Bernie Sanders First Major Public Address 2020 [View all]

Last edited Fri Sep 25, 2020, 12:17 AM - Edit history (1)

Sen. Bernie Sanders gives a speech on the integrity of the upcoming Nov. 3 election at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

The speech is Sanders' first in-person event since he ended his presidential bid in the spring.

Glad to see him on Rachel's show tonight, and that he's hitting the road for Biden and Democracy for at least the next month.

His independent voice will be heard by people discouraged by party politics, and he'll give them the best of objective reasons to vote.

The most important thing about this speech is that it is a clarion call to both the U.S. Military and American people that we are facing a real threat to our Constitution. The key emphasis was clear: autocracy is being attempted. As Masha Gessen said tonight on Rachel, the autocratic threshold could be passed and autocracy solidified in the next four years.

I misread that record and have edited my post. Bernie did not vote on the second measure. CentralMass Sep 2020 #11
No problem. Either way, we and he can see how productive the majority were from 11am-4:30pm ancianita Sep 2020 #13
