Great summation of why Bernie at medium.com —

Sanders’ main message is different from Clinton’s. He is not going around the country saying, “Vote for me, I’m the most qualified.” Everywhere he goes, he is asking people to “stand together,” “speak up,” “march together,” “work together,” etc. He is asking for us, the voters, the people, to change how we engage in our democracy.
He knows that the strategy of the oligarchy is the following: create and maintain low information voters, voter apathy, and low voter turnout. So, it would be revolutionary to have informed voters who vote for every election and stay engaged by lobbying, protesting, speaking up, organizing, and holding their representatives accountable.

American people must take ownership of our government and future and the era of low information voters, voter apathy, and low voter turnout must end. The idea of a new birth of democracy must go viral and fundamentally transform the electorate. Let’s spell out in more detail what we need to do for American Revolution of 2016:
