The Fact of the Fact is Factually that Joe Biden is incoherent. That’s a fact
Don’t give him such a hard time. He was having ‘nam flashbacks to the beating he got from Cornpop.
Unlike the TRAITOR and Blowhard in the white house NOW??????
How can Biden be the front runner when he is incoherent? Half the time Biden speaks I’m not sure what he is saying, he is not making any sense and is just rambling on. 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Agreed 😂
Well written.
ok so everybody copycatting Bernie didn’t see that coming (sarcasm) and wtf did Biden even say??
He said a long winded copy and paste of everyone else’s typical responses
Something about coupon-clipping stock brokers?
@Andrew Tomaschke Now Wall Street brokers coupon clip? Who knew.
I was asking the same thing. Lol
After I listen to Biden I feel like I need to take a drug test. Then I realize I’m totally sober. Wtf is happening.
The woke has spread

@Joao Polo You are being to kind to the blabbering moron
Sanders: Billionaires shouldn’t exist
Billionaire: I know, rite?
@Troy Stocker because in a capitalist system you have a voice if you have money. This video is the perfect example for this as others have pointed out.
So what the hell does a million achieve to change anything on a country-wide basis? It’s not gonna change the system, it’s not gonna prevent the problems we face today from getting worse. It’s a tiny band aid on a gaping flesh wound. Not applying it is not hypocritical. Just like me wanting change and not giving spare change to every single homeless person on the street isn’t hypocritical. These are completely different layers of action.
Sander’s never says anything about his TRILLIONAIRE Banker Masters that don’t pay taxes.
@tone West i reported him.
Biden couldn’t finish a sentence in his first shot if his life depended on it.
Biden wants to raise the capital gains tax (3:30) which will hurt retired people who live off their 401k. He’s demented.
Warren and Sanders have it right. A Wealth tax is the answer to help lessen wealth inequality.
@Conscientious Cog It’s worked for Trump. The decrepitude strategy.
Cocoa Liveson agreed. But I view Elizabeth Warren as an interloper for the progressive party-These ideas are only recently adopted for her. I don’t think she intends to follow through with him in any aggressive way. A lot of her clothes advisers I have spoken publicly about the fact that they believe she will come back to the center once she obtains the nomination. Obama did similar things when he was running. And directly after Obama, America started looking for someone who was really going to change the landscape and after Sanders was cheated out of his nomination, the only one they found was our current disaster. I’m not in fan of Warren becoming president because I don’t want a repeat of that specific bit of history.
Snaggle Toothed so true… though I do think xenophobia and a lust for opulence in our twisted American dream obsessed culture has something to do with it too 😉
@Conscientious Cog Come back to centre _after_ winning nomination…? Surely that would work the other way around? Hide the left until you’re already chosen… I love Sanders but his age is a great concern. Let’s imagine that he spent 8 years in the WH and left at 88 without one problem. Would the GOP not use _every_ rumor and non-issue to start hysteria about dementia? No respect for truth, for people.
“Kylie Jenner should not exist.” #Vote4Bernie
@Calvin R. Johnson Jr. Not surprising it doesn’t get likes on a pro-Bernie thread. Popularity, especially in a limited group, doesn’t make something right. I was probably a Bernie supporter before you… and, I’ve moved on before you.
@Sun Wukung now that’s a claim I doubt you would win on. And why would I move on a person I believe in? You make zero sense. You want some medal cause you claimed to move on? So you went from being in the left to going to the center? How does that happen
@Travess Wolford No, you’re a trans-phobe. It probably has something to do with the fact your mother spelled Travis as Travess.
@Calvin R. Johnson Jr. As I said, I started supporting Bernie in 2010, and I’ve never lived in Vermont. And, I haven’t moved my relative position politically, although I’ve moved from Sanders to Warren in terms of candidates. When Bernie was content to stay in the Social Democracy zone, I was fine with him. Now, he’s pushing his Democratic Socialist agenda, and that borders on Leninist-Marxism. I support capitalism, and Bernie is now saying that’s a bad thing.
