I'm sure Bernie understands this - that is why grassroots organizing is critical and not optional for our efforts.

It sucks - but not much 'every/wo/man' can do about it except counter it by chatting Bernie's positions, character, and honesty at the water cooler, backyard fence, grocery store line and local watering hole.
