Excerpt:
“People are going to have to rethink their commitment to democracy," Sanders said, slouching over the pulpit toward the end of his hour-long address.

He argued that the majority of Americans agree with progressive economic policies — despite Republican gains in the election — and that they would win if they stood up against bigotry. He told supporters he "will not tolerate" anyone giving up.

“You do not have the right to do that," Sanders said. "If you want to lock yourself in some room and close the door, fine. But it’s not just you. It is your children, it is your grandchildren, it is the future of this planet, so you don’t have the right.”

The senator had greeted supporters in Montpelier and Manchester earlier Tuesday, giving Vermont towns three of the 18 stops in a national book tour that began earlier this month to promote "Our Revolution: A Future To Believe In."
