Bernie Sanders: Our Socialist Policies Is ‘Exactly Where the American People Are’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: “So 66 percent of the American people want to make the very wealthy pay their fair share into Social Security. And, by the way, on a very contentious issue, 58 percent of Americans want to end U.S. military aid to Israel. They understand that we need to build housing, we need to take care of the childcare crisis. We don’t need to provide billions more to the extremist government in Israel, which has committed genocide against the Palestinian people. So what does all of this mean? What all of this means is that the American people are angry. They are tired of status quo politics and status quo policies. They want real change. They want the United States Congress to have the guts to stand up to big money interests and pass legislation that will improve their lives and their kids’ lives. So when anyone tells you that the progressive agenda is way out there, it's fringy, communistic or whatever it may be, you go back and you say, 'Yeah, on almost every major issue that we as progressives are fighting for, that’s exactly where the American people are. So, thank you very much. Let’s go forward together. And by the way, let’s make sure that we win these elections, that Democrats regain control of the House and the Senate so we put a check on Trump’s disastrous policies and that we elect as many strong progressive as possible. Thanks very much."
