In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Lobs A Crippling Blow At The Kochs With Bill To Publicly Fund Elections [View all]99th_Monkey

I'm supporting Sanders for many many reasons, but I'll just offer a few:
* He's not beholding to BIG money, not at all. <-- unlike Hillary
* In at least one poll, Bernie's running against GOP rivals as strong or stronger
than Hillary, and this thing is just getting started,
* Bernie's stepped out of the box of politics as usual, and is asking for a political revolution
that is unprecedented and so far, he's delivering on his promise and voters love him for it,
and not just Democrats either. <-- Hill decidedly is NOT doing this.
*I feel like, who am I to NOT support Bernie in his historic run for POTUS? It's exactly
what this nation so sorely needs, and this may be our last chance to turn around the
Oligarchy in its tracks and take back democracy in America.
If/when Bernie wins the Primary, will Hillary support him in the GE, with all of her million$
of funds she's received to beat the GOP? Will you vote for Sanders in GE and donate every
penny you can? <- if everyone who gives a damn about our nation does this, Bernie will
win without Koch money, hands down.
