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.

Берни Сандерс: Цитаты на английском языке

“Sanders: I have a D minus voting record, from the NRA. I lost an election probably, for congress here in Vermont back in 1988, because I believe we should not be selling or distributing assault weapons in this country. I am on record and have been for a very long time in saying we have got to significantly tighten up the background checks. We have to end the absurdity of the gun show loophole. 40 percent of the guns in this country are sold without any background checks. We have to deal with the straw man provision which allows people to legally buy guns and then distribute. We’ve got to take on the NRA. And that is my view. And I am, will do everything I can to—the tragedy that we saw in Parkland is unspeakable. And all over this country, parents are scared to death of what might happen when they send their kids to school. This problem is not going to be easily solved. Nobody has a magic solution, alright, but we’ve got to do everything we can do protect the children—
Todd: What does that mean? You say everything we can. Does that mean raising the age when you can purchase an AR-15? Does that mean limiting the purchase of AR-15s?
Sanders: Yes! Yeah, look. Chuck, what I just told you is that for 30 years, I believe that we should not be selling assault weapons in this country. These weapons are not for hunting, they are for killing human beings. These are military weapons. I do not know why we have five million of them running around the United States of America, so of course we have to do that. Of course we have to make it harder for people to purchase weapons. We have people now who are on terrorist watch lists who can purchase a weapon. Does this make any sense to anybody. Bottom line here, Republicans are going to have to say that it’s more important to protect the children of this country than to antagonize the NRA. Are they prepared to do that, I surely hope they are.”

“A nation that in many ways was created—I'm sorry to have to say this, from way back—on racist principles, that's a fact, we have come a long way as a nation.”

"Bernie Sanders to Liberty University: America Founded on 'Racist Principles, That's a Fact'" by Fred Lucas, in The Blaze (14 September 2015) http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/09/14/bernie-sanders-to-liberty-university-america-founded-on-racist-principles-thats-a-fact/

“I find it remarkable that Saudi Arabia, which borders Iraq and is controlled by a multi-billion dollar family, is demanding that U. S. combat troops have ‘boots on the ground’ against ISIS. Where are the Saudi troops? With the third largest military budget in the world and an army far larger than ISIS, the Saudi government must accept its full responsibility for stability in their own region of the world. Ultimately, this is a profound struggle for the soul of Islam, and the anti-ISIS Muslim nations must lead that fight. While the United States and other western nations should be supportive, the Muslim nations must lead.”

“The strong environmental position should not be and cannot be to do nothing, and to put our heads in the sand and pretend that the problem does not exist. It would be nice if Texas had no low-level radioactive waste, or Vermont or Maine or any other State. That would be great. That is not the reality. The environmental challenge now is, given the reality that low-level radioactive waste exists, what is the safest way of disposing of that waste. Leaving the radioactive waste at the site where it was produced, despite the fact that that site may be extremely unsafe in terms of long-term isolation of the waste and was never intended to be a long- term depository of low-level waste, is horrendous environmental policy. What sense is it to say that you have to keep the waste where it is now, even though that might be very environmentally damaging? That does not make any sense at all. No reputable scientist or environmentalist believes that the geology of Vermont or Maine would be a good place for this waste. In the humid climate of Vermont and Maine, it is more likely that groundwater will come in contact with that waste and carry off radioactive elements to the accessible environment. There is widespread scientific evidence to suggest, on the other hand, that locations in Texas, some of which receive less than 12 inches of rainfall a year, a region where the groundwater table is more than 700 feet below the surface, is a far better location for this waste. This is not a political assertion, it is a geological and environmental reality. … From an environmental point of view, I urge strong support for this legislation.”

“Our bill does what the American people want by substantially increasing the estate tax on the wealthiest families in this country and dramatically reducing wealth inequality. From a moral, economic, and political perspective our nation will not thrive when so few have so much and so many have so little.”

“In the richest country in the history of the world, it is not radical to demand that when people turn on their taps, the water they drink is safe and clean. It has been 5 years since the start of the Flint water crisis. This is absolutely unacceptable.”
