About this ebook

The New York Times bestseller!

When Bernie Sanders began his race for the presidency, it was considered by the political establishment and the media to be a “fringe” campaign, something not to be taken seriously. After all, he was just an Independent senator from a small state with little name recognition. His campaign had no money, no political organization, and it was taking on the entire Democratic Party establishment.

By the time Sanders’s campaign came to a close, however, it was clear that the pundits had gotten it wrong. Bernie had run one of the most consequential campaigns in the modern history of the country. He had received more than 13 million votes in primaries and caucuses throughout the country, won twenty-two states, and more than 1.4 million people had attended his public meetings. Most important, he showed that the American people were prepared to take on the greed and irresponsibility of corporate America and the 1 percent.

In Our Revolution, Sanders shares his personal experiences from the campaign trail, recounting the details of his historic primary fight and the people who made it possible. And for the millions looking to continue the political revolution, he outlines a progressive economic, environmental, racial, and social justice agenda that will create jobs, raise wages, protect the environment, and provide health care for all—and ultimately transform our country and our world for the better. For him, the political revolution has just started. The campaign may be over, but the struggle goes on.

Ratings and reviews

What a hypocrite! bernie, an admitted socialist has benefits very well from capitalism which he wants to destroy. he hides it as 'wealth redistribution' i.e. you work & big government will raise taxes & they'll decide how its spent. so if your neighbor doesnt make as much as you the government will 'redistribute=give your money to them. its insane whats sadder is so many dont even know what socialism is..the next step communisium. bernie's only job has been in government with salary paid by taxpayers. Wake up nothing is free

it's fine, for what it is. iI you're a Bernie fan, and a Socialist, you'll likely rave about how it's the greatest book ever. if you don't appreciate the historic atrocities that ALWAYS accompany Socialism (I do not) then you'll likely find this to be out of touch drivel from someone looking to destroy America. Like all Socialists, Bernie has no desire to live under, or by, the same standards he would set for others.

I was really looking forwarding to reading this book, but it's constantly crashing on my Pixel XL. I even tried clearing storage for Play Books with no change. Very frustrating!
