Mike Gravel's Best Moments

Mike Gravel passed away on June 26th, 2021 at the age of 91. Mike, who founded the Gravel Institute, had been a U.S. senator, a two-time presidential candidate, and the author of several books. He was a lifelong advocate for direct democracy and a fierce critic of American imperialism. We took a break from releasing videos and made this to remember a few of his best moments. Rest in peace, Mike.

Such a hero. Will be dearly missed by the world at large. Best President we never had.

I don't use the word *"American hero", * well, basically ever... But if one person deserved the title:

Only in the past year or two I went from the classic 2016 right winger to someone who challenged the system, I’d like to thank Mike Gravel for helping me with that
Rest in Power

An absolute national treasure, I wish we had more public servants who had similar ideals as former Senator Gravel. He will be sorely missed. 😓💔

I hate that the media did more to rehabilitate Donald Rumsfeld than they did to mourn Gravel

[TheJayman]

Getting as far as he did in electoral politics without succumbing to every monetary incentive to betray and exploit the working class is quite the feat.

What an absolute fucking hero. I'm utterly heartbroken.

3:03 corporate media talking heads doing their best to make every socialist/anti-imperialist look crazy, as usual. Rest in power, Mike Gravel.

It’s so sad that we lost Mike. I have not felt this sad since we also lost Michael Brooks. It’s time for us to carry forward with what they started. It is the best way we can honor their legacy and contributions. Rest in power friends ✊
