He's a beautiful individual, but he should be one among many in congress, with many people who would stand beside him on the points. He shouldn't be a spear tip and single, fragile hope.

Henry Wallace too!

@ahmf88 I totally agree with you. I should hate to live in a socialist state. Still less in a communist state. Grey, grey, grey! Let people make money! But this is not about allowing people to make money. And, correct me if I am wrong, I don't believe that Bernie Sanders wants to stop people making money. Bernie Sanders is a very moderate man. He appears not to have a radical bone in his body. This is about a fairer distribution of wealth in society. In America, the top 1% own almost all the nation's wealth, leaving almost nothing for the 90+% to get. Do you think that is fair? And why is this happening? Precisely because all benefits go to the top 1%. And also because the top 1% are hardly taxed at all. They get all the tax breaks. This is like the dreaded socialism in reverse! You would do yourself a favour to inform yourself about how the American economy works. 30% of the population do not even have healthcare, which is a human right. And why don't they have healthcare? Because they cannot afford it. America practises extreme capitalism. But there is something far, far better in between extreme capitalism and socialism. It is called a mixed economy. That is largely what Germany and France and the UK has. Go make your money, but the state will ensure that all get a good education and all are entitled to healthcare. There is nothing extreme about this. It has worked very well in the UK for decades. Even under Thatcher. It is only now being imperilled by our extreme Tory administration. By the way, Bernie Sanders has no intention of turning the USA into the Soviet Union! So don't lose any sleep over that!

@ahmf88 I majored in economics at university level, so I know exactly what capitalism is, or perhaps more accurately-stated, how it should be. You are right, America has turned into a private oligarchy. Unfortunately, though, America is held up as the example par excellence of a capitalist nation/state. But these days, it is anything but that. In fact, the USA could be described as plutocratic, oligarchic gerontocracy! It is a most unhealthy system, giving ordinary folk barely a look-in. How could a young person from an ordinary home hope to set up a business to compete with the extreme wealth of the 0.001%? (Or whatever the actual figure is.) He/she cannot. But that is not how capitalism should work. None of these extreme systems are good anywhay. Extreme capitalism is awful. Just take a look at all the people in the UK at the moment having to use food banks to put food on the table for their children, even when many of them are actually in employment! They are often referred to as the working poor. This is a disgrace. When I was growing up in the UK, I have never heard of the term food bank, because no food banks existed. Now, in the UK, there are said to be more food banks than there are bracnshes of Starbucks! And what about the homeless? No reasonable economic system would allow such a dreadful state to come about. Whilst I am all for people being able to become rich through their own effort and hard work, the gap between the superrich and the extreme poor is now enormous. When I was growing up, that used never to be so. This will all lead to no good place if nothing is done about it. This is a breeding ground for revolutions. And who wants to live through one of those? You, as a Russian, have pleanty of experience in history of such events. They are ugly and also lead to no good outcome.

@ahmf88 Private medicine in the USA is great at its best, but dreadful at its worst. No country spends more on healthcare than the USA and yet it has terrible outcomes. France, by contrast, has an excellent healthcare system, a system that Americans would call "socialized medicine". We in the UK also had a great National Health Service until the recent Tories got their mits on it. They are destroying and dismantling it, one step at a time. The fools want to introduce an American-style, private health system. It will destroy a wonderful system and will leave millions unable to afford any healthcare at all. In the UK, it has always been possible for the better off to avail themselves of private healthcare. Private healthcare is not prohibited at all. That was the best of both worlds. As for the middle class being destroyed, they are being destroyed under the current system, especially in the USA, because as the gap between the rich and the poor gets bigger, the middle class is being squeezed out altogether. We are returning to a neo-feudal system. It is obscene how rich some people have become! How many billions does one man need in one lifetime? How many mansions? How many super-yachts? How many private jets? There is nothing wrong with a man having billions, but there is something radically wrong with one man having hundreds and hundreds of billions when other men cannot afford to put food on the table for their kids. By the way, I would hate to live in a system like the Soviet Union. I cannot think of any worse system to live under. So please disabuse yourself of the notion that I advocate such a dreadful economic/political system. I certainly do not. But I do advocate more fairness for all. Not equality, but fairness. Give everyone the chance to live a decent life. Let everyone have shelter, and have enough food, clothing, a decent education and decent, free healthcare.

​@@trevorcrook5753It's his paycheck...

Yes, he is. It's Bernie's life's purpose to implement change for equal human rights where he can, and educate and inspire others to continue his work. This is his legacy. There is nothing wrong with that. There is no such thing as true altruism. We all gain something positive from giving something, or doing something for others, even if it's just dopamine. Dopamine is extremely important to quality of life. Supporting the empowerment of others is still a noble, and generous cause. There is nothing wrong with Bernie benefiting, too.

@@daniellamcgee4251 Agree totally. A world where we feel good about doing good things is perfectly desirable. In fact it's exactly the way you would want it.

The same should apply when a resourceful public Institution or department of civil Services goes to court against a human.

