I will say that getting very little air time, sans the past several weeks, and having coded and slanted news articles and questions help contribute to suppress Sander's messages from getting out. As someone who voted for Bill Clinton, he had little name recognition at the start, at least up in the Northeast. Just as Sanders lacks recognition in the Southern states. Bill Clinton still remains the Big Dog, but there seems to be a conflation between his persona and HRC's to some degree. NAFTA destroyed a lot of low-middle income jobs in this country, benefiting the wealthy. While Clinton was in for two terms, we had two of Bush, and almost two of Obama, the black community has slid backwards on the economic scale. If passive forces are the future, what's going to change the institutional racism in congress, without some of them being thrown out of office?
Disruption is only unsupported to those who are unfamiliar with political history. History shows, major disruptions were the driving force for most large-scale social changes in this country. Passive changes might take another century. I know my thoughts are not wanted, so I won't bother replying anymore here.
