The crucial role of Bernie Sanders for the battle against our dark future

It may sound exaggerating, but Bernie Sanders may be our best hope right now for a real turn towards a sustainable future for the benefit of the majority, rather for the ruling elite.

...

After decades of demonization of social policies, under the domination of the neoliberal doctrine in the West, the corporate media managed to implant in the minds of the societies, the perception that the state is, more or less, something evil. An entity which drives societies backwards instead of the free market which leads to progress and prosperity.

...

Nearly 80 years later, the same type of propaganda is being used by the much ruthless and powerful elite inside the dominant neoliberal doctrine, to demonize anyone who dares to speak about social policies in favor of the majority. But, remarkably, Bernie Sanders starts to change that. He speaks openly about Democratic Socialism, yet his popularity rises.

It appears that this old-type propaganda starts to fade, but there is also another, new factor which makes the difference: the independent, alternative information through the internet. Sanders appears to be quite popular among younger generations who have access to alternative information. His voice reach them without any kind of manipulation. The simple truth that Sanders speaks, is absolutely understandable and acceptable by the people and that's why the establishment can't do much right now to reduce his growing popularity.

It's so true, Americans, in general, hate the government.

Odd, because we like to believe...
"...Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth." - Abraham Lincoln

Time to change their minds and make government work for the people.

It can be done by the people by electing Bernie Sanders.

He's the only one trying to bring major change to a corrupt system.
