He speaks well, and well being of those under executive wages.i have been listening to him last 14 years and he never changed his stance like others who are so called " na idhar ke, no udhar ke" means they jump sides where their or their circles more and more lies.

[MalvinderKaur-ex]

At 81 he speaks clear conscise instead of fumbling mumbling dropping dead others are going into like Biden nobody understands what is he saying, at least Sanders always spoke about improving the hard working labor publics life, that he never gave up, and not for wars hopefully foolish spending

I get it. Important stuff is unafordable, and people at the bottom are struggling too much, already. But I disagree with most of Bernie's solutions.

EXAMPLE:  the unaffordability of medicine & medical services.
I blame gov't granted monopolies, unnecessary regulations, and other laws that limit or restrict market competition.
Also, the American Medical Association (a union with monopoly on licensure) keeps the supply of physicians artificially low, which drive up price and reduces quality.

A FEW SOLUTIONS:
(1) Abolish all monopolies in medical industry.
(2) Allow doctors of varying qualifications to practice. Consumers can then choose less qualified doctors to treat minor conditions, for less money.
(3) Allow consumers to buy drugs without a doctor's prescription, "self diagnose" and "self medicate" at their own risk.

I'm opposed to people becoming wealthy due to legislation that benefits their industry at the expense of the consumer. These people are parasites.
But not all wealthy people are crooked like this. Many earned their fortunes legitimately. I don't believe they deserve to be demonized, punished or plundered in the name of "the common good".

Laws that prohibit market competition are the problem. Laws that prohibit choice are the problem.
Capitalism is not currently, and never was the problem. Free Market Capitalism is the solution.
