Some Tweets from Bernie Sanders

    The Camp Fire killed at least 85 people and destroyed 14,000 homes. It was the most destructive wildfire in California's history—and climate change is making fires much worse. We will address the climate crisis and pass a Green New Deal.
  • Betsy DeVos may not agree, but we believe young people should leave school excited about the future—not saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in student debt. We will cancel student debt and make public colleges, universities and trade schools tuition-free.
  • In 2016 voter turnout was only 46% among voters under 30 compared to 71% of voters over 65. Young people do not think a political system which lets billionaires buy elections works for them. We are going to change that and give them a reason to get involved.

    Thank you for standing with workers !
  • Congress gives hundreds of billions of dollars to fund our endless wars each year, yet making public college and universities tuition-free is somehow "too radical." I reject that.
  • I stand with the 3,000 and public servants fighting to provide quality city services to the residents of Oakland. It's unacceptable that 600 positions are currently unfilled.
  • Corporations should not be getting massive federal contracts if they pay their workers starvation wages. When I am president that ends.
  • "I would be so proud to win, but also to make history and elect the first Jewish American president this country has ever seen and for his name to be Bernard Sanders." –
  • Progress takes place when young people pick up the torch and say, "This is a world we are going to change."

    How do you know who is really on your side? Watch myspeech introducing in Brooklyn earlier this week...
  • "There has been only one candidate who has been with you the whole time. When Bernie Sanders walks into the White House... we walk into the White House together." -
  • The average cost of college tuition in: Denmark: $0 / year Finland: $0 / year Germany: $0 / year Norway: $0 /year Poland: $0 / year Sweden: $0 / year United States: $8,202 / year College for All is not an impossible idea.
  • Thank you to the heroic members of the who are working around the clock and flying into Hurricane Dorian to give us the forecasts and warnings people need to stay safe.
  • The Democratic Party must be holding the fossil fuel industry accountable for helping to destroy the planet, not collecting campaign contributions and other donations from them.
