an"unprecedented response" to defeat President Trump and elect Joe Biden. Here are his remarks, as prepared for delivery:We are facing the worst public health crisis in 100 years and the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression. We are confronting systemic racism and the enormous threat to our planet of climate change. And, in the midst of all of this, we have a president who is not only incapable of addressing these crises but is leading us down the path of authoritarianism.
Under this administration authoritarianism has taken root in our country. I, and my family, and many of yours, know the insidious way authoritarianism destroys democracy, decency, and humanity. As long as I am here, I will work with progressives, with moderates, and, yes, with conservatives to preserve this nation from a threat that so many of our heroes fought and died to defeat.
And how has Trump responded? Instead of maintaining the $600 a week unemployment supplement that workers were receiving, and the $1,200 emergency checks that many of you received, instead of helping small businesses—Trump concocted fraudulent executive orders that do virtually nothing to address the crisis while threatening the very future of Social Security and Medicare.My friends, the American people have caught on that this president and his administration are, to put it bluntly, frauds.
Joe supports raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. This will give 40 million workers a pay raise and push the wage scale up for everyone else. As you know, we are the only industrialized nation not to guarantee health care for all people. While Joe and I disagree on the best path to get to universal coverage, he has a plan that will greatly expand health care and cut the cost of prescription drugs. Further, he will lower the eligibility age of Medicare from 65 to 60.
I keep my fingers crossed from East Japan🙏 I want to see a whole new world🌏😺 BernieSanders KamalaHarris JoeBiden
'The future of our democracy is at stake' Ooooohhh the irony...
Biden’s VP Kamala Harris ranks fourth for the most progressive member of the Senate. This just evidences how the Democrat party has taken such a hard turn towards liberal progressive ideology and why we must make sure President Trump is reelected.
No thanks, I don’t watch/listen to FAKE NEWS Lots of good Programs on Tuesday. Democrat Convention wouldn’t even be considerd!
Kamala Harris co-sponsored a bill forcing schools to let male athletes into girls sports. We cannot allow career politicians to force this type of indoctrination upon our children. This just evidences how out of touch Kamala is with the majority of Americans.
Bernie, what have you been doing for the last 300 years in Congress to stop this inevitable crisis?
Thanks, Bernie!
I am once again asking for you to vote for the same Administration that was above the law when they illegally spied on presidential candidate Donald Trump and have the media get behind them to blame Russia
ChrisAlbertoLaw It was true in 2016 too.
The future of my idea for a socialist totalitarian government, for an economy based on the superior soviet model is at stake...B Sanders
“Some people” will feel very uncomfortable with the future that you want for this country.
This is what every politician has been saying for 50 years. Maybe the system is designed to be broken to convince you to give these politicians money. How in the hell are we still dealing with the same issues after 50 years? This is just the way things are. Carry on.
therealsakabaka Or save America by not listening to this fool news source!
Why is he standing in front of a huge pile of wood logs? What about the green new deal? He's obviously using wood to heat. Weird.
Hey bs, you forgot the Universe, it’s at stake too😎
You are part of this all these years
A Marxist who spent his honeymoon in the former Soviet Union, praised Castro, wants to dictate what we eat, drive and how we live by changing our lifestyles thru eliminating fossil fuel, wants to dictate how we obtain healthcare, wants to disarm us, calls Trump authoritarian.
Oh, Bernie. Your ultra-liberal policies were never rooted in reality but you never cared if they had the very real potential to bankrupt our country. Kamala is unfit for office (Exhibit A: her disruptive kindergarten antics during the JusticeKavanaugh hearings. She's BAD
Gdad1 Now if Bernie had done this in 2016 we wouldn't be here now.
Entrenched democratic egos are killing biden-harris chances. The dems have still not learned how to be strategic vs the fine tuned republican machine. Not giving young people a voice will not get out young people out to vote. DemocraticConvention AOC MedicareForAll
So you fully support the violent acts of your movement? I’ve seen enough, you radicals have ruined the party. Shame on you
What is not normal is people being drug from their truck and being beaten by democrats and the people they have let out of prison. A socialist running for office in a democratic society not normal The only thing normal is YOU lying and continuing to lie with the truth on video
A vote for Harris/Biden is a transition to socialism.
ProgressiveTex3 Sorry, bro. Nope.
Blah, blah, blah. If anyone decides who to vote for by what is said at either convention, they haven't been paying attention and aren't thinking independently. Conventions are for lemmings.
Nope. Not happening.
LMAO I’d rather vote for trump those 2 scare me with their stupidity more then trump does.
“That’s the most wood Ive seen around this house since the first week of Viagra,” said Mrs. Sanders
Trump is going to win
Bernie has become Winston Smith at the end of 1984 when they take the cage of rats off his face and he loves Big Brother now. Heartbreaking.
No, I disagree with you SenSanders. You lied to your supporters and folded behind CrimeBillJoe (JoeBiden) with his new sidekick KamalaHarris who did zero to persecute police brutality in Cali as AG. DemocratPlantation
Thank you Bernie Sanders!!!
Biden stands in front of a group of blacks and says he learned a lot about roaches. From the racial slurs database: Roach Race: black They come out at night to raise hell - turn on the lights and they scatter. Often used by white power groups pre 70s.
And if you want your county to look like NYC, Chicago, or Portland vote blue. If you don’t vote for Joe you anit black
Only neoliberals like Bernie Sanders now, 2020 is wild.
Good for Bernie. Oh, how many fewer people would have died from Trumpvirus if we had all listened to Bernie regarding health care in 2016?
Who?
Yeah the economy is doing better with trump.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump • Oppose single-payer • Oppose a ban on fracking • Oppose tuition-free public college • Documented pathological lies • Support ICE • Support military budget increases • Support sanctions • Support 'illegal entry statute'
Sanders: “It impacts me very profoundly. I was aware of the horrible things that human beings can do to other people in the name of Nazism.” —People volunteer the rhetorical comparisons because they haven’t thought hard about history and what’s different
Is Bernie into BDSM? He likes being submissive.
bruh that leash doesn't look good on you
JoeBiden is a pathological liar & plagiarist. He’s been doing these things for decades & he has admitted it!! This is your DNC candidate. He’s a complete failure who has accomplished nothing in his political career but lie & steal.
What a sell out
theProgSoapbox
See, fear, scare tactics, nothing positive, all negstive. This was a complete failed convention.
Blah Blah Blah
They ran him out of getting in the oval office twice and he still endorsed them What the actual F is going on here...
It must have taken all of BernieSanders willpower not to turn around and burn that American flag behind him...
I’m Joe Biden and I forgot this message
You are such a liar! Wow!
Love me some Bernie. Stay strong and healthy sir, your nation needs you
When is his next book coming out? He became a millionaire after bailing-out of the last election. Surely, he is looking for another million, plus.
Thank you BernieSanders
Too bad Bernie. You look even sillier than 4 years ago. Poor guy.
Your Neo-Nazi anti-White RACE HATE propaganda is killing people! The Axis Powers - Diversity was THEIR STRENGTH!
So the solution is to choose Biden, a career war criminal & architect of mass incarceration & a dirty prosecutor that made a career off Black mass incarceration & also tried to keep innocent folks behind bars.
❤ Thank You Bernie!
FCC do your job. equaltime section315
No self respect. You got ghosted by the Dems and still come back to be their lap dog.
I appreciate him stepping up. We are in dire straits Unity2020
Great speech. Thank you for remembering the 20mil unemployed still waiting for help or eviction. You seem to be the only senator that remembers us....