​@@MrJimheeren Bernie could piss in a gutter and fill 5 Corbyns.

@@MrJimheeren We didn't vote to remove Jeremy Corbyn and we certainly didn't boot him out. Those responsible for that were those who control the Media and that means those in the USA as well as in the UK. This is, of course, of particular interest to those who want the Apartheid State of Israel to continue to be the US Aircraft Carrier in the Middle east and as a barrier against the influence of either Russia or China not to mention any other influencers of International relations. In effect Jeremy was in support of the Palestinian people who have been persecuted for the last seven decades and nothing as ever been anti-semitic in the whole of his political life. He was a victim of the New Anti-Semitism whereby anything said against the Apartheid State is deemed to be anti-semitic by its supporters who wish to claim victim status whilst they are committing daily War Crimes and Ethnic Cleansing. What has happened in 2023 is appalling and yet those who attack Bernie and Jeremy alike for their anti-Capitalism/Socialist beliefs which are truly Internationalists will do so whilst refusing to acknowledge their own indefensible racists beliefs which are actually being actioned at the expense of the indigenous people of Palestine and the majority of the populations in their respective countries. 👍✊

Right???

This is the most bizarre cross over of all time, so lucky we live in this timeline

Although I didn't see this coming by any means, Frankie has long struck me as having Socialist leanings. I don't know how he got this opportunity, but I'm not surprised he went for it.

Not many people to share with, that haven't been brainwashed by the billionaires that run the media. Shame the same is happening on the internet, that's effectively owned by a few billionaires now. I do hope that can change, but its hard to be as optimistic as Bernie.

Unfortunately he kowtowed first to Islamists and then to Zionists and so appeared to have no real backbone. He lost a lot of support amongst the working class and ethnic minorities.

I'll be sharing....also a guitarist.

@@martinherts1967 me too. and the first reply i get is 'socialism no thanks'. It's a pity. I couldnt disagree with a single thing Sanders said.

@@helenswan705 hi Helen 😊 I totally sympathise. Sadly the word Socialism has seen its definition distorted which I consider grossly unfair. I guess it's mainstream media who are responsible. It's as simple as helping a neighbour who has a car with a flat battery; you help them with a jump start and they can get to work. Buy one's Doctor a gift every Christmas as thanks for their kindness and compassion throughout the year. If a fellow work colleague doesn't have quite enough money for lunch, give them some cash. To me these are all definitions of Socialism in practice. The clue is in the name. I don't think we are alone, this much gives me faith. The only thing I can think of, is an unfounded comparison with the 1930's German Socialist workers party; maybe the mainstream have latched onto this and used it to tarnish the real principles of Socialism, which I think simply involves being the kindest person one can, and striving to better oneself as a person in order to play a positive role in the community? It's a truly worrying situation if these are qualities no longer valued Helen; it sounds like you have the same outlook and upbringing as me. At least we can take comfort from this. I think if enough of us can seek each other out, even if only online, hopefully we can gently encourage far greater numbers of people to rethink their understanding of Socialism. Thanks for your reply; take care, and have a peaceful evening!

@@pablohanc great to meet you as well here! It's very encouraging to see that many of us musicians are in sync with people like Bernie, and I'm confident we all seek a peaceful world. I believe it's because as artists, our focus is on creating as opposed to destruction. I freely admit that I am really struggling and depressed by the state of the world in 2023. I'm very lucky,I think, to have music as an outlet..... I'm also very lucky to have a roof over my head, a Wife who is a fellow artist and free spirit. There are literally billions in a truly bad situation. We do what we can but we're limited by disability. But, having seen your positive comments here, it gives me hope. Thank you 😊 keep rocking folks!

Find a new favourite. This guy has the same economic views as Hitler. And probably shares more than those views with the guy. Sanders is scum.

Check out Frankie's new world order.

That's what he's like. His stage persona is just an act.

I think that is essentially the difference between being nice and being kind. Being nice is nothing more than a fleeting act, pleasant words with no commitment, manners and decorum. While being kind is a deep caring and empathy for the well-being of others that is beyond just words. And most kind people - without being hostile - do not care for the superficial act of being nice.

He’s ours you can’t have him lol. We tried to make him president and we got so damn close 🥺

Jeremy Corbyn is a close enough version of Bernie.

I clicked for Frankie cos I've seen Bernie speak a lot and know pretty much all of the stuff he's saying. But I really appreciate how he communicates what he has to say.

No. It's all a fantasy. People are dark and light...it will never work.

That’s Bernie for ya lol the man is the real deal

Yanno I've seen Bernie with Russell Howard, seen him on Joe, now watching him Frabkie Boyle and I've been wondering if like the people who are hosting these things are actually drawing attention to Bernie's ideas or if it's really just more opportunities for Bernie fans to hear him, glad to know people are tuning in from outside the Berniesphere

No I clicked just for Bernie.

The only way any good changes have been made is by bringing great minds together.

We need to learn to collaborate across seas to maintain his messaging and continue his legacy.
