Monday in an interview with Yahoo News’ Katie Couric, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said, “We need a political revolution, in my view, where people begin to stand up and fight.”
Sanders said, “My view is that the only way we can bring about an agenda that works for working families is when millions of people are actively involved in the political process. If a million young people march on Washington and say to the Republican leadership—we know what’s going on and you better vote to deal with student debt— you better vote to make public universities and colleges free. That’s when it will happen. We have already seen that with minimum wage. You know why minimum wage is going up around the country? Because workers are going out into to the streets. We need a political revolution, in my view, where people begin to stand up and fight and take on the big money.”
