While Bernie was giving this passionate speech to an empty room, Warren was a republican. Don't let people trick you into thinking they're the same.

@Igor Horváth sure buddy the US that funds the biggest and most expensive military in the world will go bankrupt if it provided basic necessity's such as healthcare and education to all it's citizens. Something which every other developed country in the world managed to do. I sometimes wonder why the US citizens all collectively act like old bitter men that see everything free as a communist scam designed to ruin America, but now i realize that years of a bad education system had it's effect on you.

+Brandonio Granger This video reminds me A LOT, almost deju vu, when Ron Paul ran last elections.... I watched his SAME video similar to this (Ron Paul Predictions, MUST see!). I saw so many Ron Paul supporters, and everything.... and then when the final decision came, the lobbyists and corrupt politicians chose RoMONEY instead of Ron Paul, even though Ron Paul had far more public support online and in my city of Miami. It was corrupt how they chose romney, and you know what, the same thing is going to happen to Bernie, I have a HUGE feeling the fools will elect Hillary even though she is under federal investigation as the Democrat candidate, simply because too many rich corporations and democrats themselves put money into her.... he will get ''Ron Pauled'' in the last democratic debate, I hate to say it but this corrupt system seems to prechose everything, ever since the 2000 elections its been nothing but bogus candidates nobody really supports in the mainstream!

Every single thing I have seen of Bernie Sanders, and I have been looking up quite a bit, has impressed me. He employs honesty, integrity, empathy and LOGIC in all things and has consistently displayed that for DECADES. This type of politician is so rare, we can't pass up this opportunity to have him for president. Bernie Sanders 2016!!!
Immediately into his very first term in the House, Bernie makes this important stand. Always, always, always there for the good of The People! Even though his fellow House Members would not bother to listen, I am so glad he did it to have in the record for posterity. #BERNIE2020

Nobody was even listening but he still stood up to say exactly what needed to be said anyway, to an empty and unsympathetic room, not because it was politically expedient, but because it was the right thing to do. Bless you Bernie Sanders, you are a good and honest man.
He spoke with the same passion and purpose to an empty room as he does with a full room. We all should be more like that

He was speaking to whoever would listen. Maybe whoever was actually watching CSPAN back then. #Bernie2020
Who was the person still watching? They need props.
I happy to still be young enough to see our country fix itself. the people are finally seeing through their bullshit.
Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need.
No one, not a single fucking person can argue that Bernie doesn't have moral leadership. This video completely proves otherwise and Bernie is a complete anomaly that we, the people, need to seize for opportunity. We cannot fuck this up in 2020.
