Bernie: The Podcast | Episode 2 - Oligarchy

This episode is about what, in my view, is the central issue of our time—and that is the enormous concentration of wealth in the hands of a few billionaires, and the fact that every day we are sliding further away from democracy into an oligarchic form of government. We talk about how these billionaires are able to stash much of their wealth in tax havens and how they exert enormous influence over our political system.

Vote 💙 for Democracy Never for Autocracy in America 🇺🇸
Bernie should run for president again!!!

[Quist-wtvj]

We need a lot more young politicians who stand for the same issues that Bernie stands for. Our future needs them.

WHY ON EARTH ISN'T A BRILLIANT AND CARING MAN LIKE YOU RUNNING THIS YEAR. OR AT THE VERY LEAST A VP!!!

[simonbattle]

Bernie is always right! He was my mayor when I worked in Burlington and a customer and he is as he seems one of the most honest, thoughtful, caring people you will ever have the pleasure to meet.

Dear Bernie Sanders, we love and respect you! You are in a class by YOURSELF ❤

[mamatrain]

Fairness Doctrine. We love you Bernie. Because you love America and her people, not just her prosperity.

[jacobmartin]

Will never be possible to overstate how much I respect Bernie, and how much I wish there were more people like him in power. Recognizing this is a dangerous thing to think about anyone, never-mind someone I have never met in person or know on any personal level, using Bernie as my moral compass has created zero regret up to this point

I wish you were president 💟 you're an inspiration

[WisconsinWanderer]

thank you Bernie for all the years you have been fighting oligarchy and $ in politics. I voted for you and would do it again in a heartbeat 😊

[libertyblueskyes]

I have always loved Bernie. He remains my hero.

[davidwischer]

Bernie could have been one of the best Presidents ever! From my perspective as an Aussie with a social Democratic stance in life.

[stellabandante]

Bernie, keep speaking up for us. We trust you and love you and thank you for never backing down. Your integrity and compassion are beyond that of nearly every other human being in the game. Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and a few others are with you in your consistent standing up for Americans. But you are the consistent voice we hear. Don't stop!!!! Please!!

I'm 58 and over the last couple of years I've been able to get my 80 yr old parents to see what Bernie has been saying for years. The old guard politicians aren't aware how many of us older and old folk have got our heads out if the sand in the last decade. The next decade is going to be interesting because it's not just the what the old politician see's as young and niave voters wanting change, there's a heck of a lot if us angry duped older people want it too 😡

Bernie is the best! Love from Finland 🇫🇮

[susanrosegale]

I love that you started this channel Bernie - we need you. The comparison of our life expectancy as a 1st world power country vs other country's - way behind - says so much. I am joining a book club that is discussing your book. THIS is so important...we can't let the death of the middle class happen, we have to fight for it, it does not just happen.

[lindablackwell]

Thank you, Bernie. I wish the majority of the people would learn about the overwhelming wealth on the top. People need to stand up to them.🔥💚💙❤️👍🏻👍👍🏽👍🏿

[lizmarie]

I’m a 49 year old woman with a huge crush on Bernie Sanders ❤️

[barbaraalibozek]

We are Grateful for you Senator Sanders 💯

[ChristinaGerlach]

They called Ghandi the great soul., We in America also have a man with a great soul, and that is Bernie Sanders.

[playingpianoonaboat]

From France: Bernie Sanders… what an intellect! One of the sharpest minds in America… always speaks with class and wisdom! Absolutely enjoy listening to him.
