@be-ware,
I don't think white america is ready to elect a socialist president yet.
You are saying media is biased against Bernie, and asking people to look at the crowd, rally etc to see how he is the most electable candidate that can defeat Trump . That is what you see in a cadre-based party/movement, group of people who are convinced by a radical agenda. I remenber things back in Nepal. In many occasions all communist supporters, who many times would be the only voters, would be in rally, whereas NC would not have a big crowd despite a good turnout in ballot as they are mass-based party.
In couple places you wrote Trump and other candidates from Democractic party are going to work for billionaires, rich "class" people, and that Bernie is the only candidate who will work for common people (you probably meant a different or opposite class than rich "class"). I believe a lot of people know that very few uneducated white people are going to vote for him despite the fact they belong to such "class". You know why. The more radical his agenda is, the less chance of getting elected.
People are trying gather support for him by saying a moderate change is not going to fix things in health care, education, deficit, taxes, military spending, which is not true. I don't think you can get more vote by saying "Billionaires and rich people are scared as they end will up paying more taxes if Bernie get elected". It seems people think making voters of concious of their so called "class" is going to be helpful, I think that is not going to work.
BTW, people who do not pay a lot a tax may like the idea of making tax more progressive, but how much progressive you want to make it? To quote some recent numbers: The top 1% paid 37.3% of Federal Income Tax, the most important revenue source for federal government, whereas bottom 90%'s combined share was just 30.5%.
