Enjoyable interview on Sky News. I like the gentle way he pushes back against being called radical. And he's right, of course. Bernie is 81. Energizer bunny?
This Is Why We Need More Bernies

Bernie is awesome. I don't agree with him on some things, but I feel he is a true patriot to humankind.
I so wanted to see Bernie in a general election. He would have blown some MAGAs minds. He wants everyone to do well, not just the 1 percenters
There we go. Q has given their input.
He’s even too radical for most Democrats and saying something. Kind of funny how Democrats torpedoed his presidential bid twice.
Anyone who claims Sanders is a "radical" should compile a list of his "radical" policy stances. Many of his views are unrealistic in light of the corporate ownership of virtually all facets of our government, but they are policies that exist and work elsewhere to the benefit of the majority of people.
He still has the best political ad I've seen produced during my lifetime.
Capitalism has been very good to Bernie Sanders.
Messy hair Bernie > fresh haircut Bernie 😀
I just ordered his latest book. Yes, he's written a few. I'll let you know how he feels about capitalism when I'm actually reading it.
The title notwithstanding, it's quite possible to be angry about capitalism without wanting to completely eliminate it. In fact, if you are a thinking person, it's probably required to be angry about it.
Bernie has done OK. Right wingers like to bitch about his house situation. I guess they don't think he and his wife should have inherited a house from her parents. Otherwise what's wrong with a guy on Senate pay ($174K) having more than 1 house?

I'm so confused. I just watched a one-minute political ad, and I still can't figure out who poses and existential threat that I'm supposed to be terrified of.
Yeah, notwithstanding what Hillary supporters were told, and too many promptly parroted, Bernie ran a very clean and decent campaign.

I probably disagree with 90% of Bernie’s policy stances but I do respect the guy and believe he is fairly honest compared to most politicians. Granted, that is a low bar. He did get screwed over by the DNC and Hillary & Company in 2016.
I used to think Bernie was far too extreme, but now think he's exactly what this country needs.
I loathe Jeremy Corbyn but what he says in this reply is 100% accurate
Bingo.
The first time he ran for POTUS I thought he was kind of a nut. But then we elected Donald Trump and discovered what a nut really is.
Ten people in the US are worth a combined $1 trillion. The combined wealth in this country is $111 trillion, But our government is $31 trillion in debt and we have millions and millions of people with very little income and no net worth.

It's good to see Bernie still fighting the good fight.
I agree with some of the things Bernie says, social security being one of them. Why cap the amount of taxes paid by people into the system makes no sense for people making over the $160,000 cap, increase it to $1 million cap to get money into the system.
And yes, capitalism has been good to Bernie which isn’t a bad thing. Have no problem with him making money, just like all people that want to try and be successful in this country. I tire of the pay their fair share statement. Change the laws if you don’t think people are paying enough.

One thing is absolutely certain, he has been steadfast in his views for 60 years.
I'm really grateful that you keep posting illuminating clips like these. Thanks.
We have a lot of people here who profess to respect Bernie (good) but not to agree with him. I suspect they would agree with him more if they actually see what he stands for.
As he says, 7 days of sick leave is not radical. And sick leave for all employees, not just some, isn't radical.
