Берни Сандерс
Дата рождения: 8. Сентябрь 1941
Бернард Сандерс — американский левый политик, сенатор от штата Вермонт с 2007 года. В 1981—1989 годах был мэром крупнейшего города Вермонта, Берлингтона , в 1991—2007 годах — членом Палаты представителей США.
Считает себя демократическим социалистом и сторонником скандинавской модели социал-демократии. Независимый депутат, связан с Вермонтской прогрессивной партией и партией «Союз свободы», в Сенате примыкает к Демократической партии при формировании комитетов и входит в Форум прогрессивных конгрессменов . Рекордсмен по длительности пребывания в Конгрессе США из всех независимых депутатов. С 2013 до 2015 года — председатель комитета Сената США по делам ветеранов.
Берни Сандерс является одним из ведущих голосов левого / прогрессивного крыла американской политики, позиционируя себя в качестве защитника интересов рабочего и среднего класса. Среди прочего, он выступает против влияния корпораций и Уолл-стрит, социальной несправедливости, имущественного неравенства и разрыва между богатыми и бедными, полицейского насилия и расовой дискриминации. В качестве сенатора получил широкую известность, когда в 2010 году пытался посредством восьмичасового филибастера сорвать продление введённых Джорджем Бушем-младшим налоговых льгот для богатых.
На протяжении своей политической карьеры он отстаивал гражданские, трудовые и социальные права , повышение минимального уровня оплаты труда, справедливую налоговую систему, укрепление системы социального страхования, бесплатное высшее образование и сокращение бремени студенческих долгов за обучение, более жёсткое государственное регулирование финансовой сферы , реформу пенитенциарной системы , декриминализацию марихуаны и борьбу с изменениями климата.
Сандерс активно критиковал «Патриотический акт», программы массовой слежки и многие аспекты внешней политики США, включая войну в Ираке, о возможных катастрофических последствиях которой предупреждал во время дебатов в конгрессе о предоставлении президенту разрешения вести военные действия. Указывает, что соглашения наподобие НАФТА и Транстихоокеанского партнёрства приводят к потере рабочих мест в США и сокращению заработной платы рабочих. Он приветствовал шаги в направлении нормализации отношений США с Кубой и Ираном, одновременно поддерживая санкции против России в связи с присоединением Крыма и конфликтом на востоке Украины, требуя заморозить счета высокопоставленных российских чиновников и олигархов. Считает борьбу с ИГИЛ вместе с такими странами, как Иран и Россия, приоритетной задачей США на Ближнем Востоке, выражая недовольство тем, что «большая часть бюджета по-прежнему направляется на холодную войну с Советским Союзом», а не на борьбу с терроризмом.
Наряду с Хиллари Клинтон — один из двух главных претендентов на роль кандидата от Демократической партии на президентских выборах в США в 2016 году. Получил более 10 миллионов голосов на праймериз и победил в 23 штатах. 12 июля 2016 года объявил о выходе из президентской гонки, поддержав Хиллари Клинтон.
Цитаты Берни Сандерс
„There are no "human" oppressors. Oppressors have lost their humanity.“
"Man – and Woman" in Vermont Freeman (Mid-February 1972)
1970s
Контексте: There are no "human" oppressors. Oppressors have lost their humanity. On one hand "slavishness," on the other hand "pigness." Six of one, half dozen of the other. Who wins?
Many women seem to be walking a tightrope now. Their qualities of love, openness, and gentleness were too deeply enmeshed with qualities of dependency, subservience, and masochism. How do you love — without being subservient? How do you maintain a relationship without giving up your identity and without getting strung out? How do you reach out and give your heart to your lover, but maintain the soul which is you?
„The political revolution is not about one election or one candidate. It is about transforming America and continuing the fight for economic, social, racial and environmental justice. We have to continue to work together to advance the progressive future we all support.“

„The bottom line is when Senator Inhofe says global warming is a hoax, he is just dead wrong, according to the vast majority of climate scientists.“

„Violence of any kind is unacceptable in our society and I condemn this action in the strongest possible terms. Real change can only come about through nonviolent action, and anything else runs against our most deeply held American values.“
Remarks regarding the shooting at practice for a congressional baseball game in Alexandria, Virginia (14 June 2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcH2i7um5sw
2010s, 2017
Контексте: I have just been informed that the alleged shooter at the Republican baseball practice is someone who apparently volunteered on my presidential campaign. I am sickened by this despicable act, and let me be as clear as I can be: Violence of any kind is unacceptable in our society and I condemn this action in the strongest possible terms. Real change can only come about through nonviolent action, and anything else runs against our most deeply held American values.
My hopes and prayers are that Representative Scalise, congressional staff and the Capitol Police Officers who were wounded make a quick and full recovery. I also want to thank the Capitol Police for their heroic actions to prevent further harm.
„This idea of suddenly, one day or maybe a night, rounding up 11 million people and taking them outside of this country is a vulgar, absurd idea that I would hope very few people in America support.“
2010s, 2016, Democratic Presidential Debate in Miami (9 March 2016)
Контексте: Poverty is increasing. And if wages are going down, I don’t know why we need millions of people to be coming into this country as guestworkers who will work for lower wages than American workers and drive wages down even lower than they are right now.... You have guestworker programs that have been described by the.... In this country, immigration reform is a very hot debate. It’s divided the country. But I would hope very much, that as we have that debate, we do not, as Donald Trump and others have done, resort to racism and xenophobia and bigotry. This idea of suddenly, one day or maybe a night, rounding up 11 million people and taking them outside of this country is a vulgar, absurd idea that I would hope very few people in America support.

„I think obviously vaccinations work. Vaccination has worked for many, many years. I am sensitive to the fact that there are some families who disagree but the difficulty is if I have a kid who is suffering from an illness who is subjected to a kid who walks into a room without vaccines that could kill that child and that's wrong.“

„The real issue here, if you look at the Koch Brothers' agenda, is: look at what many of the extreme right-wing people believe. Obamacare is just the tip of the iceberg. These people want to abolish the concept of the minimum wage, they want to privatize the Veteran's Administration, they want to privatize Social Security, end Medicare as we know it, massive cuts in Medicaid, wipe out the EPA, you don’t have an Environmental Protection Agency anymore, Department of Energy gone, Department of Education gone. That is the agenda. And many people don’t understand that the Koch Brothers have poured hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars into the tea party and two other kinds of ancillary organizations to push this agenda.“

„In Vermont, at a state beach, a mother is reprimanded by Authority for allowing her 6 month old daughter to go about without her diapers on. Now, if children go around naked, they are liable to see each others sexual organs, and maybe even touch them. Terrible thing! If we [raise] children up like this it will probably ruin the whole pornography business, not to mention the large segment of the general economy which makes its money by playing on peoples sexual frustrations.“

„It's funny, sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is, that people are lining up for food. That is a good thing! In other countries people don't line up for food: the rich get the food and the poor starve to death.“

„Now here is my point. Some of you may agree with me, and some of you may not, but in my view, it would be hard for anyone in this room today to make the case that the United States of America, our great country, a country which all of us love, it would be hard to make the case that we are a just society, or anything resembling a just society today.“
