Someone suggested this should be an OP, so here it is (re- how Bernie resonates):
The fact is, our conservaDems have failed miserably in communicating the kinds of ideas Sanders propounds, presumably at least in part because they are owned.
Sanders understands that if we don't fix campaign finance reform asap, we'll never get our government back. And he knows that kind of reform is not going to happen without challenging the 1% in ways they haven't been challenged in decades.
He can only do that by telling the truth, and trying to bring people with him as to why it's so important that we challenge t.p.t.b. So for the first time in a long time, he is telling is the truths that the 1% don't want us to hear; and he's doing it with the kind of passion, coherence, and eloquence that only happens when one is not trying to serve two masters, but has devoted and continues to devote all of their energies to serving the good of the people as a whole.
When Sanders is heard, I suspect there are people who never expected to agree with him, who find themselves realizing, this guy is focussing on the things that are really affecting me, and what he's saying about them makes a lot of sense . . . maybe he's right about some other things.
(I realize a lot of Repubs are totally brainwashed, but they're not voting for Clinton, either.)
