Focus groups, messaging, avatars and icons, millions spent on those things that are the opposite of substance and leadership.
Using fear to motivate, including fear that you don't look good enough, you need a better car, Sanders wants to take your money and give it to hippies.
That kind of shit is really popular these days, but I think it's wearing off in the face of a human alternative.
Senator Bernie Sanders.

(30,481 posts)Trying to fool the electorate by saying he is winning or by falsely claiming Clinton is leading some form of vote tampering charge. I get that these arguments are to try to bring more LIV's into the fold but they won't even buy the lies being sold. It is borderline psychological warfare and is a clear attempt to get republicans elected.

They wouldn't deploy this much democracy-screwing stuff if they didn't feel they had to.
