In reply to the discussion: A not-that-political friend's take on Bernie Sanders [View all]dreamnightwind
(4,775 posts)Those $2 billion Hillary will raise buy a lot of friends and support. For some of us this is a past-time, for others it is part or even all of where they get their income.
It's always an uphill struggle for underfunded liberals to defeat monied interests. It's the defining challenge for us to work on. The rot in our own party is directly attributable to where their money comes from.
Time to clean house and be the people's party, then we will own congress like we used to. Republicans are extremely unpopular, it's just that their Democratic opponents have almost all sold out to the same or a slightly different cross-section of big money interests, citizens be damned.
The OP is excellent. Cowards is a harsh word but not entirely the wrong one. I see no legitimate excuse for an educated Dempcratic voter to not support Bernie and the policies he so genuinely will fight for.
