How many people knew of all the work Bernie sanders has done over the years to TRY to fight the crooked system he had to face as an elected official BEFORE he became a candidate?
Few people were allowed to hear about those, like Bernie, who struggled to get their colleagues to join them in doing something to halt the greed and corruption. But he never stopped trying, many people would have given up long ago.
However now that he IS a candidate, and this may be one of the reasons WHY he chose to run, far more attention is being given to his proposals.
THIS is an idea that was put forward years ago by Progressives, to no avail of course as they were ignored.
So it's important to get ALL of Bernie's great ideas out for the PUBLIC to decide whether or not they are worthwhile.
Doesn't matter if he made the proposal three months ago. NOW people are paying attention.
