffering from, and to _some_ degree a good part of the rest of the world, at least in the last few decades...

Bernie just run again. We need someone new that actually cares about the citizens

[@LittavArven]

Will they be able to built anything more democratic than the alliance that defeated the caliphate and the "Moderate and free syrian army of mujahedin"?
