More quotes by Bernie Sanders
Politically, as a result of Citizens United, billionaires are now able to spend as much money as they want on campaigns, which means that you have a political system which is heavily dominated by corporations and wealthy individuals.
Bernie Sanders
I think Donald Trump is totally unfit to be president of the United States. Let's not forget, this guy was one of the leaders of the so-called birther movement, which was an effort to delegitimize the presidency of the first African-American president we have ever had.
Bernie Sanders
Super PACs and a corrupt campaign finance system are destroying American democracy. We're proud that we have received four million individual contributions, more than any candidate in American history at this point.
Bernie Sanders
I'm not going to get establishment support. I'm not going to get the support of the governors and the senators, with few exceptions, and many of the major organizations.
Bernie Sanders
Of course their [Cuba's] economy is terrible, but they have Health Care and education.
Bernie Sanders
Americans' right to free speech should not be proportionate to their bank accounts.
Bernie Sanders
It's not in the interest of the corporations who own the networks to actually be educating the American people so that are debating the real issues. It's much better to deflect attention away from issues and get into the story of the day.
Bernie Sanders
Democrats need to become a 50-state party. You can't have a great party on the West Coast and the East Coast. You need to have a party in all 50 states.
Bernie Sanders
I`m a former mayor. I know that being a cop is not an easy job. But when police officers misbehave, they`ve got to be held accountable.
Bernie Sanders
I do believe that billionaires and multi-millionaires should be paying more in taxes.
Bernie Sanders
The good news is that the American people, not just the African-American community are saying enough is enough. You can`t hold people in custody and suddenly find out that they are dead. You can`t shoot people in the back.
Bernie Sanders
What we have got to do immediately is to say that racism and xenophobia is totally unacceptable and we will stand with the 1 percent of our population who are Muslims, for undocumented people in this country. Absolutely, we will stand.
Bernie Sanders
I think we should look to countries like Denmark, like Sweden and Norway, and learn from what they have accomplished for their working people.
Bernie Sanders
Big business is willing to destroy the planet for short-term profits
Bernie Sanders
I believe what Martin Luther King Jr. believed. You remember what the title of the March on Washington was? Jobs and Freedom. What King understood is that you have to deal with the economic issues as well as the political issues and the civil rights issues.
Bernie Sanders
I think, clearly, we got to work closely with China to resolve the serious problems we have, and I worry about Putin and his military adventurism in the Crimea and the Ukraine.
Bernie Sanders
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.
Bernie Sanders
If you ask me about my views on the environment, on women's rights, on gay rights, I am liberal. I don't have a problem with that at all. Some of my best friends are liberal.
Bernie Sanders
The middle class in America is at a tipping point. It will not last another generation if we don't boldly change course now.
Bernie Sanders
In my view, a corporation is not a person. A corporation does not have First Amendment rights to spend as much money as it wants, without disclosure, on a political campaign.
