Last Night’s Debate

By Bernie Sanders, Bernie 2020

16 March 20

ne of the fundamental questions in this Democratic primary is who owns the power in this country and who can you trust to take it from those who have too much and deliver it to those who need it?

Do you want the real thing — someone who has stood with working people in the fights that matter for his entire career?

Or do you want someone who has argued that we have to cut Social Security, voted for the war in Iraq, supported the Hyde Amendment that restricts poor women’s access to abortion, has threatened to veto legislation that will guarantee health care as a right, led the fight for the disastrous bankruptcy bill, and much more?

We have to make a choice. What kind of nation do we want to be?

Do we want to work together to tackle the problems facing this country, or be one where nothing fundamentally changes for the people with power who make huge amounts of money on greed and corruption?

At a time of such economic uncertainty, in addition to the coronavirus, it’s time for all of us to ask how we got here and who our best choice is to deliver the change we need.

I believe we are that campaign. Thank you for being such an important part of it.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders
