Bernie Sanders Fires Back at Trump Over Socialism In a recent CNN town hall, Bernie Sanders addressed the criticism from Donald Trump regarding socialism, articulating his vision for America should he be elected president.

- Expanding Medicare for All
- Addressing climate change with comprehensive legislation
- Investing in renewable energy to create jobs
- Making college tuition-free for public institutions
