    In the US, Bernie was right there. The average voter just don’t want to change their life. The average person is mentally weak and scientifically illiterate.

      Bernie was actively pushed against by the DNC in favor of Hillary. This is just another example of politicians fucking us over.

      A little from column A, a little from column B. Looking at the media coverage over Bernie vs the other candidates, he had the deck stacked against him. Which doesn’t mean that someone like him couldn’t eventually win. It takes longer for the message to get through. in this environment.

      I think the more dire the situation gets, the more people will start to get involved themselves, and then they’ll spend more time listening.
