When 3% Became a Revolution
A 74-year-old democratic socialist from Vermont with no super PACs, no billionaire backers, and just 3% name recognition decided to run for president. Political insiders laughed. Then something extraordinary happened: over 100,000 volunteers made 75 million calls, sent 8 million texts, organized 100,000+ events, and raised $231 million from small donors. Bernie Sanders would win 22 states and nearly half the delegates, proving that revolutionary change is possible when you stop thinking small. The campaign's senior advisors discovered something powerful: people won't knock on doors to make incremental tweaks to a broken system, but they'll work themselves to exhaustion to build a political revolution. This wasn't just a campaign-it was a laboratory that rewrote the rules of organizing. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would later cite these lessons as key to her historic congressional victory, proving that what worked for Bernie could work for anyone willing to think big.
