We've come to accept the monied corruption, the flat-out lies, and the constant propaganda assaults of corporate government as business as usual. Bernie is a blast of fresh air making us aware by sheer contrast how sick and predatory the standard, manipulative MO of our corporate politicians really is.

Bernie Sanders reminds us of what our representatives are supposed to be. He is an honest politicians who does not take bribes and does not campaign on one agenda and then govern from another. That is why the PTB and their propaganda brigades are so threatened by him. He reminds Americans what we have a right to expect from our representatives....but never get to see from our corporate politicians except in their lying corporate advertisements.
