Bernie Sanders Blasts Media For Conflicts Of Interest http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/bernie-sanders-media-wont-talk-about-real-issues?akid=14104.150648.o5T-OR&rd=1&src=newsletter1053213&t=2 A New Poll Shows Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton Are Neck and Neck http://fortune.com/2016/03/24/clinton-sanders-poll-democrats/ It is unfortunate to me that this list has been ignoring the Sanders campaign lately almost as much as does the corporate media. Take a look at the message he’s getting out on the video above, and connect the dots if you will to the surge in his support as the campaign moves on, the consequent surge in small donations enabling the spread of his message in the msm, and the possibilities for further movement in the direction of a transition flowing from that. People increasingly recognize their own situation in his message as well as a sharpened perception of how the game is rigged against them; and this campaign is at this time virtually the only game in town in furtherance of that objective. Sanders has said that based on his record people should not underestimate him. On the evidence so far I’d say he has a point, and it might be well if we would like to be seen as a credible part of a left wing not to choke and sputter on his negatives and fashion spurious analogies to past times and conditions, drawing in important respects inappropriate lessons from recent history. He seems adroit in selecting his bullet points so that they form a pattern which a large sector of the electorate can relate to. That audience is large in most places where he appears, and the message must be an eye opener to many, as well as a demonstration to participants that the numbers in support of that message are large and growing. Note his emphasis on climate change in addition to other matters. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
