Tárgy: Re: [unSYSTEM] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour campaign, obliterates other candidates
If Sanders was only able to animate the white middle class I would agree,
but he is pulling people from both sides of the 'political spectrum' who
are fed up with the corporatocracy. His base is highly galvanized,
something which can't be bought; he had over 100,000 people attend his
rallies over the summer which is an order of magnitude greater the HRC.

As far as the US public is concerned Bernie Sanders is coming from left
field, but as he becomes a household name the numbers will charge
drastically. He marched with MLK back when it was politically taboo, you
can't buy that authenticity no matter how much money HRC can raise. He is
getting endorsements from black political figures such as Cornel West and
is working with the 'black lives matters' movement. Once people see that
he has been historically on the side of civil rights, instead of judging
him as an old white guy, the minority vote will swing.

The media has been ignoring him and downplaying his campaign since day 1,
fortunately social media has changed the game and the pundits still don't
understand the momentum behind Bernie, but I can see it. Its an avalanche.