Try looking up Democratic Socialism vs. Social Democracy. If your a pure socialist, then Democratic Socialism might be for you… but, it hasn’t worked out so well historically… whereas the Social Democracies, like Norway and Sweden, to which Bernie is always pointing, are among the happiest places on earth. Bernie’s social policies, but not Bernie’s economic agenda.
@Sun Wukung capitalism is bad my friend. And if you listened to him all he maintain saying he wants billionaires and millionaires to pay more. Why is that wrong? Why is universal heathcare a bad thing? I live in New England Warren is my senator and she is a choice of mine. But Sanders stays first. Cause Warren foreign policy isn’t inspiring enough for me to pick her over him. But in my perfect world they are president and vice President. That’s my tix
Lmao. Booty Judge was saying that people were sick of hearing nothing when his whole statement was a whole lot of nothing.
He’s an empty suit.
givemedepussie pliss exactly he’s the most empty non substance candidate up there I think he’s just projecting himself on to others. & he’s always trying to sound smart while saying absolutely nothing it’s hilarious
Bernie’s facial expression when the billionaire agrees with him was PRICELESS. 😆
I completely agree, but Bernie always looks like that.
Cause he knows he’s bullshitting
@Alex Libman
Hmm…Penzoil-filled apple pie 🥧 😋🇺🇲
#Bernie2020 motherfuckers.
That Billionaire is like the wolf watching the sheep. Very difficult for him to be trusted.
It’s no surprise, even Bill Gates wishes he got more taxes to help the people, the system is totally broken, especially when some billionaires aren’t willing to give a cent.
Amy sounded like she was about to cry
I’d cry too if I was polling at 1.5%
Is there an echo in the room? They all sound like Bernies policy statements.
SNL-2016 Hillary shape-shifts into Bernie.
Bernie is a Socialist, my friend. Warren is a Capitalist wishing to support the Democratic-Socialist Republic. That’s what Jefferson, Adams, etc. wanted.
Cause they realize that’s what many people
I’m like Bernie I’m like Bernie I’m like Bernie I’m like Bernie
Bernie all the way. He’s fine, he’ll be okay for at least 10 more years.
@Marco A Bootlicking isn’t work
@Noise Latrine How am I a centrist, when I voted for Sanders in the primary in 2016, and am currently supporting Warren… and advocating a 70% or 91% max marginal tax rate? I supported Sanders until he decided to go full Democratic Socialist. When he kept his rhetoric in the Social Democratic range, the same as the Scandinavian Social Democracies like Norway and Sweden, to which he regularly points, I backed him fully.
Look up Democratic Socialism vs. Social Democracy.
He should have took his campaign against Hillary more seriously then. AND the super delegates screwed him from day one last time….. Why would this time be any different.
“My dad’s Chevy Cavalier” is an awfully specific image from Buttigieg.
He’s a phony. Just another empty suit, establishment dem. He says a whole lot of nothing while leaning heavy on the platitudes.
Nice Democrat pandering with imaging, emotions. Pathetic
Bernie’s face when Joe Biden starts leaking his frontal cortex
@Cerosettra the Redistributor you get it straight. Most billionaires, got their money like Agolf did. From their daddy and then played the stock market. Ooh such hard backbreaking work. No one has said that ALL billionaires all evil, but, when several have said in public, that they have soooo much money, they don’t know what to do with it, (god forbid they help out charities, or other struggling families) but instead start private space rockets or horde it in their basement or overseas. So don’t pretend that you are so ignorant as to belive they worked hard for it. Bill Gates is one that started out with hardly any money, yes.
@Cerosettra the Redistributor sorry I put my comment to you, it was meant for the idiot above your comeback to him.
@Pricilla Shivvers-Triplett all good, i make the same mistake sometimes too.
Go research what Bernie and his wife did … ripped off their college … he’s a fucking communist out to destroy America and anyone agreeing with Bernie and these disgusting demoncrats should move to Canada.
“I’m going to eliminate capital gains tax. I’m going to raise capital gains tax to 39.5%” what LOL
I thought my ears where hearing things. Glad I’m not the only one.
