Sanders Albany Speech 6-24 a Bit Different
Sanders's rally this morning in Albany in which he interacted with a packed house of supporters focused mostly on how change is made.
"Struggle and victory is not easy. We've got to keep going," he said. "And what this campaign has accomplished is just opening up the doors to a process that must, must, must continue, and that's why I'm here today."
Note: At 7:00 pm tonight, Sanders will be speaking in Syracuse.
Edited to add: Comments about third party and working within the Democratic party about 1:11.
"Where I am right now is where I am. But in years to come that will depend on what the Democratic Party becomes. Are they prepared to stand up to the big money interests? Are they prepared to welcome young people and bold ideas into the party? That remains to be seen."
Comments
Last night's speech
also dealt with how change happens. We still have a month till the convention. Despite calls for and hysteria about his dropping out - he's still fighting.
Thanks for the link WD!
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
A comment that he made about a month ago
has been overlooked. He said that the campaign has enough money to go to the convention and beyond. He might not get the nomination for the presidential election, but the revolution is far from over. I think the people who want him to drop out think that the revolution will also "drop out." Are they in for a surprise or what??

There is a cottage industry springing up
of concession/endorsement fabricators and capitulation anticipators. We should try not to be too mean to them, they probably really need the money.
Thank you, WD 13,
for posting this. It's always good to hear how he is crafting his message!
I am finding it interesting that
while the basics are always addressed, of late, he is now summoning the forces that will make the changes he has talked about during the primary season. He furrowed the ground and is now planting and watering the seeds.
