More quotes by Bernie Sanders
Rich get richer. Everyone else gets poorer. And all these guys can talk about is war and defunding Planned Parenthood.
Bernie Sanders
In fact, climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism.
Bernie Sanders
Do the elected officials in Washington stand with ordinary Americans - working families, children, the elderly, the poor - or will the extraordinary power of billionaire campaign contributors and Big Money prevail? The American people, by the millions, must send Congress the answer to that question.
Bernie Sanders
Ben Carson and I don`t have much in common politically. But the fact is when you have kids getting involved in the political process, doing their best to elect the candidates of their choice, that`s what the American democracy is about.
Bernie Sanders
I am running for president as a Democrat. And if elected, not only do I hope to bring forth a major change in national priorities, but let me be frank, I do want to see major changes in the Democratic Party.
Bernie Sanders
An America where every person, no matter their race, their disability or their sexual orientation realizes the full promise of equality that is our birthright as Americans.
Bernie Sanders
What does a political revolution look like? It means that 80 percent of the people vote in national elections, not 40 percent. It means that billionaires can't make unlimited campaign contributions and buy and sell politicians. It means that the U.S. government represents the needs of all the people, not just the 1 percent and their lobbyists.
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
I love music, I'm very eclectic. On my iPad I have the complete works of Ludwig van Beethoven.
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
It is a public financing system that everybody knows is antiquated. It no longer works. Nobody can become president based on that system.
Bernie Sanders
The Republican I ran against, at the end of the campaign, had decided that I was a friend of terrorists and a friend of pedophiles. That's the kind of crap they came out with. I expect that's the kind of crap they'll come out with again.
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
If elected president I will have a litmus test in terms of my nominee to be a Supreme Court justice. And the nominee will say, we are going to overturn this disastrous decision on Citizens United because that decision is undermining American democracy. I do not believe that billionaires should be allowed to buy politicians.
Bernie Sanders
The cost of prescription drugs in this country is far, far higher than in any other country. You may recall that Donald Trump as a candidate for president talked about how he was going to take on the pharmaceutical industry and it was going to lower prescription drug costs.
Bernie Sanders
In America, we have struggled too much, too long as a country trying to overcome racism and sexism and homophobia. We cannot go back to a more discriminatory society.
Bernie Sanders
You know, I think many people have the mistaken impression that Congress regulates Wall Street. In truth that's not the case. The real truth is that Wall Street regulates the Congress.
Bernie Sanders
The hardest thing about going to college should not be paying for it.
Bernie Sanders
What the people here have said is that given the enormous crises facing our country, it is just too late for the same old, same old establishment politics and establishment economics.
Bernie Sanders
It costs a hell of a lot more money to put somebody in jail than send them to the University of Virginia.
