On Day 1, I said the Keystone pipeline is a dumb idea, why did it take Hillary Clinton such a long time before she came into opposition to the Keystone pipeline? Bernie Sanders More Quotes by Bernie Sanders More Quotes From Bernie Sanders We need to demilitarize local police departments so that they do not look like occupying armies. We want police departments that look like the communities they are serving. Bernie Sanders policearmycommunity The only way change happens is when people become more significantly involved in the political process. We have to increase voter turnout and citizen participation so that people know what's going on and demand a government that works for everybody and not just the one percent. Bernie Sanders politicalgovernmentpeople One of the ongoing crises in America is institutional racism. We have a very broken criminal justice system. We live in a country where there are more people in jail than any other country on Earth. There are some 2.2 million people currently incarcerated and they are disproportionally African American and Hispanic. Unarmed African Americans have been abused and sometimes killed while in police custody. Clearly these are issues that must be dealt with and changed. Bernie Sanders jailcountryamerica We are looking at a lot of dishonest news that comes across where people are lying outrageously about other people. And I hope that folks on all sides could say, "Look, I disagree with him or her, but that is an outrageous lie." Bernie Sanders disagreelyingpeople Donald Trump is toast. Bernie Sanders toaststrump I want to break up the Wall Street banks. Hillary Clinton doesn't. I want to raise the minimum wage to 15 bucks an hour. She wants $12 an hour. I voted against the War in Iraq. She voted for the War in Iraq. I believe we should ban fracking. She does not. I believe we should have tax on carbon and deal aggressively with climate change. That is not her position. Bernie Sanders wallwarbelieve If we can create a climate among people that says that any serious candidate for president, Senate, governor, [the] House is going to have to talk about income inequality, raising wages in America, trade policy - that's a huge success. It's not putting pressure on a candidate. It's mobilizing people. Bernie Sanders houseamericapeople I think, in my own state, I can tell you that people do want to hear a serious discussion on serious issues. Bernie Sanders issuespeoplethinking Believe me, every American, every person in this country, if I have anything to say about it, will know precisely what is going on with Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, because they are beginning to appoint people who are typical right-wing Republicans who want to privatize and cut Social Security. Bernie Sanders cuttingbelievecountry On many, many issues, Hillary Clinton's views are progressive. In many areas, they are awesome. Where they're not progressive, we've got to push her, and the day after the election, I will mobilize millions of people to make sure that we make her the most progressive president that she can be. Bernie Sanders issuesviewspeople I'm a United States senator, and I have a responsibility to the people of my state - also to the people of this country. Bernie Sanders responsibilitycountrypeople The first thing that I've got to think about is: What does a Donald Trump presidency mean for the people of my state and for the people of this country? And for the people of the world? I think it would be an absolute disaster. It would be beyond a disaster. Bernie Sanders meancountrythinking 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 seniorcuttingfighting If you look at virtually all of the issues of importance to the people of America - issues like making public colleges and universities tuition-free - Hillary Clinton is now on record for doing that for people making $125,000 a year or less. You know what? That is pretty revolutionary. That will transform the lives of millions of families in this country. That's what Clinton stands for. Bernie Sanders collegecountryamerica Hillary Clinton is on record supporting a doubling of community health centers in this country, which will mean that tens of millions of people - poor people - will have access to health care that do not have it today. Is that significant? It is very significant. Bernie Sanders meancountrypeople If Trump is elected president... I just don't know what America looks like four years after his election, in terms of the kind of bigotry that will be erupting, in terms of the kind of divisiveness that we will see, the kind of demagoguery that we will see. Bernie Sanders presidentamericayears What I would say to the establishment is that there is far more discontent among the American people than they believe. Bernie Sanders establishmentbelievepeople I'm not going to tell you I know George W. Bush intimately. I'm not going to tell you we're best friends. I'll tell you I met him on a number of occasions. You know what? George W. Bush is a very nice guy. Very funny guy. His wife is a very nice woman; I thought she was a great first lady. George [W.] Bush was the worst president in the history of the United States of America... The issue is not Bernie Sanders. The issue is the Koch brothers. The issue is who owns America. Bernie Sanders nicebrothernumbers I think that the media spends far too much time [on personalities]. Bernie Sanders mediapersonalitythinking As a United States senator, I've got to do everything that I can to make sure that Trump does not become president. Bernie Sanders united-statespresidentdoe
