which is why they will do everything in their power to ignore Bernie. Time for some grassroots traffic problems on the MSM bridge.

I'm not sure how the MSM can still collect $s from advertisers. Most of the watchers are either dead/dying old white men (Fochs, CableNewsNot) or people so set in their ways that they've found the medium with the message and are not going to change.

Perhaps the media are spinning the eyeball counts to the advertisers? Golly G, I sure can't imagine that.

Reddit, Twitter, and even Facebook (gotta go look for my password now) can help us bring awareness to people about a guy like Sanders. Hell even going outside and making small talk with people can be an effective way to get them to hear about Bernie.

They were affiliated with the AFL-CIO, but were outgunned by the corporate lobbyists.
And the attacks on unions continue to this day, witness Wisconsin and other states that are passing right-to-work laws.

According to the Supreme Court there is no reason in the world standing in the way of a normal family having as much politic say as the Koch family. None at all. Nope. Nothing they could think of. At least no reason five of them could think of. See, it's a free speech issue. And the Walter family has just as much right as the Koch family or the Adelson family to launch a national advertising campaign to support your political views.

Especially for t-shirts. It will speak to a lot of people. I think putting Sanders' hair on yoda would be the bomb.

they can convert in cops back at home who'll keep the prisons stuffed (more profit with prisons and prisoner jobs) and black men silenced.

I'd vote for Sanders over Clinton in a hot, lubricated N.Y.C. second.

They will pedal garbage all day long for the GOP. Expect it from now on that Bernie is in the race.
