Bernie Sanders seems to be the best thing to happen to America for a while; at least that’s what some Democrats will tell you.
He might as well be a real life Disney princess as he managed to get a bird to fly onto his podium during one of his speeches.
Despite his popularity with many democrats and now, wildlife, Sanders is not being taken seriously by American news outlets.
Bernie won 3 out of 4 states in early March but no major news outlets really discussed him: http://usuncut.com/politics/media-continues-to-ignore-bernie-sanders/
Bernie is set to be a huge breath of fresh air for many Democrats. He has been fighting for equality for black people for years, he even walked with Martin Luther King Jr, he supports gay marriage, and wants raise minimum wage.
Hillary Clinton, his competition, took the phrase “if you can’t beat them, join them” a little too literally as she has started changing many of her problematic past statements to match what Bernie is saying now. Saturday Night Live called her out on it by releasing a clip where Hillary Clinton transforms into Bernie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs47ce4QRBY
The problem with Clinton’s inconsistencies is not the fact that she’s ready to hop onto any view that is the most popular at the moment, it’s the idea that we don’t know which of these views Clinton will uphold if she is elected President. Sanders has upheld these views in times when they were unpopular, and Clinton needs to learn to stick to what she believes in, even if not every one agrees with her.
