  1. From Germany: I don’t understand how people prefer Biden over Bernie. Biden doesn’t know what he is saying. Bernie won this for sure!!!!

    1. @slick willy American businesses keep sending the low skill jobs overseas or use machines to do the work that these “low life” americans could be doing. Blame greed and corruption not the people.

    2. @Gluten Free Gam3r “El Socialismo es Comunismo” – Fidel Castro. Google what that means.

      While you’re at it, Google West Germany vs East Germany and the Berlin wall.

    3. This country is messed up brainwashed and stuck in its ways… and millennials are turning out to be lazier than we thought 🤷‍♀️☹

    4. Biden is a straw man. Obama will be the shadow president to finish what he started and Hillary failed in winning the office. Their plan was derailed by Trump. It’s Biden’s turn with the DNC. He stepped back on request for Hillary. It’s a team sport for the Dems because their game plan went full swing back in Clinton’s administration. We now know that and sadly our George W. Bush was also a participant. Trump has blown the lid on. Clinton, Bush, Obama did their parts. Hillary and Dems failed. Our mainstream media is pure propaganda and lies. No news. Trashing Trump and ALL Republicans who support him are call foul name and outrageous accusations. They’ve called for violence on republicans, they specifically tell them white people are target #1. Riots and merciless beating have poured on innocent citizens. They call daily for revolution. We have been in the grasp of this coup for 3 1/2’years. Media report none of the violence. They are hand in hand. Our Democratic majority House of Representatives has gone rogue. Treason, anti-Semitism, lies beyond belief and their voters only get info from their controlled media and spew back the propaganda fed to them. They are easily manipulated and Dems count on their ignorance and sheep behavior. We are in the Twilight Zone. Dems start new fires daily to deflect from the last. So many fires it’s overwhelming and our Republican lawmakers are fighting but overwhelmed. The impeachment of POTUS had zero bases. The lies and hypocrisy is mind blowing. They have follow Saul Alinsky’s 8 steps down the line. 90% of Demorat voters have never heard of it. It’s scary in America right now. We must prevail and take them out. Pray for America. We will not concede…🙏🇺🇸

    1. @TheTruthMatters! nooo, Bernie was asked what he would do if he was president. He said shut up the current president. If he was president, he would be the current president. I am not the one who missed the point.

  2. Joe Biden: “Medicare For All and a Single Payer system doesn’t work!”

    Also Joe Biden: “We need to pay for all Americans to be treated for the Coronavirus!”

    Literally back to back sentences.

    1. @tjsllooking: I present you the case of Nataline Sarkisyan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Nataline_Sarkisyan

      A 17 year old put to death by a medically untrained CIGNA insurance adjustor in 2007. If you look at his reasoning, it was the chance that the money they’d spend wouldn’t offer that child a long enough life, so they refused to cover the costs. As he stated in his refusal, the “..liver transplant, in *relation to* the leukenia treatment, represented an ‘experimental and unproven therapy’ and was denied…”
      This from a surgery that was at the time a 75% chance of success, as it was one of the more common transplant surgeries done in the US at the time.

      It was only made public because the nurses at the San Diego hospital went on strike in protest. The company waffled for a week as the child got closer to death, and by the time they relented and approved, it was too late.

      INSURANCE COMPANIES HAVE DEATH PANELS AND THEY RARELY EVER ARE PUBLICLY ADMITTED TO.

      Ask yourself when a family goes to file a wrongful death suit against a doctor who was following an insurance ‘protocol’ of treatment, why so many of those cases are settled out of court and usually almost always involve the families having to sign a “Confidentiality Clause” in order to get paid.

      Do you know what the words ‘hush money’ mean?

      How many families have loved ones die at the hands of insurance industry refusal to pay for the best medical paths when they may be less profitable for the company’s bottom line? The insurers will absolutely make sure the public never knows and it has billions to spend spreading lies so people like you only know their propaganda.

      Don’t fool yourself, the insurers absolutely DO have death panels and they are derived from the actuarial tables they base their plans risk/benefit coverage allowances on.

      (have you not heard of the new medical term, of ‘evidence-based medicine’? Free clue, it was what ALL medical treatment was in the decades before the insurers got into the game and started controlling
      what MD’s could or couldn’t do. Remember how HMO’s were the rage in the early 80’s? by the 90’s they stopped offering those kinds of plans as the entire industry pivoted to that model since it made them so much more profits. Kinda the same thing the way that New Coke became just plain Coke, once they dropped sugar as the sweetener and switched entirely to HFCS, as it was cheaper..)

      Insurance is not there to cover your costs, but make them profits. That’s why American medical treatment is only rated at 55% of quality, as that is the best you can do when the profit curve is applied to the pool of covered patients that get treated as averages, not individuals.

      Have fun with that and enjoy being a cash cow for the rest of your life. You need to wake up friend, these people do NOT care about you or anything but the quarterly earnings reports.

    2. Toob – You are aware that Medicaid costs are clipped out of a recipient’s welfare payments, like Medicare’s plan D costs are clipped out of Social Security disbursements, are you not?

      It ain’t free by any stretch, unless the state is kicking in support. Even then, there’s always a cost to the person getting it.

      This ain’t the 1980’s with ‘welfare queens’ pumping out countless kids and getting a free ride on the taxpayers, anymore. You’re about 40 years late on the petty, snide derision game, love. Get with the times.

    3. @foodandart
      Claiming that it should be used as a political sales pitch during a pandemic that has little to do with the issue is disgusting. If you wish to prosper when other die in the streets it is your choice but that doesn’t change the fact that it is disgusting.

