Sanders supporters: 'They cut him off, or, try not to air him on TV ...'

Two young women, supporters of Bernie Sanders, show that the younger, who have access to alternative media, know Sanders and what he represents, while the older, who are informed mainly from the mainstream media, don't really know him. The mainstream media forced to start giving more time to Sanders, because his popularity was rising, despite his exclusion by them at the beginning of his campaign.

As they state among other things:

'People just don't know about Bernie. They don't have the access to him like we do.'

'And that's why I think they cut him off, or, try not to air him on TV, cause they know once he's heard, that's it.'

'Like our mom she is ... was for Hillary, and the hardest thing was convincing her and teaching her about Bernie, and that took a long time.'

'It didn't even come from us her change, it came from TV ...'

with my parents. They are both Clinton supporters by default, although my dad is a lot more familiar with Bernie than my mom but after seeing Bernie debate this past Sunday, they are starting to sound a bit different when talking about him.'

The media and establishment Democrats have a right to be afraid to let Bernie have air time - Hillary loses support every time it happens.

And we must not forget that FDR faced a fierce propaganda by the establishment, even when he got elected. That didn't stop him from implementing policies for the benefit of the people through the New Deal. Once in a while, the banking/corporate mafia fails to prevail. The more Bernie enjoys the wide support of the American people, the hardest would be for the elites to prevail again. The torch now passes to the American people. It's up to them to start beating the ruthless system imposed by the elites and become an example for all the world. As Bernie says, united there is nothing we can't accomplish.
