If we can't support Kamala Harris or democrats like

[BlancheSplanchnik]

62. Bernie developed a huge following. There are a number of reasons why.

I obviously don't know all the pieces of the puzzle but a couple things strike me as pretty obvious:

First--He spoke courageously for "Ordinary People", and the role of social inequality/economics in our downward slide. People are desperate for a strong leader who says "I am with you". Which he did.

Hilary did too but her message wasn't able to get out because of the damn media. She also knew how to interact with corp interests as well as clearly supporting and writing policy that cared for Ordinary People's needs.

However, her comfort in the corporate world made her persona non grata for too many Lefties who didn't look at her stated policies and goals to help Us.

Second--The media basically ignored him, in the beginning and then the story was his amazing rise.

IOW, he wasn't struggling against constant slagging by the damn media, and old false narratives attached for the past 30 years and NEVER refuted publicly, broadly, and consistently enough, as Hilary faced.

When the media finally did take notice of Bernie, he already had a huge following....the story was how amazing it was that he "suddenly burst upon the scene out of nowhere".