      I am not arguing our current system isn’t fractured or need changed.

      I prefer dogs.

  3. Joe Biden starts his sentence with a cough and he does not do it in his elbow but straight in the air.. 
    Oh, Oh Mister Joe you better stay home for the next 2 weeks….

    1. Do as I say not as I do. Remember President Obama has told Americans not to panic over the swine flu outbreak that is spreading across the planet — but Vice President Joe Biden cautioned today that he would tell his family not to get on a plane or subway to avoid human contact.

      “I would tell members of my family, and I have, I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places right now,” he said. “It’s not that its going to Mexico, its that you are in a confined aircraft when one person sneezes, it goes everywhere through the aircraft. That’s me.”

      Sadly, there were nearly 10,000 deaths: 1,100 in children and 7,500 among young adults,” CDC Director Thomas R. Frieden, MD, MPH, said at a news conference. “That is much higher than we would see in a usual flu season. This is a flu that is much harder on young people and that has largely spared the elderly.”

      This flu prefers older people to the young. There was no epic hype at that time, in fact it was brushed under the rug “nothing to see here” in an effort to protect the president at that time.

  4. Feel the burn!!! He is the best debater and a special soul, he has a wise answer for ever question. The other is just an average joe.

    1. He answered a question about him being president in the current state, with the fact that we need to shut up the current president. Every dem must be stupid

  5. You can tell that 90% of Biden’s answers are rehearsed. We all know how Biden gets when he goes off script

    1. @Billy Summers Still better than the ones who handle their phones with poop particles on their fingers, I guess.

    2. Tesla automotive wet back to manufacturing despite it all coz they know how to wash their hands and build beautiful cars while also using alternative energy for the times.

    3. Oh yea back to the topic at hand lol coincidently i seen a reference to Tesla and was just looking at the prospects of Tesla automotive. As far as the original posts.. Good point lol

  6. 4:57 Biden: “We’ve already been through this with the coronavirus…. uh I mean the N1H1 virus”
    Bruh how do you mess up that badly twice; it’s the H1N1 virus

  7. “It’s not working for Italy, and they’re on a single payer system”

    … Dude, you serious? Depressing that this guy is leading. I can bet the DNC is rigging this against Bernie. Capitalism comes first, eh?

    1. @Alessia Menichetti but what Biden is saying is that Sanders point of talking about how Medicare for All would help in this crisis is wrong. Sanders is claiming that his system would be better than now and Biden is contending that that same system is not changing the outcome for let’s just say… The Italian people. His argument is valid, plain and simple. Now, do I think single payer is the reason Italy is fucked up. No. Is it still a garbage healthcare system. Yes. In my opinion.

    2. @Alessia Menichetti also your beloved single payer system has 50 day wait time for cardiological visits. The wait time for me is like 90 minutes.

    3. @Justin Michael I will just reply with one comment to both your answers. First, having universal healthcare (as well as some additional form of workers’ protection) would, as a matter of fact, help in: 1. (this is the most obvious) reducing the number of deaths due to the disease 2. incentivise people to actually practice social distancing/stay at home if showing symptoms hence avoiding infection of colleagues/their families etc 3. more people showing mild or not life-threatening symptoms might decide to be checked by a doctor, could be adequately tested and quarantined. These are just a few examples that come to my mind immediately, sure there are more. This said, you clearly see how the type of system you have in place DOES change the outcome of the infection. As I said, good luck when it will come.
      Second, to reply to “also your beloved single payer system has 50 day wait time for cardiological visits”. This is bullshit. Clearly you have never needed to go to the doctor in Italy. I’ll stick to your example. Suppose I might have a heart condition that needs immediate checks. Then my family doctor, to which I go for free and that tells me what type of check I need to get done, would write me a special “prescription” for this visit which states that it is urgent. They visit you within days. That is what happens for example with my 80 years old grandma. Oh, and on top of that, she is classified as low income person therefore does not pay anything. Now, let’s suppose I need to get my eyes checked (routine visit, no particular reason or worry). That might yes, take a few months before you get a slot. You have the choice to take a bus and travel 45 mins to a less populated town and maybe get an earlier slot. Or, you can go to a private clinic and pay, let’s say, 100 euros? Still not up to the US standards. Our healthcare system is not perfect, but oh God, it’s so much better than yours. I feel sorry for the thousands of Americans that actually buy into what your politicians try to sell you.
      If I might also add, I think it’s unbelievable that healthcare is not perceived as a human right.

    4. @Justin Michael no, it was a really cheap shot from Biden going after the healthcare system in Italy. It did a really good job. Things got so bad because Rome made some wrong assumptions about the time when the virus first arrived in Italy and Europe (they assumed late January, it was there since December 2019, even November). Still, they tested way more people, and faster than the US, not to mention care for sick people. Capacity may be an issue, but this is about funds given to the system, not the type of system.

      Oh, and regarding the wait time a) this is just for non-urgent procedures and you can schedule ahead anyway, and b) you can still go to a private hospital if you lack patience (and will very likely be cheaper than a visit to the doctor in the US).

    5. @Justin Michael it not a good point, the corona virus was spread with little to no info on it, so when hospitals get flooded with hundred to thousands of contaminated patients single pay and private pay will have a hell of a time getting people diagnosed and treated for it, so no that wasn’t a valid point!

  8. Really love how Biden is getting softball questions and Bernie is getting the what would you do today at this very moment. Corporate media kills me.

  9. “I agree with Bernie “ is all Biden can say and just summarize about what Bernie is saying . Pathetic
