In reply to the discussion: South Carolina Democrats: Better if Sanders 'got lost' (don't shoot the messanger, AP story) [View all]Gothmog
(146,175 posts)The point is that sanders has no major legislative accomplishments to his credit which is why many in the real world ignore him or did not take him seriously. The media does not believe in magic and the media never took sanders seriously. sanders should be be glad that the media did not vet him because sanders would not stand up to serious vetting. If the media ever deems sanders to be a serious candidate, then sanders will be vetted and that would not be pretty.
I am amused that you believe in magic and think that anyone should listen to sanders. How will sanders magical voter revolution work? How many new magical voters are needed for this magical revolution to be considered a success? Does it take millions or billions or trillions of new voters magically appearing for sanders to pass any meaningful legislation in the real world?
As for evil media, you do realize that the NYT, the Washington Post and other media concerns are engaged in what is called circulation war where these media concerns are fighting to cover trump as aggressively as possible. Some great reporting has come out lately including the NYT story on trump's tax fraud. What more do you think that the media should be doing other than paying attention to a senator who has never passed any meaningful legislation and is not likely to pass any meaningful legislation unless magic becomes operative in the real world? I am following the coverage of the Washington Post reporter who was killed and I am not sure what more you think that the media should be doing?
