I think corporations also do a lot of "in-house" indoctrinations. I've worked for several multi-billion $ giants that put out internal communications that hint at the right way to vote. Remember the scare tactics used before that "We'll have to cut our workforce if the ACA passes"?

Bernie's method of getting us little people to support him and to be active in the process is fantastic. If we can truly turn the tide on how elections are bought, I think it will stay turned for a long time.
