Bernie Sanders and Rigged Elections: Sometimes You Just Lose

[passiveporcupine]

26. You are wrong

In a fair election, all candidates would get equal non-partisan air time (publicly paid) so people could learn who they are. Too many people are not on-line all the time seeing all the info out here. They are glued to their TV's. And yet you think it's OK that the media can cover one candidate over the others in the race?

Bernie started getting loud and excited crowds early on and he was completely ignored. And Hillary started with a huge lead in delegates, which were continuously given out by the news as her winning the race from the very beginning. Lots of people just go with the brand name, especially if they are winning. Superdelegates should never be used early in the race by the media to sway the public vote. Only at the convention.

Sorry, but your idea of a system that may not be fair but is just the way it is...that's not the kind of "way" I want. Too many people are not happy with the way this country is going and we are going to change it. You can kick and scream and say it's not fair that a revolution isn't respecting the establishment...boo hoo. We are starting now by helping down ticket progressives to win and we will keep doing that until we can change congress enough to actually see some possibilities for change. And we are going to find another leader like Bernie and we are coming back and we are going to get the money out of politics and are going to have people in congress who are responsible to the voter, not the lobbyist.

We are going to make this country great again (gag...why did Trump have to use that)...because we are going to bring back FDR democrats.

Like I said. We are fed up and we're not going to take it any more. We may lose the first battle, but we'll be in it for the long run.
