I have a list of other reasons why he isn't getting any news coverage

the media and his party have judged him inadequate and moved on. he will never win a general election with a full on socialist platform - i'm not rejecting it just being realistic. but jeez, just imagine bernie winning, he'd have his inauguration in january and putin would be in Prague by february. without the 'crazy' factor of the american president, adversaries start thinking gibmedat.

Not it's actually because the ruling class doesn't want him to win because he fights for the people.
It has nothing to do with inadequacy when he's the best one running for the job.

I think you can say it about both sides. Just one side is better at lying about it by saying one thing and doing another. The other does it blatantly enough with such gusto and with such positive spin that their people think it's a good thing.
Welcome to the world of politics. No matter the vote, the voter is always the loser.
