Sanders surrogates missing from media - seems like. [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by one_voice (a host of the General Discussion forum).

Sanders' voters represent almost half the country but now they are missing from the conversation? I guess the media and political elites don't want to hear anymore about economic justice, environmental justice social justice, or racial justice. It began in my mind with the extreme bullying of Jeff Weaver by Matthews and Frank a week or two ago. It was blistering. The AP capped it with their anointment of Clinton. It was a clearly manipulated effort.

Even Al Franken was rather uncle-like when asked how Bernie would be received now in Congress. Some reports have said he would be elevated and highly respected. Franken responded in an avuncular way by not saying anything at all except to humor his return. Franken was a favorite of mine but that's over.
