Hundreds of students and Charlottesville community members gathered outside the Miller Center Monday for a taping of American Forum with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
Sanders, currently running for the Democratic nomination for the 2016 presidential election, addressed questions from American Forum Host Doug Blackmon on his policy views. He spoke many times on his hope for a political revolution.
No president or presidential candidate can address the problems facing America today without significant changes in peoples attitude toward the political process, and changes in the political process itself, Sanders said.
When I talk about my agenda
what I say is we need tens of millions of people to be involved in the political process in a way that has not happened before, Sanders said.
