Bernie Sanders, Not Elizabeth Warren

Sanders is a smart politician and savvy campaigner.  If the establishment media, rock-ribbed conservatives that they are, if those folks decided to give as much credibility to Sanders' campaign as they have to that of Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz and Rand Paul and Hillary Clinton, well, Sanders might very well be the next US President.  He'd have a shot, at least, since his very normal, popular, centrist positions match up almost perfectly with the American electorate.  Instead, we'll get a shit ton of snark and outright lies from the media until Sanders and his campaign are overrun by a bullshit avalanche.  That's the nature of our politics, so it won't be a surprise, but it will be a loss for Americans and our society regardless.  For now, Sanders is the boring, sensible, appealing centrist, and not Elizabeth Warren, who will purportedly nudge the very conservative Hillary Clinton leftward toward the center-right.  I guess that's something, but a functional society would demand that a mainstream, middle-of-the-roader like Sanders be in it to win.  Sanders himself is in it to win, but the entire political establishment will ensure that's he's nothing more than a sideshow because he's not sufficiently conservative.  Keep in mind that the people are center-left or left on every issue, but it is the establishment which is so far to the right.
