far-left loon? or mainstream? YOU decide - not them
ABC took down their poll when Kucinich won. And an independent poll showed that "58% of 150,000 voters chose Kucinich when choosing on the issues, not the candidates. Hillary and Obama resonated with around 3%. If Dennis resonates most with the mainstream, then why is he being dismissed as a far-left loon by the mainstream media?" The guy in the The Largest Minority video thinks it's because ABC aka Disney "loves" us.
I think it's because over the last quarter of a century, or more, the mainstream media has abetted the GOP in driving the so-called "center" so far to the right that someone like Kucinich is perceived as a far-left loon. Honestly - my brother thinks Hillary Clinton is a liberal. A liberal. It makes me laugh... or cry. (And "liberal" is of course a dirty word - it means "Commie". (Hillary is a Commie? Communists everywhere are speechless.))
I fear for my country sometimes, but it's good to know that if the ballot had a list of positions and no names, a man like Kucinich could win.
Unfortunately, it's the names people will see. And the media is assiduously marginalizing most of the Democrats, leaving us with the Big Three, anointed by ... well, by whom? Not the people, that's for sure.
Don't get your news just from ABC/Disney, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox. Read independent sources. Make up your own mind. And get involved.
