Sanders tells supporters social movements needed to make change

Bernie Sanders.

US Democratic Party presidential candidate Bernie Sanders told a crowd of supporters in North Dakota on May 13 that it would be wrong to view him as a saviour who could solve the country's problems alone, TeleSUR English said.

The self-styled democratic socialist said the US needed a movement of millions of people instead.

Sanders, who has called for a “political revolution” against the rule of the US elites, said: “If there is any person here, any person here that thinks I'm coming to you as some kind of saviour, that I'm going to do it all — all myself, you're wrong. No president, not Bernie Sanders or anybody else can do it alone.

“We need a political movement with millions of people … The only way that real change takes place is when millions of people stand up and fight back. That's what this campaign is about.”
