That 2012 Bernie Sanders Speech That Could Help Him Win In 2016I do love this man, and this was the first time I heard the Senator from Vermont speak. Every year, I like to update and republish the speech, in hopes others will see him at his best, attacking Wall Street/1%, expressing the anger and the frustration of the people, and offering assurance and solutions. I remember thinking, 'Wow, where did this guy come from (even though he'd been in office since 2007). Why aren't more lawmakers like him?'
You cannot listen to this speech and doubt that this man should be the next President of the US.
If you can't listen to the whole speech, then start at approx 17 mins and listen to the last seven minutes.
There is so much truth in this speech it is hard to believe it is coming from a Politician.
I think this speech could be used at house parties and other meetups to introduce people to Bernie Sanders.
Add to that, his voting record shows that he votes the way he talks.
Is there any way anyone who actually listens to him speak and looks at his record could NOT vote for him?
Just let the people hear him and I KNOW he will win!

The Best Political Speech I Ever Heard
This speech certainly will help Bernie gain followers, we just need to share it with every person we know. The mainstream media has been marginalizing Bernie, as was to be expected with Hillary already being considered the inevitable Democratic nominee.
Since 2011, we have created worldwide movements using digital communication, and there is no doubt that these tools have the power to subvert mainstream media messaging.
He's right about that.

I think most Democrats WILL support him if they can get past the nonsense they are constantly fed that 'he cannot win'. The only way that could be true is if we don't vote for him.

(10,497 posts)it was just the Fox Bots. I guess in their defense they are worried about SCOTUS, but candidates like Bernie don't come along everyday. He is not a Nader etc., he has been a Senator a long time. Also, the big change we need means that at some point we have to take the plunge and pick a non-corporate candidate.
