Bernie Sanders in his own verse...
“A politics of struggle is rooted in values and vision, and above all trust. It involves a compact a candidate makes with the people who share the values, who embrace the vision. It doesn’t say, ‘Vote for me and I’ll fix everything.’ It says, ‘If I get elected, I will not just work for you, I will work with you.’ The work may mean implementing a program at the local level or sponsoring legislation at the federal level, but what matters most is the connection that is made between people and their elected representatives—the connection that says there is someone on the inside who is going to fight for the citizens outside the halls of power. When citizens recognize that this fight is being waged, they are energized. They make bigger demands. They build stronger movements. They forge a politics that is more than winning an election; they forge a politics that is about transforming a city, a state, a nation, and maybe the world."
