TYT: MoveOn.Org Endorses Bernie Sanders



Another huge endorsement for Bernie Sanders. MoveOn.org is a massive grassroots organization sure to benefit any candidate they back in a Democratic primary. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"MoveOn is endorsing Bernie Sanders for president after the liberal challenger to Hillary Clinton won 78 percent of votes cast by its membership.

Ilya Sheyman, MoveOn Political Action's executive director, lauded Sanders for his run-away win and promised to help turn out voters in the early states of Iowa and New Hampshire, where the group has 43,000 members and 30,000 members respectively.

“This is a massive vote in favor of Bernie Sanders, showing that grassroots progressives across the country are excited and inspired by his message and track record of standing up to big money and corporate interests to reclaim our democracy for the American people,” Sheyman said.”*

They had a very democratic way of determining who they should throw their support behind. Maybe if you'd voted, you wouldn't have been moved to unsubscribe.