@Redbird , Actually, I believe the wealthy were taxed that much. That is how our Infrastructure was built, and how we got out of the Depression. And guess what? It did not hurt the wealthy whatsoever. They continued to enjoy their life. The wealthy these days are so greedy, now that they can use their billions to buy politicians, laws and power.
Right!! 🤣
They mean get rid of that loophole
@Dianna Salva Plus they deal with the Politicians by saying “Give us tax exemption or we wont bring job oppurtunities to your state or city”.
I’m voting for Senator Bernie Sanders.
We need a political and social revolution….not just an adjustment to the existing system.
@Btuner141 It’s quite funny that the protesters in Hong Kong are protesting against Socialism but people in America are taking out in the streets marching for Socialism. #CREEPY
David Leo Morley From Canada, I completely agree with you. I point a finger at your education system, and the insularity of way too many Americans. Your schools need to teach more than corporate capitalism, and focus on real critical thinking. There’s some good reasons that smart, comfortable, progressive and SAFE countries support democratic socialism.
@Erick Vides Yep! Hard to find other Senators who can claim to have taken on the richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos and won. He also took on the most powerful federal system in the world, the Federal Reserve, and got us the first audit of the Fed in US History.
Without Sanders, all those trillions of taxpayer dollars used to bail out the corporations that crashed our economy with their greed would have remained anonymous as to who received the money.
He even declared the war in Yemen, the worst humanitarian crisis in modern history unconstitutional and had support from both parties for us to withdraw from there yet Trump veto’d it.
Just imagine what this man can do as president.
@Gillian Sernich yet Canadians are crossing the border to the U.S. because your free health care sucks. Just to let you know that I was in Canada on the way back to the USA from Japan so yes Canada needs to let go of “Democratic Socialism” so people can have a better life. Seriously, I felt that I was in the Soviet Union or China. Democratic Socialism is still socialism. They used that term in Venezuela and now people are starving to death.
@Gabriel Rodriguez When are the large sanctions on food and medicine coming for the US?
Fyi, the only reason Steyer is up there is BECAUSE he’s a billionaire.
@Spearhand , he? who spent the money? Mueller Investigation had to be done to prove Russia interfered in our elections, to benefit #Trump being elected, and that needed to be 100% known. Who caused it? #Trump. Who caused the Impeachment Inquiry? #Trump. And thats a shame that this country has to suffer for it. #Trump has caused the Federal Deficit to skyrocket, by his spending. It will take decades for our children to pay $22 trillion without implementing a wealth tax.
Maybe Steyer is there because of his money, but you too can be up there with some hard work. Amazing what we can do when we set our minds to something.
@Dianna Salva He made a billion from a book? LMAO. How about hedge funds.
@Dianna Salva I like bernie just thinks some of his ideas he really does not know how to implement them just like his campaign problems with wages and cutting hours. Yang at least has ideas but not just that ways to implement them. I think Yang or Gabbard are your best chance because they already have 10 to 15 percent of trump voters saying they would vote for either one those candidates and other dems less than 1 percent support from trump supporters.
Mark Mackover anyone who says they support tulsi and Bernie at the same time obviously hasn’t looked at her actions and policy stances.
Show me a billionaire, and I’ll show you a billion people without a dollar.
terry fuckwitt
I’ll show you a billion people with a good or service that they received in exchange for that dollar.
Klobuchar :: attacks Warren::
Warren :: clarifies her position and attacks back::
Klobuchar “we need to unite and stop bickering” 😑
“Bernie is right and I stand for everything that he says, but vote for me”
Lmfao
#Bernie2020
Jose David thats literally all warren has lmao. She’s diet 2016 bernie. No fucking thank you
Bernie doesn’t have a chance
Joe Bradford he has the biggest donor base of warren and Biden combined so idk about that
@Nasalhorse 5722 the dnc will never allow him to be the nominee and even if he did trump would destroy him in the general
@Nasalhorse 5722 even with more donations his support is weak. What does that tell you??
