Senator Bernie Sanders spoke exclusively with People CHICA about his fight for the White House in 2020. In an interview with our digital executive editor Shirley Velasquez, the senator detailed how he plans to change the priorities of the US government in order to better serve the majority. of citizens, not just the elite of billionaires.

“We don't trust our leaders that much anymore. I think a lot of people now understand that the majority of people in Congress and definitely this President - who is a racist, a xenophobe, a sexist, and a religious fanatic - I think most people now understand that Washington, DC, doesn't It is there to represent ordinary Americans, but it is there to represent the wealthy who contribute money to campaigns. There are billionaires who put hundreds of millions of dollars into campaigns and Congress listens to them, not the needs of working people, "he added. "I can't do it alone. Millions of people have to stand up and fight for justice to be done in this country. And justice means quality education for everyone, no matter what you earn,It means you don't cut taxes on billionaires, and then you cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.”

While talking about the economy, he also blamed Trump for taking the side of the country's wealthiest. "President Trump says the economy is flourishing, and in a way he is right. If you are on Wall Street you will know that last year the top five Wall Street banks made $ 100 billion,”he said. "Today in the United States, one percent of the population has more wealth than the other 92 percent, there are heads of large corporations who earn 300 times more than their workers, so what we have is an unfair and immoral economy."

The senator was also outraged at the number of children from social minorities living in poverty. “We should not have a higher level of children from black and Latino communities living in poverty than any other country in the world. We have to change our priorities as a nation."

Sanders also proposed implementing reforms to improve childcare, allow people to study for free at public universities, and pay off all student loan debts. "We need an economy that works for everyone," he emphasized.

The presidential candidate also spoke about being labeled "socialist" by many of his critics. "I am a Socialist Democrat and what I mean by that is that it is time to deal with the inequality of wealth in this country, it is morally unacceptable that a handful of people have so much wealth and so much power, that is number 1. Number 2 Whatever you call democratic socialism, social democracy and progressive government, what I want is to do what countries around the world are already doing.” Sanders cited European nations like Norway, Denmark and Sweden as examples of countries that have quality childcare at affordable prices, as well as free health and higher education systems.

The senator assures that he is defeating Trump in several popularity polls. The way to defeat him is to do the exact opposite of what he is doing. His political strategy is so disgusting that it is hard to believe, and it is dividing us - you are a Latino, a black, a white, a Muslim, a Jew, a Christian, let me see how many people I can divide and make them hate each other - Our strategy is the opposite, it is to unite people… We are all Americans and we all have common needs and we have to unite against fanaticism, hate, racism.”
