Bernie Sanders

Thank you, Senator Sanders, and the Members of this Committee for bringing this to the forefront.

Healthcare in America, in my view, must be a human right for every man, woman, and child in this country, and not simply an opportunity for billionaire investors to make huge profits.

What I think Dick and Liz Cheney are saying is that in this existential moment in American history, it's not just issues. Cheney and I agree on nothing, no issues. But what we do believe in is that the United States should retain its…

Look, you have one vote, the average American has one vote, but billionaires could start a super PAC and put hundreds of millions of dollars – tens of millions of dollars – into defeating the people they don't like and supporting the…

When we’ve got 600,000 people sleeping out on the streets, when people can't afford to send their kids to college. You know what? You are going to start paying your fair share of taxes.

I think that there is something wrong, personally, when we are the only major country on earth not to guarantee health care to all of our people, despite spending twice as much per capita.

We live in a nation today that has more income and wealth inequality than has ever existed in the history of the United States. People on top, the billionaire class, doing phenomenally well. Sixty percent of Americans are living…

I think most progressives will say he is wrong, the president is wrong on Gaza. But the alternative is Donald Trump and that is not an acceptable alternative.

I have believed that -- I believe that the Biden Administration has been probably the most progressive administration in the United States since Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

I think every progressive in America understands that we've got to do everything we can to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

This is the most consequential election in her lifetime. She is running against somebody who is not only a pathological liar, I hear he is a very dangerous guy.

It's only believed by the corporate media and the political establishment. Working people know that the time is long overdue to have a government that represented them, rather than just wealthy campaign contributors.

The American people overwhelmingly believe as the governor does, that we should raise the minimum wage to a living wage.

If Governor Walz believes, for example, that we should cut the price of prescription drugs in this country in half to what they all around the rest of the world, over 70 percent of the American people believe that.

I think one of the misunderstandings that exist in the corporate media and in the political establishment is that standing up for working people, expanding Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision, expanding Social Security, so that…

I think the American people want somebody who's going to stand up for them and take on powerful special interests.

Look, at a time when we are moving toward an oligarchic society where a small number of billionaires exercise incredible power over our economic and political systems, I want a ticket which is prepared to stand up and fight for working…

I will do everything I can to make sure that Trump is defeated and that she is elected.

Life expectancy for working class people is 10 years shorter than it is for the rich.

We've got to raise that minimum wage to a living wage.

I believe that Kamala Harris is going to be the next president of the United States and I think, Anderson, she has a chance to win this election big.

I think President Biden is the strongest candidate the Democrats have. I think he has a very, very effective record that he can run on.

What a democracy is about, is not radical rhetoric. What it is about is a serious discussion of where we are as a nation and how we go forward.

Political violence of any kind or shape or form is unacceptable, it is un-American and we've got to put an end to it.
