A critical thinking response to "Hillary is a corporate shill" memes.
This is a diary from Dailykos.
Now let’s break this all down. This is for over 17 years running 2 US Senate races in one of the largest states with the most expensive media market, and 2 Presidential campaigns in which she’s raised hundreds of millions of dollars. Because corporations cannot directly donate to a candidate, this is looking primarily at what organizations a donor like me actually works for. When I donate to a candidate, I have to report who I work for and then that corporation appears to be the donor in these type of tallies, even though they aren’t. The GDP of New York is 48 times that of Vermont. So for any source of funds for any statewide race in NY vs. VT $48 donated in NY is equivalent to $1 donated in VT.
So who is the largest evil corporation that donated to her campaigns? Emily’s list-A feminist organization with the mission of electing women.
2nd is not Citigroup itself, but people who work for them. Let’s imagine incorrectly that Citigroup itself actually donated $850,000 over 17 years. That would mean the largest financial donor gave about $50,000 per year. Remember though, that isn’t true, it’s people that work for Citigroup and they are a huge employer and are based in the state she represented in the Senate. In the current race she’s raised $188 million, and Sanders has raised close to $100 million. The argument that she is owned by Citigroup, or Goldman Sachs, or any other is a joke. Let’s imagine Citigroup actually gave her or her PACs $850,000 this cycle. That would be a whopping 0.45%! But remember, the real percentage is a very small fraction of that because it’s from Citigroup employees to all her campaigns over 17 years.

And that video of Elizabeth Warren saying she changed her vote on a bankruptcy bill because of Wall Street? Dig deeper, (http://billmoyers.com/story/just-how-cozy-is-hillary-clinton-with-wall-street/) as there is a lot more to that story and Clinton voted the same as that far-right extremist Barbara Boxer.

... by simply stating the obvious: Anyone who doesn't worship Bernie is going under the bus.
At least the under-the-bus folks have great company: Howard Dean, Al Franken, Gabby Giffords, John Lewis, Sybrina Fulton, EVERY Democrat who has endorsed HRC, EVERY journalist/blogger who has said anything positive about HRC, etc.
Must be quite the party going on under that bus (or ON that bus of yours), what with all that great company to keep!
Under the bus is definitely looking like the place to be. Of course, in spite of pooped's gory imaginings, it would have been disabled long ago. We are not even a tenth as stupid as the righteous ones need us to be. 
Let the data decide.
QED!
