Bernie is a great speaker. He’s very direct and speaks plainly. It’s effective.

I love Bernie, but he isn’t effective… hopefully this time he will be, but I don’t see anything he says being shared online

He’s one person, you can’t change the system without the people being on your side. After the Watergate scandal, and subsequent Regan Nixon resignation and evisceration in the media, fox News showed up.

Between Fox News and all the other misinformation floating around today, the landscape is much different than when people like Martin Luther King Jr. were involved in the civil rights movement.

Basically, it’s easy to lie and sling mud, but much harder to fight with facts when the internet can spread lies at a blistering speed around the world through social media.

Regan resignation

Oh man, that’s the timeline I want to live in!

(It was Nixon… but I get the confusion, both were evil fucks)

We are watching one man change the system without the people. So, I disagree. Bernie just needs to say aloud what we are all thinking.

Bernie needs 2008 Obama level attention or this isn’t going to mean anything.

And yes, that’s why I am here too. But, our numbers are too small.

He won over a crowd of Fox “News” fans.

A pig with lipstick could win over that crowd.
