    The primary was genuine. The DNC candidate support was not.

    Had they provided Bernie with the same media coverage and platform of support as Hillary, the passively informed wouldn’t have seen him as “the socialist who wants you to pay for other people’s kids to go to college.”

      It would be nice if MSNBC didn’t go on about Bernie literally executing them using the old Communist tropes too… Between corporate media and the DNC real candidates that aren’t just neolib assholes will never get a fair shake.

        Absolutely. Not to mention Cambridge Analytica’s manipulation of Facebook users through psychographic profiling having a huge influence on the boomers.
