You know politics is changing when...

...a 75 year old socialist brings a giant print out of a Tweet to the Senate floor. Bernie does have a point though, as usual:

I understand that LePen is going to go use the same Twitter strategy: lie and worry about it later, as it matters very little to those who will vote for her (and voted for Trump).

So, we're in a post-fact political arena, and that's the real change. The communication medium, I think, is not important, although it may be critical to the audience, because it's limited to 140 characters, and this is probably indicative of the audience' depth.

I think Sanders was so clever here. This has got massive publicity because the media want to write about a tweet on the Senate floor BUT by doing this The Bern has also given his issue so much more publicity.

The game is shite but you gotta play it sometimes.

@burnley I'm surprised you didn't delete nw's odd topic ranting gibberish. Be careful it won't be long until nw starts name calling when you quickly and inevitably outwit her him.
