Answer our survey to tell us how you think the media should handle presidential debates→
Are you ready for this week’s presidential primary debate, John?
Bernie’s vision of directly challenging big money in politics has already defined the 2020 election cycle, and now the issues that he’s always been fighting for — Medicare for All, College for All, Good Jobs for All, Environmental Justice, Justice for All, and more — are dominating the discourse.
However, we know that the corporate media (90% of all U.S. media is controlled by a small number of multinational corporations, some of whom do business in industries like health care) will do everything possible to distract from the fact that all of these ideas are popular with the majority of Americans.
That’s why we are asking for your advice on how the media could do a better job with presidential debates.
Answer here to let us know how you think the media should handle presidential debates→
When Bernie first stepped onto the national debate stage nearly four years ago during his 2016 campaign for president, ideas like getting big money out of politics, a $15 an hour minimum wage, healthcare for all and free college for all were considered fringe. Now, they are mainstream.
The momentum for Bernie’s vision is a direct threat to the big money interests that profit from the status quo. That’s why we can expect to see all sorts of misleading tactics to distract from the issues that are important to non-wealthy Americans.
How can the media do a better job focusing on the issues at presidential debates? Let us know here→
As Bernie always says: change happens from the bottom up. It always has, and it always will.
That’s why Our Revolution groups across the country are working hard to build a grassroots political movement powerful enough to take on the political establishment and every special interest that stands in the way of our policies passing the House and Senate.
We must elect a Democrat who will defeat Donald Trump next year, but no candidate is capable of challenging the rise of authoritarianism or the entrenched power of our political establishment without a united grassroots movement behind them.
Before this week’s debate, share your thoughts on how the media could better serve American voters by using the debates to focus on the issues.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
In Solidarity,
The whole team at Our Revolution
