Let us wage a moral and political war against the gross wealth and income inequality... ...let us understand that when we stand together, we will always win.

Black lives, of course, matter. I spent 50 years of my life fighting for civil rights and for dignity, but if you don't want me to be here, that's OK. I don't want to out-scream people.

The U.S. constitution is an extraordinary document. In my view, it should not be amended often.

I think the issue of income and wealth inequality is in fact a moral issue.

People who know the economy is rigged in favor of big money, people who know that our middle class continues to decline and we have to go outside of establishment politics and economics, people who know that we need to reform a broken criminal justice system and we need comprehensive immigration reform.

I don't go around every other day calling for governors to resign. I don't think I ever have.

We need a Democratic Party open, that is bringing working people into the party, that is bringing young people, that bringing all of the people of this country who are sick and tired of an economy that works well for the 1 percent while the middle class struggles.
