What Bernie Sanders said at his Sacramento rally last night

[Uncle Joe]

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders spoke to a raucous crowd in downtown Sacramento Thursday evening, hitting on some familiar themes – and familiar targets – in a 30-minute speech before a crowd of more than 4,000 that filled Cesar Chavez Plaza.

The self-described Democratic Socialist painted a gloomy picture of the current state of the country. But Sanders promised that, if elected, he could help lead a “political revolution” to upend the status quo, a pitch he campaigned on during the 2016 election, as well.

“Brothers and sisters, I wish that I could come before you and tell you that, you know, we can make some minor changes over here, a few little changes over here, and things will be okay. I wish I could tell you that,” Sanders told the crowd. But if I told you that I would be lying to you.”

“We need fundamental changes in the way we do politics in America, the way we do economics in America, the way we do energy in America, the way we do criminal justice and immigration reform in America,” Sanders continued, as the crowd began to chant his name.

1. That's true.

Teeny little changes won't accomplish much, and are easily undone by the next republicon administration.

Today's circumstances are disastrous, the Democratic action needs to be bold and effective and long-lasting.

2. I agree on all counts FoxNewsSucks

I believe little changes would just set the stage for another Trump to come along and probably worse than this one because he has expanded the envelope on what can be expected if not tolerated.

3. Whatever happened to "Hope and Change"

Senator Sanders plans are far truer to the spirit of Hope and Change than anyone in the current race.

His plans are all positive and inclusive, plain and simple, well articulated and bold like his speaking style.
