There's no mechanism to force a politician to hold to anything they say in a debate. Your only guarantee is if you know that politician genuinely holds the beleifs and stances they espouse. We know Sanders does.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
