I sing the body electric,
The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them,
They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them,
And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul.
"Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!" chanted the crowd.
Then Bernie appeared.
"In case you didn't notice," he began, "there's a big turnout."
He proceeded to give one of the most electrifying speeches we had ever heard. He called for change. Real change.
"Don't tell me that the United States cannot raise its minimum wage"
"Don't tell me that the richest country in the history of the entire world cannot offer Medicare to all its citizens"
"Don't' tell me that the richest country in the history of the world cannot expand social security"
He had come not to praise the American political machine, but to transform it.
