Anand Giridharadas has been killing it on MSNBC just now.

Explaining the Bernie phenomenon, and all of the absurd attacks on him, and all the denial in the media.

Did anyone catch that? I hope it gets clipped on youtube, I'll post it if it does.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

This was the most succinct explanations of what’s happening and why. I’ve listened to Anand Giridharadas before, but today’s offering was like no other. He nailed it.

Thank you so very much for posting this.
