there, Susan Sarandon refused to play along with their psychological manipulation games.
Hillary or Trump? Screw that!
The only reason they bring up the Clinton or Trump frame question is to marginalize Bernie, Hillary hasn't even won the primaries but the corporate media conglomerates are trying to create a coronation.
Bill Clinton encouraged Trump to run, and the corporate media conglomerates have carried his water for well over a year before he even announced.
Bernie can and will kick Trump's ass and so long as you focus on that, we will be victorious.

Most of them are assholes.

Those hosts or pundits know all too well who cuts their paychecks.

(11,945 posts)We have to flow like water around and over the obstacles.
We can win that way. We're doing amazingly well.

(58,417 posts)corporate media conglomerate propaganda and brainwashing.
Without it, the mountain Bernie must traverse would be much steeper, he would've run out of money months ago and the blackout for most of last year would've ended his campaign.

(27,787 posts)... it's no wonder the media asks Bernie supporters questions about Hillary too.
You guys talk about Hillary way more than you talk about Bernie.
senz
(11,945 posts)and almost never talk about Hillary. They just rag on us, call us Bernie Bros, call us racist, call us sexist -- total lies, lie on lies -- and have been doing it nonstop for months.
So don't even try to give me that nonsense.

(11,945 posts)I hope this isn't the end times because I'm not ready for it.
Or maybe we're already in hell and don't know it.
We're walking around asking "what's happening here?" looking for something real while these lost souls move past us with blank stares uttering empty bullshit.
Or that's how it seems this morning. I want to grab them by their collars, shake them and scream "WAKE UP!"
I'm at a loss at present. Hope it's temporary.

She didn't want to just come out and take the oath because some people think you lose leverage when you do that.

The corporate media conglomerates want to create a self-fulfilling prophecy with the Democratic Electorate.

(55,745 posts)Two Billion Dollars. Bernie's had to do it with word-of-mouth, the Internet and the GOOGLE. Other than that, he's got to put up with the 24/7 smear campaign from his friends on the wealthy right wing of the Party.
For my point of view this is all it has been since the start
senz
(11,945 posts)First, it is WAY too soon in the process to force our choices. Neither has won their respective nomination and each is unacceptable to huge numbers of thinking Americans. It's an ugly choice. It's a bad choice.
Second, there may very well be a third option that we haven't looked at yet.

(11,945 posts)and cannot begin express my disappointment in Chris Hayes's transformation from bright, aware, young truth teller to stolid upholder of the status quo. He's too smart not to see what Hillary is.
