Do I consider myself a part of the casino capitalist process? No I don't. I believe in a society where all people do well.
Bernie Sanders

I know media is not necessarily focused on these things. But what a campaign is about is not Hillary Clinton, it's not Donald Trump. It is the people of this country, people who are working longer hours for lower wages, people who do not have health care or are underinsured.

I will tell you is the antidote to [Donald] Trump is a very strong progressive agenda that says, yes, I know you`re angry. And you know what? You should be angry because you`re working longer hours for low wages. You have a right to be bitter and you have a right to be that.

This country is never going to move forward unless we end Republican rule in the House and Senate.

We need to change the power structure in America, we need to end the political oligarchy.

The next time you do a filibuster, keep walking around.

These are the same people who believe, in some cases, the federal government should not play any role in providing health care to our people or protecting the environment.
Bernie Sanders

The American people understand that we need real change in this country, in my view, a political revolution, which says to the people on top, You know what, you guys can't have it all.
Bernie Sanders
Image
I think we are making progress, but we have long way to go. People also have got to understand the agenda that we are fighting for. This is a senator who has taken on every powerful special interest, whether it's Wall Street, whether it's drug companies who are ripping off the American people, the military industrial complex.
Bernie Sanders
Image
Social security is the most successful government program in our nation's history. We are not going to cut social security! We are going to expand social security!
Bernie Sanders
Image
The American people must make a fundamental decision. Do we continue the 40-year decline of our middle class and the growing gap between the very rich and everyone else, or do we fight for a progressive economic agenda that creates jobs, raises wages, protects the environment and provides health care for all?
Bernie Sanders

Interestingly, a lot of the polling that I see is not along racial lines, but along generational lines. We are doing better and better among younger people, not so well among older people, whether they're African-American, whether they're white or whether they're Latino.

The American people in my view will never support a candidate whose major theme is bigotry.
Bernie Sanders

I think if we're looking at lasting peace in the Middle East, the United States has got to respect the needs of the Palestinian people. They cannot be pushed aside.

Brothers and sisters: Now is not the time for thinking small, now is not the time for the same-old, same-old establishment politics and stale inside-the-Beltway ideas.
Bernie Sanders
Image
I think my main concern is because I worry about demagoguery. It`s real. You see the people standing up there and applauding.

The Cold War is over. And our focus has got to be on intelligence, increased manpower, fighting internationally targets.

We are living at a time where a handful of people have wealth beyond comprehension - huge yachts, jet planes, tens of billions of dollars, more money than they could spend in a thousand lifetimes. But at the same time, millions of people are struggling to feed their families or put a roof over their heads or find the money to go to a doctor.

I supported Barack Obama originally. I supported him for reelection and the alternative of a Mitt Romney is very, very clear to everybody. And I think the president has done a good job in a number of areas. But one area that has concerned me from day one has been his reliance on Wall Street type people in terms of financial matters.

People have a right to give a speech. And people have a right to protest. But I'm not a great fan of disrupting people's speeches.
