(5,122 posts)The media barely even attacks him. Ignore and pray he goes away is their strategy. The only strategy so far.
But, the people. 'More people talking about Bernie than anyone else... except for the nutcases. They're just entertainment.

(19,460 posts)I don't hear Bernie being talked about in the national media, in my local media, in my county, by my neighbors. It is almost as though Bernie just isn't there. On the other hand, I don't do Reddit or Face Book.

Get out of your house and drive around. Meet people.
Look at bumper stickers, yard signs & t-shirts.
Bernie is on fire. No doubt about it.

(23,248 posts)Liberalism put food on a lot of tables. It put electricity and running water and sewers in a lot of houses. It put men on the moon. It fought a world war against fascism and colonialism. It gave millions their right to vote. It gave them equality in society. It gave them dignity, hope, and a measure of security. It has given millions medical care and freedom from sickness. It eradicated smallpox and stopped war, and protected the environment we all must live in. And conservatives call it bad because it didn't enrich them.
