Sen. Bernie Sanders Delivers a Hell Storm of a Speech.

I'd strongly suggest a RP-Kucinich or even Bernie-Kucinich ticket.

I must admit though that the US is a lost cause as far as politics goes.

I have to agree 100% on both points.

Those three would make the US stand on it's head and re-evaluate its place in the World. The people would also have hope once again instead of an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

And if someone like these three doesn't get to the oval, it truly is a lost cause. But unfortunately America is no longer about what people need but rather what the elite want.

The video in the OP is a shorter lower quality segment of this video which was posted last month in a thread titled The American People Are Angry! and it received almost 100 flags.

I like Bernie Sanders and aside from his views of social issues he is perhaps the last remaining New Deal Democrat (although an Independent) left in our Senate. Hell, he could have even ran as a Republican in the 1950s or 60s with his economic agenda and not have been called radical. The man has true guts, he actually defends the working class of his state when it comes to their economic interests. There is no one who even comes close to him in that regard on a national level today except for perhaps Dennis Kucinich or on the right-wing, Pat Buchanan (not in politics).

Too bad Bernie did not run for President as an Independent. That would be an excellent debate to witness. Bernie Sanders (I) debating Barack Obama (D) and Mitt Romney (R). You want to talk about exposing the absurdity of those two "mainstream" candidates? That would blow the doors wide open.

To see a debate like that would indeed be epic.

RP does a good job and he is to be admired but Bernie has just that little more push and his voice is just a touch more forceful. These small differences can make up a lot in a debate IMO.

People listen to RP but Bernie forces your ears open....just a little wider IMO.

Outside of foreign policy I do not care for nor even like Ron Paul. Outside of economic policy I do not care for nor even like Bernie Sanders. American politics is ridiculously unsophisticated and made virtually irrelevant by the absurd positions of our political theoreticians and politicians. The only ones offering sane economic solutions are completely delusional on social and civilization issues. Those offering sane social/civilization solutions are completely delusional on economic issues. Then you have Libertarians which are delusional on everything except for foreign affairs (excluding trade).

To find any redeeming qualities in modern American politics would be the roughly equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack.

Oh so this is a new segment of his speech. Someone posted that video the other day and I asked if it was the same speech as the higher quality one and the answer I got was yes. But if it is an unseen part of that speech I'll have to take a look at it.

Yeah, never seen that thread and the one I posted weeks ago was a different piece or was he allowed to speak again? Don't know.

Should have noticed that awful tie... Dead Giveaway.

Oh look, more anti-capitalist, socialist drivel being promoted on ATS.

Bernie Sanders would wipe the floor clean with both men in a debate.

Their heads would be spinning so much that they'd miss the teleprompters.

Actually, it's a refreshing break from the usual right-leaning ignorance that appears to dominate the environment here.

It's too bad that this is your rebuttal, one full of buzz words and/or generalizations.
