We spoke to Bernie Sanders about alleged health insurance CEO shooter Luigi Mangione, the crisis of for-profit health care in America, why only a mass movement can win Medicare for All, and how to fight the growing share of working-class votes for the Right.

    probably could have been built over the last 4 to 8 years if he hadn't capitulated to the democratic party and had broken away from them to form a workers party at the height of his popularity

    Could have, Bernie

      How many people have died in that time frame because Bernie failed and capitulated to democrats? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?

      This rich old fuck is fine biding his time for eternity, he has no urgency

      Even the peasant bean counters and pencil pushers of the health insurance industry are a parasitic leech on society and need to be reassigned to socially useful work

    And you're standing in the way of it old man, sit down and shut up

    Let me just say this: it goes without saying that killing anybody — this guy happened to be a father of two kids. You don’t kill people. It’s abhorrent. I condemn it wholeheartedly. It was a terrible act.

    Yeah that's what I thought you media trained dog, keep playing teacher's pet

      Kosovo War, 1999. Sanders voted yes on this measure to authorize the war

      Post-9/11 authorization for the use of military force, 2001: Sanders voted in favor.

      A Sanders White House, according to his campaign, would be open to launching a military strike against Iran or nuclear-armed North Korea to prevent (not respond to) not even a threatened missile or nuclear strike against the United States, but a mere weapons test.

      Question: President Trump’s national security strategy calls for shifting the focus of American foreign policy away from the Middle East and Afghanistan, and back to what it refers to as the ‘revisionist’ superpowers, Russia and China. Do you agree? Why or why not?

      Answer: Despite its stated strategy, the Trump administration has never followed a coherent national security strategy. In fact, Trump has escalated tensions in the Middle East and put us on the brink of war with Iran, refused to hold Russia accountable for its interference in our elections and human rights abuses, has done nothing to address our unfair trade agreement with China that only benefits wealthy corporations, and has ignored China’s mass internment of Uighurs and its brutal repression of protesters in Hong Kong. Clearly, Trump is not a president we should be taking notes from.

      Remember when flattened-bernie refused to call for even a ceasefire in Palestine? I guess he, like all the anglo-burn politicians, doesn't see Palestinians as people
