Hillary's anti-progressiveness can be also identified in her mainstream rhetoric. She uses phrases like "I'm not making promises that I cannot keep", which means that she doesn't want to commit on what Bernie basically supports: fix this deeply unequal system for the benefit of the majority.

Such phrases belong to the category of cliches that the system uses to demonize anyone who dares to speak about a real change. Mainstream journalists are using them ('that's not how it works', 'you can't do this', etc.), to present anyone who speaks about pro-people policies, more or less, as a "naive" person who dreams of things that are impossible. When the truth is that the change in the American reality right now, is only about bringing back the most fundamental rights of the American people. Rights which are given in most countries, like free healthcare and education, as Bernie says. The same tactics were used in Greece by the mainstream media during the crisis, to make people compromise with the destruction of the social state.
