The stealth protocol Phase 2

Phase 1 consists of priming as many people as possible to think about the real concerns we face, and that Bernie is addressing in his campaign, but without yet associating Bernie with these ideas.

This describes Phase 1:

Phase 2 consists of pairing Bernie's solutions with attention-grabbing graphics, and still without associating Bernie with the text.

Example: Spreading around a Grumpy Cat pic with the caption "If banks are too big to fail, they are too big to exist." Let the problems & implicit solutions soak in.

Then, when they become aware that Bernie has been saying exactly the same thing all along, they don't automatically discount him because of the "Socialist" label. His common-sense message resonates with what they already think.

They no doubt have some very good marketing pro's, but we can approach them with our ideas.

The visuals is crucial. We have time to spread this information even without the tv. Fliers and posters all over the country. It's going to take some very bright artists. I know some, but they don't take requests, unfortunately.
