Bernie Sanders: “In the 1920s, women won the right to vote.”

“You know, that's the way the system is. Rich people have the power, they have the money, they vote. People fought. And over the years, we had universal suffrage. In the 1920s, women won the right to vote. We look back on it now, we say, oh, no big deal, everybody has the right to vote. Trust me, that was a huge struggle. People had to overcome huge hurdles.” (39:03–39:07)
