Got to love Bernie, he's been hammering the same message on behalf of the working class for literal decades.

(Sorry for typos)

American here, in case there's there's people in the UK and Great Britain thinking private insurance might be better, or think it could never happen where they live, have them listen to Bernie. Don't take it for granted please. There is so much suffering here from medical bills, people dying from avoiding going to the doctor to curb medical debt, it's inhumane.

[OGAshton]

Perhaps one of the most tragic aspects of American politics is that there is quite simply no one else that advocates for the working class like Bernie. The man is 81 years old and he has no obvious successor…

[TihetrisWeathersby]

Bernie is one of the best we have in America, At 81 he's still working tireless for the working class

I volunteered for the Bernie campaign last presidential cycle. I was furious how they screwed him over in the media. I am a leftist, Bernie isnt as left as america needs, or left by european standards, but he is one of the FEW ppl actually trying to fight for the american public.

America is currently plagued by the hydra-headed evil duo of inflation and recession. The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt. In April alone, credit card debt went up 20% while rates have doubled in a year. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse has indeed begun..

Bernie is a gift to the United States unfortunately many Americans don’t recognize it.

[eastchchkea]

Bernie is among the best of us. I wish him a ridiculously long, long life

[gordonlemon]

Canadian here and I’ve said this for many years… Bernie is the most honourable politician I’ve seen in my lifetime in a global political system filled with dishonourable individuals.

[stewiegriffin]

This is the only guy I want representing us on the world stage.

US healthcare is messed up. A mate of mine had a minor road related accident in US and needed surgery on his finger. Afterwards the hospital sent a bill to the insurance for over 40 grand. In the preceding couple days of stress they basically haggled them down to the low 20s. It’s madness and if you think the NHS is bad, it can be worse ppl. Stay safe…esp. if you’re in US

[rexnoct]

he's the only person you can actually trust in American politics bc he's been unapologetically fighting for the people since he started.

[laurieharper]

Down the pub with Bernie? I envy you. Definitely someone I'd love to chat with over a pint.

[Lostmissionary]

This man is such a US treasure in the truest sense of the word. The world needs people like this in enough numbers to change the world.

[imitationoflife]

This is Bernie at his best. I have always supported Bernie. Everyone should at least just listen to this great interview. Thank you, Bernie!!

[Liam__T]

This man is so underappreciated here in the US. I strongly believe that he would have turned this country around for the better had he become the president. He's truly an extraordinary human being.

[cram]

Thank you, friends across the pond for having Bernie, a true American hero! 🙇🏼‍♂️🙇🏼‍♂️🙇🏼‍♂️🙇🏼‍♂️🙇🏼‍♂️

[ballyhigh]

Wow, you got Bernie! And at 81 he's a year older than Biden, yet as sharp as a tack. Fucking love him.

[farmpunk_dan]

I remember Bernie’s campaign in 2020. Right before the pandemic… the last time I felt hope for my country.

[justaguy]

Honestly if he chose to be an educator I'd attend his classes. He's soo good at explaining things in layman terms it's mind boggling.
