But even they must acknowledge, however indirectly or superficially, Bernie's phenomenal success, even if they downplay it as only a fad. The truth is that there's nothing superficial about this voter mania for Bernie - he's the most real candidate out there. He's the only one who's really addressing the issues, and working hard to put what he says into law as he's on the campaign trail. Although I resent the superficiality of this coverage, as well as its propensity to draw superficial parallels between Bernie and other past political campaigns, no parallels really exist; Bernie is totally unique.
I see in Bernie Sanders the potential to be a Gandhi-like figure in a political revolution against corporate neo-colonialism in America. His campaign is kind of like a political Satyagraha, or Holding to Truth, movement. And to be like Gandhi, he must really be humble, frugal and unassuming in his public behavior, to identify completely with the oppressed masses; and, being the living example of everything he advocates for, he must speak truth to power. And his refusal to indulge in vicious attack ads, but stick scrupulously to the issues, is political non-violent resistance at its finest.
