If the MSM is going to ignore Sanders, then

[Are_grits_groceries]

he needs to establish a huge social media presence.
Set up LIVESTREAMS of events and advertise them on Twitter and other venues.
Highlight positions younger voters will be interested in.
There is more than one way to skin a cat.

Getting a portion of young people out to vote can be huge.

1. .

I'm just going to keep that saved... He said so himself on CNN.

2. Looks like he is getting lots of coverage, at least on my TV.

3. I agree wholeheartedly! Yesterday, his campaign launch started a bit late, so the coverage on

The Ed Show was cut short during his speech. I didn't know where to pick it up from that point. Was he live-streaming it? Twitter, Facebook, Instagram...that's how he'll reach the younger crowd. Bombard their social media and his message will resonate. But don't rely on the MSM to reach them, the kids aren't watching.

4. It was streamed

and it started late because there was some minor non hard news in other parts of the country. I suspect that conversation was had because Ed started with those non news items.



He is getting coverage... not as much as some here would like. But it cannot be Sanders 24\7

And at least from me, he is getting as much as Carly Fiorina will get when she officially launches. Or any of the rest of the clowns running for President on both sides.

7. Flesh out your ideas and post in Populist Reform group!

Those who know about upstreaming might be able to suggest format, scheduling, entertainment aspects and the like. This could expand into a wider base which those advocating populist reform can use.

8. So, do you have a TV or Internet connection? Because I am seeing him all over the place. nt

9. No, I live in a cave

and am using DU through telepathy.
I have seen some complaints about the coverage he was getting. Maybe they weren't here but I have seen some.
The social media use is still Germaine.

10. LOL, touche ma'am. I am as crotchety about unfair coverage as anyone, but at this point

I have no complaints. There are only two declared candidates for the Democratic nomination and one of them has limited her media access, though I am beginning to see more of her.

And, yes I very much agree, social media is indeed germane and absolutely a necessary component of Bernie's campaign. Or, any campaign for that matter. The candidate who uses it more effectively could win as a result. Bernie has already begun his social media campaign, as can be seen here: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/36j690/i_am_senator_bernie_sanders_democratic_candidate/
