Some Tweets from Bernie Sanders



  • Pharmaceutical companies don't donate to our campaign and we don't want their money. We want to take on their greed and slash Americans' prescription drug costs in half.
  • It is unacceptable to me that 18 million American families pay over half of their income toward housing. It is unacceptable to me that 500,000 Americans are homeless. I believe every American has a fundamental right to safe, decent and affordable housing.

  • ⚡️“Bernie Asks: What Was Your Most Absurd Medical Bill?” Thousands of people shared their health care horror stories. Read the replies. This is why we fight for Medicare for All.
  • Trump promised he would bring down the cost of your prescriptions. He lied, and drug companies continue to kill Americans with their greed. I have no intention of letting them continue to get away with murder. We will stand up to Big Pharma and cut drug prices in half.

    . is the first candidate to commit to a moratorium on all deportations upon taking office. ✅ Stopping deportations on day 1 is a requirement for any Dem serious about solving the immigration crisis. Who's next? 🤔
  • The corporate greed of the Sackler family killed thousands and ruined the lives of millions. It’s unacceptable that Purdue Pharma could escape full public accountability through corporate bankruptcy, and its executives who broke the law should go to prison.
  • The greed of General Motors: -CEO makes 281x their average worker -Pays nothing in federal income taxes -Got a $514 million tax break from Trump I stand with the 49,000 GM workers who just went on strike. Together we are going to end outrageous corporate greed.
  • Or just pass Medicare for All.
  • Please read these replies. Our corporate-run health care system is killing Americans and drowning people in debt. We need Medicare for All, which will eliminate premiums, co-pays, and deductibles and guarantee coverage to all.

    1/3 Was reading all the Presidential candidates platforms on affordable housing/rent control + listening to most recent comments - he is spot on. I’m thankful that he is elevating the conversation around rent control at the federal level at this point in time cont.
  • If you can't afford to take care of your veterans, then don't go to war.

    So many of my constituents have lost homes- even gone homeless- by unfair rent hikes. But Texas bans local rent control. That's why it’s so important that just announced his plan for national rent control to override special interests & protect millions of renters.
  • In the United States of America, one job should be enough to earn a decent living.
  • What our campaign is about is bringing millions of young people into the political process for the first time to defeat Trump and transform the country. Join me live in South Carolina:
  • This is what I mean by a rigged economy: Millions of Americans are falling into debt because they can't afford their prescription drugs. Meanwhile, drugmakers make huge profits off medication developed with taxpayer-funded research.
  • We must treat undocumented people with dignity. When we are in the White House, we will end the ICE raids which are terrorizing communities all across this country and impose a moratorium on deportations.
  • I am proud to support the workers who are standing up to the greed of GM. Our message to GM is a simple one: End the greed, sit down with the UAW and work out an agreement that treats your workers with the respect and the dignity they deserve.
