Ks,hold onto your hats, fol because we are in a world when right now, one that is way bigger than any of us. We have a job to do it we have a role to play that will not be played by anybody but us. We are the ones we have been waiting for when they tell us to , you know, get out of the way, because were standing in the way of the lesser evil, the answer to that is that this politics of fear, which we have been told to about out to, has only delivered everything we were afraid of. We were toldsons to vote for the lesser evil because we do not want the off shoring of our jobs, the meltdown of the climate, the massive bailouts for wall street , the expanding prison states, the attack on our Civil Liberties and on immigrant rights, all those things we did not want is exactly what we got by allowing ourselves to be silenced and letting a lesser evil speak for us. [cheers and applause] remember, when they try to tell you you are powerless, remember what alice walker said, the biggest way people give up power is by not knowing we have it to start with. We have it. We are going to use it in this election. Lessersaying no to the evil and yes to the greater good. Decidingere not only what kind of a world we will have, in this election, we are deciding whether we will have a world or not Going Forward into the future. A day of reckoning is coming closer and closer. On climate change, were told that there will be a civilizationending Development Level form of massive sea rise. As soon as 2050 anybody planned to be here in 2050 . I think a few of us do, myself included. So we cannot wait, because we have to act now if we want to stop that Sea Level Rise from happening in 2050 here and we need to declare a state of emergency right now and undertake a wartime scale mobilization to create those 20 million jobs and create that 100 clean energy now. We have a crisis in Nuclear Weapons, and again, thanks very much to the democrats. Bill clinton removed us from the antiballistic Missile Committee framework, from disarmament, and then barack obama, who created a 1 trillion budget for us to spend on a new generation of Nuclear Weapons and delivery. On the count of climate, on the count of Nuclear Weapons and this Insane Nuclear arms race that we are once again headlong plunging into and on account of these endless and expanding wars that are blowing back at us all around the world, we cannot afford to sit this one out. The lesser evil is a losing strategy, because people stop coming out to vote for lesser evil politicians throwing them under the bus. So the republicans will win anyhow. To look at donald trump donald trump does not stand alone. Donald trump is about the rise of rightwing extremism, not only in this country but in europe, and as Bernie Sanders theelf so often says, solution to the likes of donald trump is a truly radical, Progressive Agenda that restores our needs and ends the economic misery that promotes the kinds of demagogues we are seeing an donald trump. We are the ones we have been waiting for. Hillary clinton is a problem. She is not the solution to donald trump. We are the solution. We are the ones we have been waiting for. This is our moment. Together, we do have the power to create an america and a world that works for all of us here at the power to create that world is not just in our hopes. It is not just in our dreams. Right here and now, it is in our hands. We will make this happen together. We are unstoppable. Thank you so much. On we go. Thank you.
