Bernie Lays Out His Plan For The Future Of Democracy



The Democratic party has a few issues that it needs to work out, and Senator Bernie Sanders (who IS still in the race, by the way) has some huge ideas on what needs to happen going forward. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

to "eat shit and die" was perfectly acceptable.


I highly doubt they were Bernie supporters.

and this political revolution to get the money out of controlling our party. Right now the dem party is so funded by big banks and wall street it will be hard to change this establishment agenda which makes it virtually impossible for a progressive candidate to win the nomination.

We could be making important strides right now. We certainly will suffer in future elections without addressing Sander's platform of issues.

Wake up, DNC!

Bernie's main reason for getting the money out of politics is so we can address Climate Change as the emergency that it is! We will not until the money influence is gone.

Bernie isn't even in the video. The person who is did not lay out any "plans", he simply listed goals. The two are fundamentally different. And the video only talks about changing the leadership and the platform of one political party in one (nominally) democratic nation out of all the democracies on earth. Only American arrogance would extrapolate that to "The Future of Democracy".

I'm pro-accuracy. I'm pro-honesty.

And for the record, I voted for Sanders in my primary.

Any other questions?

...hard to believe, but he is also one of the most effective lawmakers in Congress.
