In the end we chose no deep policies about race, or peace, or children (we did get somewhat there on the climate crisis, health care and economics). A corner of the culture that thinks of itself as so deep is so shallow, and that thinks of itself as so sophisticated is so naive.

Whether the nominee is Biden or Bernie, universal healthcare, universal access to higher education and deliverance from the burden of those college loans is an absolute must - not only to defeat Trump but to get this country morally back on track.

At a certain point you stop trying to defend yourself against lies. Those who created and spread them got what they wanted in terms of impacting my political candidacy. Now, if someone wants to read my views they’re in my books. Comments taken out of context mean very little.

Bernie has completely changed the political conversation in America. To deny his influence is absurd.

Bernie is saying what’s real and what’s true in America today. Regardless what happens, we should listen to this man. He refuses to go along with the political double-speak that has corrupted American politics.

This debate is very educational. It’s an embodiment of the contest between corporate and progressive Democrats. Corporates say, “The problem is, you guys can’t do it!” Progressives say, “No, the problem is that you guys WON’T do it!”

Joe thinks we need to handle an emergency created by the coronavirus. Bernie thinks our problem with the coronavirus is the result of a rolling emergency that’s been going on for decades.

Joe just said “People are looking for results, they’re not looking for a revolution.”I think he’s wrong.We need a nonviolent political revolution to challenge the systemic rigging of America’s economic system, or else there will be a continuing pattern of intense human suffering.

We need to do more than deal with symptoms by just providing temporary relief from suffering; we need to address underlying systemic injustices that make such suffering inevitable. We need fundamental change, not just a superficial fix - regardless of whether Big Pharma approves.

You tell ‘em, Bernie!!! Keep laying it down like it really is. People who create profit centers off human suffering are not legitimate businesspeople - they’re crooks.
