Bernie Sanders Wants You To Do One Very Important Thing – Besides Just Vote
Bernie Sanders descended on Boston, Massachusetts on Saturday evening, drawing the largest crowd in the city’s entire history – even more than the 10,000 person rally Barack Obama held during the 2008 Democratic primary. This isn’t the only thing he’s topped Obama on (campaign-wise, that is). He has also become the first candidate to reach 1 million online donations – and he did it five full months earlier than the president did even. Trying to draw on this enthusiasm, Senator Sanders doesn’t want people to lose focus on what it’s going to take to achieve real change. He wants to remind everyone of one simple truth:
“I am the only candidate that I know of in recent history that has told the American people a very simple truth..and that truth is..that no president…not Bernie Sanders or anybody else will have enough power to transform America to deal with the enormous problems facing working families in this country. No president can do it alone. The only way we make the changes that we have to make is when millions of people come together…..when we come together and make a political revolution.”
“So…. my request of you tonight is not just to help me win the Massechussets primary…but it is to help us win the day after we win the White House.”
Put another way, voters will NEVER get what they want if they do not become engaged. In much the same way there is a law of physics, there are also truths in politics. Even though there are elections every two years on the national stage, most registered voters only go to the ballots when there’s a presidential candidate on the ballot. This is a common phenomenon taught to every political science student in college, and is known as the
midterm election drop-off.
