I don't consider myself a pariah.
Bernie Sanders

When people get out of jail, it is not easy for them to find a job. It is not easy for them to return to civil society.

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.

If you are not prepared top take care of the men and women who put their lives on the line to defend this country - who came back wounded in body, wounded in spirit - if you're not prepared to help those people, then don't send them to war in the first place.

I intend to introduce legislation that will make police accountable for their actions and limit uses of force in cases where it is unnecessary.
Bernie Sanders
Image
I have one of the strongest records in fighting for senior citizens. I led the effort to prevent cuts to Social Security. But I think for some seniors, they remember the evil empire of the Soviet Union. They conflated the term democratic socialism with communism.
Bernie Sanders
Image
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
Image
We have to say to the billionaire class, enough is enough. You cannot have it all. You are going to pay more in taxes.
Bernie Sanders
Image
When the average Social Security benefit is $1328 a month, and more than one-third of our senior citizens rely on Social Security for Virtually all of their income, our job is to expand benefits, not cut them.
Bernie Sanders
Image
The greed of the billionaire class has got to end and we are going to end it for them.
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
You need a Democratic Party which is a grassroots party, which makes decisions from the bottom on up, not just from the top on down.
Bernie Sanders
Image
I fully, fully concede that Secretary Hillary Clinton, who was secretary of State for four years, has more experience - hat is not arguable - in foreign affairs.

I have a long history in fighting for civil rights. I understand that many people in the African-American community may not understand that.
