Bernie Sanders exclusive interview with EL PAIS [View all]

Q. You are an 84-year-old politician with a legion of young followers, among whom disillusionment often prevails. From the weight of your experience, are these the worst times you have ever lived through?
A. These are the most dangerous times that the United States has faced in modern history. That is unquestionable, but having gone all over the country, having spoken over the years to thousands of people, I think the average American is decent, believes in democracy, believes in justice. I also believe we will not only defeat Trumpism, we’re going to create a much more just and fair United States of America for working people.
