Hillary's Corporate Democrats Taking Down Bernie Sanders-----Trying to imo

Before announcing for President in the Democratic Primaries, Bernie Sanders told the people he would not run as an Independent and be like Nader -- invoking the politically-bigoted words "being a spoiler." Well, the spoiled corporate Democrats in Congress and their consultants are mounting a "stop Bernie campaign." They believe he'll "spoil" their election prospects.

Sorry Bernie, because anybody who challenges the positions of the corporatist, militaristic, Wall Street-funded Democrats, led by Hillary Clinton, in the House and Senate -- is by their twisted definition, a "spoiler." It doesn't matter how many of Bernie's positions are representative of what a majority of the American people want for their country.

they are only in it for themselves. They're worried about their jobs and we can just go to hell. We don't count. We The People and have to get smart about those we elect.

for POTUS for the last 30 + years.

The founders are Investment Bankers and the 1%.

It's been a gravy train and there is no way they're giving it up......you know, until the people take it and shove it up their caboose.

The makeup of the DNC needs to change or this will continue.

We need to be just as active during Bernie's Presidency as we are now.

I'm curious how many in congress will actually fall in line and how many stonewall.
