(CNSNews.com) - "Tonight I tell you with absolute confidence, we're going to win the Democratic nomination, and we are going to defeat the most dangerous president in the history of this country," Sen. Bernie Sanders told his cheering supporters Tuesday night in Essex Junction, Vermont.

"You cannot beat Trump with the same old, same old kind of politics," he said, referring to his leading opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden.

"We are going to defeat Trump because we are putting together an unprecedented, grassroots, multi-generational, multi-racial movement.

"It is a movement which speaks to the working families of this country who are sick and tired of working longer hours for low wages and seeing all new income and wealth going to the top one percent."

Sanders said he is taking on both the ("greedy") corporate establishment as well as the political establishment:

"But we're going to win, because the people understand it is our campaign, it is our movement. You cannot beat Trump with the same old, same old kind of politics.

"What we need is a new politics that brings working class people into our movement; which brings young people into our political movement; and which in November will create the highest voter turnout in American political history."

Sanders promised a "contrast in ideas" with Biden as the primary season rolls on.

He said he will contrast his position with Biden's on war, specifically the Iraq war; on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid; on trade agreements; and on a bankruptcy bill. Sanders also noted that Biden has received contributions from billionaires and is therefore beholden to them.

"So here we are," Sanders said. "We have two major goals in front of us."

He said the first goal is to beat Trump. And the second is to create an inclusive movement of people who will "not tolerate the grotesque level of income inequality we are experiencing."
