It bothers me that I read a news article this morning that said Sanders lacks name recognition among prospective voters.
How serious is the voter who doesn't know who Sanders is? Does this explain the crappy politicians we send to Washington? Voters don't know anything?
I'm not talking about software engineers either, I'm talking about skilled blue collar trades. Machinists, welders, etc.When I say our manufacturing has been abandoned I'm not talking about software engineers, a business that employs relatively few compared to the millions of jobs exported along with our smokestack industry.

Sanders "lacks name recognition" because the mass media are refusing to cover his campaign. They have good reason to want him to go away: he is not working for them. They desperately want Hillary to win.
Bernie Sanders is blatantly anti-monopolist and will work to end corporate subsidies of political campaigns. He is extremely outspoken about the political influence wielded by the top 1% of the 1% -- the Kochs and ALEC in particular -- and the corporations and banks. One of his most oft-repeated quotes is, "Banks that are too big to fail are too big to exist. Break 'em up!"
He's against the Trans-Pacific Partnership, that secret trade deal that would allow corporations to sue nations that don't put their profits first. He's against the Citizens United decision, which says that corporations are people and their money is "free speech", giving them the RIGHT to buy our politicians. (If your state has not yet ratified the constitutional amendment to overturn that decision, find out why and do what you can to help it along.)
In spite of the media blackout, Bernie Sanders is already so popular that his rallies are drawing record-breaking crowds only four months into his campaign. In the last five days alone his national popularity rose by 3%, while Hillary's fell 5%. There's still a big gap to close, but it's narrowing fast.
Here are the latest poll results from RealClearPolitics:
So no, you won't hear about Bernie Sanders on television -- nothing good, anyway -- but if you look on Facebook you'll find very active groups that support him, and plenty of links to his books, rallies, and videos of his speeches.
For a quick rundown of where he stands on the issues, check out FeelTheBern.org
If you have time to do more research, the members of the Facebook group West Coast Bernie Sanders Supporters have posted many links, quotes, and videos.
The best way to learn about Bernie, in my opinion, is to listen to him. Look for videos of his speeches on YouTube. You'll find that he is remarkably consistent over time, with his speeches this year echoing the positions he held back in the 1970s when he first got started in politics.
Here's his recent speech at the Iowa State Fair:
That's as good a place to start as any.

Today there are 4,000,000 fewer jobs for Americans aged 25 to 54 than in December 2007.

And of course there are 4,000,000 fewer Americans in that age group.
I like Bernie's comments about limiting the influence of big money in politics,

The Fed has refused to raise interest rates, in part, because the labor force participation rate among the working age population is so low thank to Barry's libcommie policies.

Um, okay, dude. Still, when someone wails that here are 4,000,000 fewer jobs for an age group whose population has shrunk by roughly the same number, that reeks of hysteria.

he didn't wail, he merely pointed it out and Fed agrees that labor force participation rate is low and thus they have kept interest rates at 0% for years to prop up a failing liberal economy.

Labor force participation rate measures participation in the formal economy. It does not measure participation in the informal economy, for instance many self-employed individuals.
and????GDP rose 3.7% in the second quarter.
I dearly love the phrase "seasonally adjusted." WTF is that supposed to mean? And, that U3 and U6 BS never explains how people who used to draw a paycheck and now aren't working are not considered "unemployed."
