"Bernie's right." Truer words have never been spoken. That and, "Bernie was right."

[KyleRayner]

I'm a doctor. I get into at least five protracted battles over insurance companies that won't cover essential medications every week. It's the worst part of my job.

Giving more power to an industry that makes its billions by playing keep-away with people's lives is going to raise the mortality rate in this country to an unprecedented degree.

[tomg]

Whenever I blog about having a wealth tax on billionaires, I get so much hate from people who are actually paying the taxes billionaires should be paying, it just boggles my mind

[nickAmir-hn]

Thank you seth for still standing up and speaking truth to power!! You, the jimmy, s, the colbert, and Oliver are my heros!! Keep the good work.

[benkromphardt]

The cabinet picks are like Scooby-Doo villains. This would be really funny if it wasn't actually happening.

[Mr.Ncro]

Dr. Oz has been laughingstock for decades!!!

[DeathByRabbit]

If Billionaires wanted to make life better for other Americans, there was nothing stopping them beforehand. /shrug

[octoBadger]

This is actually getting genuinely depressing

[TheFlyguywill]

It’s still mind-boggling to me that over half of Americans blindly voted against their own interests without even knowing all of the policies and facts. Like Latino men realizing their Abuela could be deported, or the farmer who would be negatively impacted by tariffs, and I could go on.

You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists" ~Abbie Hoffman ✊️✊️✊️

[gracecarcich]

Thank you Bernie, hit the nail on the head. Last of the honest leaders. Reverse Citizens United!

[JacobGood-ts]

I prefer billionaires who don’t try to defend someone who’s being accused of sex trafficking and having sex with a 17 year old and using Venmo to pay for sex

[shermanculbertson]

I can't even begin to imagine what the next 4 years will be like. I feel better knowing Seth will be with us.

[rodthebodfromcanada]

Of all his cons, the biggest was Trump convincing his supporters he cares about them

[susanbrown]

Thank you, Seth. We appreciate your show.

[mattgreven]

you don't suppose a cabinet full of billionaires will govern to make THEMSELVES richer, do you? nah, I'm sure they'll care about the lives/jobs/livelihoods of the "little people."

[anthonysilvestri]

Putting Gaetz in charge of the DOJ is tantamount to putting Dracula in charge of a blood bank!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[disappointingdbdclips]

Three things I hate about musk: his insufferable personality, his unethically-sourced wealth being used as a political lever, and that post's lack of an Oxford comma.

[IloveRumania]

For the first time in a really long time, I am legitimately terrified for my life.

[r.c.drummrboy]

Bernie is a voice crying in the wilderness…he needs to be heard by everyone
