We spoke to Bernie Sanders about alleged health insurance CEO shooter Luigi Mangione, the crisis of for-profit health care in America, why only a mass movement can win Medicare for All, and how to fight the growing share of working-class votes for the Right.

    I want to live in the timeline where things Bernie sees actually come true.

    Bernie can read the room. These other fuckers very much less so.

      I’d step back onto the streets with Bernie at the head again. A small part of me still holds that hope from 2016.

      The others can read the room too; they’re just in an entirely different room.

    Yes, it can and that’s why we should keep trying.

    But it does seem less likely than in 2016.

    I’m not desperate (am Canadian) but I don’t blame desperate people.

    The ends don’t justify the means but no one is denying that they do get results.

    And that the correct means have been tried for decades.

      I feel like we’ve made more progress in our national discussion regarfing healthcare since the assassination than we have in the previous 10 years.

      I don’t want to think that violence is the answer, but damn if it ain’t a conversation starter.

    We’ve had several mass movements about it over the past 15~20 years, the only thing that has worked so far is lead poisoning.

    certainly if the movement is fast enough, as we’ve learned.

    But when I say the same solution I get banned from communities for being a “coward” and “copaganda.”

      I think if Bernie suggested murdering all the CEOs he’d get banned from his communities, though.

        I don’t think such things have ever or will ever stop Bernie Sanders from speaking his mind.

          I think they’re suggesting that the system allowed Bernie because he advocates working within it, not that he hid his beliefs to be more accepted.
