During his remarks, Sanders called for political engagement, economic reform, and greater accountability from those he argues hold disproportionate power over government and public policy.
The speech energized supporters and sparked renewed debate over wealth inequality, corporate influence, and the future of American democracy.
I have said this before, surely a million times! But I will say it again: Bernie Sanders is the man who should be the president of the USA. This man has got a heart, this man cares about people, especially the underprivileged, and this man, were he to be elected as president, would definitely do something to alleviate the suffering of the masses.
Yet, it is an enigma to me why the American electorate aren’t smart enough to realize that if they elected this gentleman to the presidency, their fortunes would start to change for the better almost overnight, as would the fortunes of America itself. Overnight, America would start to change from the harsh, cruel, ante-Diluvian country it is into a modern, progressive nation which puts the well-being of its citizens first, puts the well-being if its citizens above the interests of corporations and powerful lobby groups.
I have heard it said so many times that many Americans cannot vote for Bernie Sanders because he is too left-wing, too socialist. Fact is, however, Bernie Sanders is nothing of the sort. Here in Europe, were Bernie Sanders to run for political office, he would be considered a moderate.
My message to Americans is simple and clear, and it is this: Vote for Bernie Sanders and change your fortunes for the better, and change, once and for all, the image of, and trajectory of, the nation you all profess to love so much and are all so very proud of. — © Mark Alexander
