Bernie Sanders urges cheering supporters to join his "political revolution"
NORFOLK VA -- Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders told a crowd of about 3,500 in Scope on Tuesday that it won’t be enough for them to put him in the White House and then take a breather.
“If I were to tell you, ‘Hey, elect me president, turn on the TV, relax, don’t worry about anything, I will take care of it all,’” Sanders said as he began his hourlong speech. “If I told you that, I would be lying to you.”
There must be “a political revolution in which millions of people understand democracy is not a football game,” he said. “People in this community, where you have a strong military, you understand that people have fought and died to defend American democracy. … You are that democracy.”
“You are very, very powerful people when you start flexing your muscles, and that’s what everyone has got to do right now,” he said as the crowd roared in approval.
