I love this ad

Yep. This is downright propaganda, and I love it
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/22/us/politics/bernie-sanders-and-simon-and-garfunkel-put-focus-on-voters.html?_r=0 In a race that will eventually become nothing but another shit smearing campaign, this ad, perhaps, is the high watermark of decency. Just average people and a song the right will undoubtedly hate for it's assumed communist themes. For a few nights, anyway, this is awesome. No shit talking, no denigration of others, just a bunch of people who are excited to see Bernie. Those of us who like Bernie will eventually have to choose to accept the cynicism and vote for Hillary, or choose someone else who has no choice of winning. That sad day WILL come and Hillary and her believers will look like Colonel Jessup claiming,

 "And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives WINS ELECTIONS! You don't want the truth, because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. on the top of that ballet. You need me on that wall on the top of the ballet."

It will be a bummer indeed, but for a short while I get to have a little optimism and follow a candidate that I believe genuinely gives a shit about the middle class. Tell it while you can Bernie, the Democratic machine is about to hit you with both barrels.

  1. I liked the ad. I grew up with and always loved the song. Nice job Bernie.

    His next ad should feature Bridge over troubled waters, plastering Hillary ' s emails all over the screen.

  2. Quite a contrast to the bulk of political ads. I loved it.
