The corporate-powered parties are not gonna do it for us, not the greater or the lesser evil. We have to do it for ourselves. And the minute we stand up and stand together, we are unstoppable.

To my mind, to say that says to young people and you probably are not going to get out of debt, and you probably do not have a climate that's going to be here come 2050. And, in my view, the point is not necessarily to win now but it's to begin building our power.
