It's a little odd that you're using that word to describe supporters of Bernie Sanders, who is the strongest opponent of the corrupting influence of money in American politics in my lifetime. I've seen no indication anywhere that The Young Turks or MoveOn.org has received so much as a penny from the Sanders campaign.

If the corrupting influence of money in politics irks you, why on Earth are you a supporting the candidate who's pocketed millions of dollars in speaking fees to big banks and other corporations? Cha-ching, baby.

...will continue to do what they did before Bernie was a candidate. They will promote their views, provide political commentary, fundraise for various causes...

Amusing that you would single them out, though. It shows the priorities of rightwing corporatist so-called "Democrats" very clearly. They never met a true progressive they didn't want to trash.

It is also amusing how soon people forget... MoveOn was created specifically in support of Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky affair. But don't expect anything like loyalty from the Clintons nor from their supporters. Loyalty only goes one way, dontcha know... They expect you to be loyal to them; don't expect loyalty in return.

It's long past that, they've already been bought, the payments now are just maintenance fees.

The owners also know the Clinton, and those like them, are loyal only to themselves and without the maintenance fees they would be gone to the next highest bidders.

TYT is a go-to for progressive opinion and news.

Are you disputing the facts presented?
