More quotes by Bernie Sanders
I am very proud of the campaign we ran and the supporters that came on board.
Bernie Sanders
We did really, really badly with older African-American voters. I mean we got decimated.

Today, over half of American workers have less than $10,000 in savings and have no idea how they will be able to retire with any shred of dignity.
Bernie Sanders
Of course their [Cuba's] economy is terrible, but they have Health Care and education.
Bernie Sanders
The billionaires and their super PACs increasingly control the American political process. This is not democracy. This is not what brave Americans fought and died to defend. This is oligarchy. This is government of the few, by the few and for the few. We must overturn Citizen United and move to public funding of elections.
Bernie Sanders
Hillary Clinton does represent the establishment. I represent, I hope, ordinary Americans, and by the way, who are not all that enamored with the establishment, but I am very proud to have people like Keith Ellison and Raul Grijalva in the House, the co-chairmen of the House Progressive Caucus.
Bernie Sanders
Today, the United States is No. 1 in corporate profits, No. 1 in CEO salaries, No. 1 in childhood poverty and No. 1 in income and wealth inequality in the industrialized world.
Bernie Sanders
People are hurting and angry, and they want something to be able to stand up and fight for. That's what I believe the antidote is to Trumpism.
Bernie Sanders
Health care in America must be a right, not a privilege.
Bernie Sanders
I will challenge anybody with regard to my record on LGBT issues.
Bernie Sanders
I would love it if everybody in America agreed with me on every issue. I can't get my wife to agree with me on every issue, let alone the American people. It's called democracy. That's what it's about.
Bernie Sanders
To be honest with you, I worry about concentration of ownership in media, where you have a handful of media conglomerates largely controlling what we see, hear and read.
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
What every American should know is that we have more people in jail today than any other country on Earth, more than China. We have some 2.2 million people in jail. What that means is that a lot of lives are being destroyed.
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 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.
Bernie Sanders
I am disappointed that after all of the struggles that we have had in this country for such a long time, trying to get through and beyond racism and bigotry and discrimination - I think it is sad. It just tells us the kind of work that we have to do as - as America, as a nation.
Bernie Sanders
Let us wage a moral and political war against war itself, so that we can cut military spending and use that money for human needs.
Bernie Sanders
Politics does not end the day of the election.
Bernie Sanders
We have organizations, whether it is ISIS or Al Qaida, who do believe we should go back several thousand years. We should make women third-class citizens, that we should allow children to be sexually assaulted. They are a danger to modern society.
Bernie Sanders
