Sanders at the DNC meeting

He emphasizes that the Dems cannot win without an unprecedented grassroots uprising, getting out the vote. We need the youth and working class vote and we won't get it with some moderate candidate. That entails bold, progressive policies necessary to bring out that vote: Medicare For All, a living wage and good benefits, financial reform, fair taxation, the climate crisis and renewable energy, free colleges and canceling student debt, gun law reform including an assault rifle ban, eliminating racism and white nationalism, humane immigration reform.

Incremental change won't do it; we need a transformative revolution. Anything less is playing it safe and a losing strategy that gives Dump and the Dumpsters 4 more years to complete the destruction of our democracy. Our choice is quite clear if we want to win and save that democracy.
