If your job is to explain politics, and you find yourself unable to fathom why real-change candidates have surged, why extreme capitalism is being questioned, why twentieth-century certitudes need not apply, don’t minimize just because you don’t understand. Start understanding.

Has anyone without health insurance been a regular on TV or in opinion columns analyzing the contest? Is anyone paid by the hour being regularly asked whether they’re afraid of democratic socialism? The worst country to report from is the land of your own tired reflexes.

We all come face to face with social phenomena we don’t understand, that take us back. But if you’re a person charged with explaining politics to the public, let me share the rule I try to live by: When you see something you don’t grasp, don’t thwart. Rent a car and report.

I write mostly about non-voters They are the group most screwed over & frustrated with status-quo centrism. Few write about, listen to, or want to listen to them Yet they will be responsible for any big change, because they are drawn to outsiders like Sanders, Trump, Yang, etc

It’s time for fresh youth and fresh minds and ideas like Yang. This is what I tell my children. They’ll be change in the next couple of election cycles. It just takes time for people to educate themselves and rethink their belief systems.

That's because "asking why" was a cover for promoting his candidacy. They're still and always promoting him now, going back to the same four "supporters" and claiming they represent "half" the country. It wasn't sincere curiosity. It's corporate media bias.
