(180 posts)Thanks for posting Bernies interview, I didn't know he was a guest on Colbert's show. Finally some prime time coverage.
If he's on any other shows being interviewed please post.
Thanks!
Anyone know if Bernie is coming to Chicago?

And it was well worth the watch.

(7,830 posts)(I'm impressed you don't have a TV! I gave up cable, but still have internet & antenna on my big ole electricity-sucking TV. )

(18,998 posts)I gave up cable years ago and I live in a place that cannot receive it from an antena...so I got nothing.
The internet is my sole source for TV...and I don't miss it a bit. There is enough content on You Tube to give me all I want.

(26,573 posts)I'm a Bernie supporter. Now that he's getting more national attention, he needs to refine his message a bit. Most of us here on DU know how supply side economics, reduced government regulations, huge tax breaks and loopholes, and the capital gains tax scam have redistributed wealth to the top, but the disengaged and disinterested don't get that. It's so much easier to blame Mexicans than to actually think about it.
We have to make people understand we already have socialism; for the rich! Time to turn it around.

(7,830 posts)reads it. So very true. This would help him nationally quite a bit.

(26,573 posts)but I'm thinking we're ready for details. Start with the ridiculously low minimum wage..a huge giveaway to profitable corporations, allowing them to avoid sharing the profits with the very workers earning it.
