As he did in 2016, Bernie is offering something unique to the political landscape: a transformative vision for a more just and equitable country, and a renewal of American democracy.
His movement is built upon four central tenets:
- The American political system is currently broken, unable to respond to the needs of the people and the planet.
- There needs to be a political realignment along lines of economic self-interest, uniting the working class.
- That realignment, combined with a powerful appeal to common-sense morality (anti-racist, anti-war, pro-environment, universal inclusion), will build a new progressive majority.
- Even so, there must also be a revival of citizen participation in politics, lest the movement be crushed by big-money interests.
