More quotes by Bernie Sanders
Families are struggling to put bread on the table, send their kids to college and take care of their basic needs. America needs a political revolution.
Bernie Sanders
I believe that climate change is the great global crisis that we face, environmental crisis. I believe that if you're serious about climate change, you don't encourage the excavation and transportation of very dirty oil.
Bernie Sanders
It costs a hell of a lot more money to put somebody in jail than send them to the University of Virginia.
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

Bernie Sanders
Donald Trump is toast.
Bernie Sanders
People all over this country are shouting at each other. And what we need to do is bring people together to work on the agreement where there is broad consensus and that's what I intend to do.
Bernie Sanders
Demagogues like [Donald] Trump come along. He says I know what the cause is. Remember, later, the cause was that Mexicans who are coming to this country, well, they were criminals or rapists. Now it is Muslims.
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
Hillary Clinton is on record supporting a doubling of community health centers in this country, which will mean that tens of millions of people - poor people - will have access to health care that do not have it today. Is that significant? It is very significant.
Bernie Sanders
I come from a rural state. People drive 50, 100 miles to and from work every single day. That is true all over America.
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
Should a small business or a large business be able to pollute the water or the air or the food? No, I hope you don't believe that.
Bernie Sanders
The hardest thing about going to college should not be paying for it.
Bernie Sanders
I worry very much about kids growing up in a society where they think: I'm not going to talk about this issue, read this book or explore this idea because someone may think I'm a terrorist. That's not the kind of free society I want for our children.
Bernie Sanders
We can have paid family and medical leave. We can make public colleges and universities tuition-free. These are not revolutionary, radical ideas. They're kind of common sense.
Bernie Sanders
Being Jewish and having lost relatives in the Holocaust, I've always been aware of the meaning of prejudice. These are things that have remained with me throughout my political career.
