29. More manipulative corporate messaging.

Sure you're "thrilled."

Your pattern of posts with positive headlines about Bernie, but with messages trashing him inside, is noted.

Is there a goal of getting glowing messages about Bernie, with a low number of recs, on the board? Because it sure seems so.

The corporate messaging is so manipulative. There's never a straightforward set of posts laying out Hillary's record and making a case that she would be the best representative of the people. Instead, we get this oily game-playing....manipulative headlines that say the opposite of what the post says, or cynical, Orwellian praise for her not talking to the press or voters.

This is exactly why Bernie is rising in the polls, and Hillary is falling. People are so weary of being played and lied to and manipulated. We are so tired of the contempt to our faces.

Bernie is honest. That's such a breath of fresh air. He is reminding us of what voters are supposed to be able to expect from a representative political process....and by sheer contrast he is driving home the utter contempt with which we are treated by corporate politicians and their messaging machines.
