I will never forgive the Democratic party and the Mainstream Corporate media, namely CNN and MSNBC. They blocked him out, rigged the rules in 2016, he was way ahead of Trump in the polls, would have beaten Trump easily. Then they did the same thing this year.

Senator Sanders, i've been avoiding the news lately cause it demoralizes me but i was just told you had a lot to do with this new legislation that states United States Veterans can now go to a private or public hospital if the VA is backed up and Uncle Samuel will pick up the tab. That is very great news and very morale lifting. I'm serious man. Every Senator and every Congress Man or Woman that voted for this new law thank you very much. It's long over due. Senator Sanders should seriously consider higher office.

Bernie's integrity and commitment to the truth keep my belief that we can expose the greedy fakes and liars for what they really are and take our country back from the slimy oligarchy of money hoarders pulling their strings . That belief gives me hope that a better future is possible, but its going to take a massive awakening and mobilization of the 99%. And ballot initiatives need to be utilized; we need to use every tool we can get our hands on to save us. But Egypt shows the power of the ppl.

This man is absolutely right! Because Canada is more socialist based there is more assistance for the poor even though the Canadian system is not perfect. It's easy for people to say let them get jobs, but the problem is there are not enough jobs! Education is very expensive, and the system for public education has been cut back. Many people are not able to have opportunity to have a proper education, and have available employment. This man is absolutely right. What he is saying also applies to Canada to an extent.

So let me understand you better. You are saying that people should not be responsible (AT ALL) for their own action or lack of action? The national graduation rate is UP for the past 3 decades to a lowly 78%. Minorities are even worse. Dropouts cost est $320-350 Billion in lost wages,health, welfare, incarcerations. Yet liberals just want to use the "We need to spend more money" on a problem and then walk away and never check to see if the money produced the right outcome. I would support spending money on PARENTING and Self Responsibility. How about not paying women to have 4-8 kids with different fathers and not married? How about making fathers take the responsibility for their actions? And how about promoting a Can Do, to the children that are tough to be mistreated by the man and expect the taxpayers to take care of them?

If it were true that cutting taxes for the wealthy business owners and corporations led to investments which created jobs, why aren't we drowning in jobs today? It's easy. Business owners big and small don't hire unless there is good reason to do so, and that good reason is predicated on sufficient demand. As a business owner I would only hire additional personnel if the demand for my products/services increased so greatly that the revenue would be greater than the added labor cost and liability insurance coverage (and health insurance coverage if my business has enough people). Thirty-three years of Reaganomics and deficit spending has left us in the worst shape we've been since the Great Depression.

We are drilling domestically much more than in previous years.We imported 60% of our oil in 2006, we now import only 36% of our oil.We drilled 5.5 mil barrels in 2011 and are now drilling 7.5 mil."The U.S. is in the midst of a boom in domestic oil production, thanks largely to new unconventional reserves in North Dakota and Texas". So I'm not sure where this fabricated idea that "You and your party will not open the oil fields so that our dependence on foreign oil could end" argument comes from.
