The point gets drowned out by the scraping and sawing of the way-too-loud stringed instrument.

At least I could hear Bernie, many movies and TV shows have the music so loud I can't hear the voices of the people talking.

Don't people understand the meaning of "background" music anymore? It's not supposed to be the focus, just an enhancement and tone/mood setter.

On June 18, 2011 artists Ligorano/Reese presented a temporary monument in the garden of Jim Kempner Fine Art in NYC called "Morning In America." The installation was witnessed by hundreds and lasted a total of 8 hours throughout the hot day.

...A THOUSAND CUTS is a timelapse video of the event. The soundtrack was inspired by an excerpt from Senator Bernie Sanders 8 hour filibuster on the U.S. Senate floor against the extension of the Bush tax cuts and the effects on the middle class. It is orchestrated to music by composer/violinist Michael Galasso

Remaster this with some less-annoying music, a campaign logo, and the legal disclaimer and make it an ad ASAP.

The imagery is fantastic. Please get on this. It would be one of the most effective ads of any political campaign in recent memory.
