6. Thank you for your comments. And I agree about the pristine part.

How to do that is "The Question" ... for sure.

I was trying to get at that by using Bernie's platform, as publicly stated on his website;
as a kind of "Heres' my platform .. what you see is what you get. no special side-deals"
In other words, if a rich person simply supports Bernie's platform in solidarity with We
the People i.e. the 99%, then what's so bad about that.

THIS ^ is very different from taking money from private prison lobbyists, or fossil fuel
industries, or Wall St. ... at least it seems that way to me. Not that Hillary people wouldn't
try to smear Bernie with this, just like they have on everything else, so I honestly don't
know the answer, but thanks again for weighing in.
