Which candidate is best qualified to unite grass-roots progressive movements for revolution?

Obviously we need some popular revolution because billionaire fuckwads are running everything.

We have a big environmental movement, which includes climate justice and anti-fracking.

We have #blackLivesMatter, and a vibrant, broad movement for police and criminal justice reform.

We have a workers movement, fighting for a $15 wage, and for union organizing at places like McDonalds and Walmart.

What else have we got?

Which candidate is most qualified to work with and help unify the people's movements to help create a more democratic society?

Especially if you believe the only way real change will ever happen is with such a mass political revolution.

.. which I do believe. Go Bernie!
