I tell them: Bring better ideas.

I’ve been very clear that I want to get to Medicare for All, and I also believe that we’ve got to take a pathway there.

If we can demonstrate that campaigning on, on truth and on courage can win in Michigan, it can win anywhere.

I would tell them, how about our party finds some courage, and I’m just telling you exactly what I believe, come what may.

I am not somebody who is a socialist. I believe in capitalism, I just believe that capitalism has to be regulated.

I'm not technically or practically DSA.

This has been the heart of my public service. We wanted to come back here and demonstrate what this movement is and what it could mean.

I believe in the kind of America where no matter where you grow up, the color of your skin, how you pray, you deserve equal rights in this country.

Think of what it would say to the country, to Congress, to other politicians, if a politics that opposes corporations, that takes on their power, that opposes sending our money elsewhere wins in a place like Michigan.

Michiganders are open-minded. They’re big-hearted people.

If you don’t fight for certain things, you’re never going to get them.

I think everybody and their mom running for president is watching this race with a very keen eye.

The central corrupting feature of our politics right now is the power of money to buy politicians so that government is captured by them, not for us.

If Democrats want to find their future, I think we're showing it to them right here.

The problem too often with the Democratic party, we have an instinct to say the right thing, but we're bought off by the people who are on the side of doing the wrong thing.

It’s not about that. It’s about you. It’s about what you deserve.

If I prove that you can win statewide, taking on AIPAC and winning, that is catastrophic because of what it says about the future of the party.

AIPAC is the biggest spender in this race by far, and that’s pretty insane.

It’s about you. It’s about what you deserve.

Look, you have an option that’s not bought off by all the same corporations.

It’s just anti-democratic on its own terms.

This is just a different time, and this time calls for different kinds of candidates.

You know what people hate more than Trump? Politics as usual.

If you can’t get elected without $60 million being spent for you, you can’t get elected. I’m so sorry.

At least they’re honest about who they are, for the most part.
