I also think this John Wagner article gets to the heart of why Sanders has been as successful as he has been. I think the way the economic downturn and anemic recovery has affected younger people is something that's been under-reported and i think a lot of the Democratic party isn't getting it. Finally, if you support Bernie and want to get involved in the Bernie campaign, here is a link for that. Just put in your zipcode and see what events are happening in your area. Or create one and see if anyone signs up.

Our governments went along with their corporate buddies instead of doing what was best for the people they should be representing. And the general public is once again the chump.

& Science | Comments (1)| Link I've seen multiple articles with political commentators wondering if Larry David's impression of Bernie Sanders will help him win votes. This is so strange to me. It feels like a conversation between political analysts, discussing how this or that action will play with the voters. But presumably CNN and the Christian Science Monitor (which is a real mainstream news source, despite its weird name) have a few actual voters in their audiences. Or maybe that's not the case. Maybe everyone who reads the news already has fully formed opinions of the candidates, and we're all only interested in how people who don't read the news but do watch Saturday Night Live will react. We're all insiders now.

Good job, CIA. Way to prove your competence. Fox wants you to know he was only a "guest" and was never paid, so it's totally ok that they didn't do any sort of vetting before trotting him out as a former CIA operative.
