I like The Root too but compare the number of comments/views on a Sanders article compared to an average one and then ask yourself what this specific article achieved that the one about this exact issue last week didn’t.

The left still hasn’t found an effective way to sell globalism to the masses, but will continue to try.

This is an excellent example of how Sanders understood the emotional tenor of the electorate last year better than Hillary.

It’s almost as though more than half the voting population is independent and primary numbers are irrelevant in the general. How did HRC do in the South?

The thing about Trump is that he said literally everything and people would just pick and choose their favorite parts and discard the rest. Back during the first time they tried to pass healthcare (so like a month ago, time’s been pretty funny lately) my mind was blown by how many interviews they had with Trump…

Not politically but sentimentally he’s simply the other, less nationalist side of the populism coin.

Globalists vs. Nationalists then. Where globalism is the current establishment consensus of both the left and the right and the nationalist, protectionist DJT, Bernie Sanders, Farrage, Le Pen are the anti-establishment wave.

You can if the all of the media your voters consume has framed it that way. Besides, the Tea Party for the most part hasn’t strengthened the GOP. If it weren’t for them Boehner may still be speaker, the GOP wouldn’t have (supposedly) hurt themselves during the Obama years with repeated threats of government…

Halle Berry has Type I diabetes, which is genetic. Type II is the obesity diabetes.

What is the Tea Party?

We’ve been choosing the lesser evil economically since ‘92 and it has gotten us to the wealth inequality that we have today. People are fed up

It seems fairly unrealistic to expect those with the most power to take a back seat

They know Sanders articles get clicks

Or perhaps it was the wave of anti-establishment sentiment that’s been sweeping the West these past few years.

If they both have equally bad views on one issue (I’m not sure they do, none of these articles ever mention Mello’s Republican opponent or where they stand on abortion) it would make sense to vote based on how closely they align with your values on other issues.

it’s that there was a political zeitgeist, an overarching climate, that both Bernie Sanders and Grand Cheeto tapped into, and Hillary Clinton was not the candidate to run in that climate.

Holy shit that’s way too long. No one’s reading past the first paragraph. And don’t put your email in the ad, it makes you look like a spambot. 

HRC lost by only thousands of votes in three key swing states with significantly lower turnout than Obama. This election was 100% winnable by someone who was marginally more able to turnout the vote than she was.

JFK and Obama were elected though. And Republicans had 30+ years to damage HRC’s reputation. They could have spent $10 billion dollars slandering Bernie and they wouldn’t have been able to make up that time advantage.

I would have preferred she had “won” less votes where it didn’t matter and a few more in the states that could’ve made her president.
