Sanders: "I don't support the agenda of corporate America... I DON'T WANT THEIR MONEY!"

[reformist2]

(Start at 2:20)

This, to me, is what this primary is all about. A choice between corporations and the people.

How on earth can Hillary compete with that? How can she even explain herself? Maybe she can try to thread the needle, to explain why there needs to be a "balance," but I think more and more voters are realizing you can either do the bidding of giant corporations, or you can support the people - that you can't have it both ways.

1. A principled politician.

A very rare bird in our government.

If citizens ever want things to change for WE THE PEOPLE , Bernie's the only logical choice.

They have to stop voting for people who are bought and paid for by Corporations (which is everyone else running) or their lives will only get worse.

2. I agree 100%.

Time to take back our democracy from the scum that has stolen it.

Only ONE candidate is honest about doing so.

Join the Revolution. Feel the Bern.

[reformist2]

3. One thing's for sure. If Bernie doesn't win the nomination, there are going to be a lot of glum Dems

out there. Most of us will vote for Hillary in the end, but a lot will probably just stay home.

[99Forever]

4. I never stay home.

But I WILL vote my conscience.

[bigwillq]

5. I will not stay home.

And I will not vote for Hillary.
There will be other choices.
I live in CT--the DEM nominee will win my state---so I am free to cast my ballot for someone else if Hillary is the nominee. It's a win-win.

8. I will not stay home but one sure thing - I will be out

of money for donations the day Bernie is out of the race.

And I will sign on to Bernie's newsletter as he continues in his Senate seat. I will then be part of the movement he is creating to fight for the people of our nation. The Revolution will continue.

11. The youth energized by Bernie ...

... think they will have that energy with someone like Hillary? There are plenty never having been involved in the political process or a campaign that are enthusiastically feeling the Bern. Think they would transfer their enthusiasm, time and money for her?

This I know, I don't have to volunteer or donate money to a candidate so entrenched in the corporate way of doing things. She will merely be the lesser of two corporate evils that will appoint a member or two on the SCOTUS. It is a defeatist position, not that she cares how she obtains votes.

13. The enthusiasm for Sen Sanders is for honesty and freedom. If he loses the nomination

that enthusiasm is lost. Some will vote for Clinton and some will vote Democratic by writing in a Democrats name.

18. If Bernie doesn't win the nomination we will see historical lows in voter turn out

Most people see zero difference between Corporate Candidate D and Corporate Candidate R

6. Hillary will be competing against the GOP

And she will have the money to do so.

[reformist2]

9. She'll have money alright - money that came from the same places as her GOP opponent's money!

[Thespian2]

7. Bernie is America's only hope...

elect him President...or we can collectively kiss our asses goodbye...

10. It amazes me how many people on this forum consider integrity a weakness.

[MisterP]

12. she just coflates nurses with megacorps

[Uncle Joe]

14. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, reformist.

[Catherina]

15. K&R. It's Bernie or Bust based on their records n/t

[restorefreedom]

16. this is exactly why

this has become a people v establishment election. people are sick of our politicians being bought and paid for.

[Metric System]

17. Sanders is the GOP's best hope of regaining the White House. The general election will be a blood

bath as Sanders will have his hands tied behind his back. He's bringing a spoon to a gun fight.

[smiley]

19. What's your reasoning for this opinion?

Are you equating the spoon to the amount of money he has to campaign with, or to his policy positions?

Just curious. Thanks!

[Metric System]

20. The lack of money.

[smiley]

21. Fair enough...

but I think he's proving that you can build support w/o money. If all it comes down to is money, then as a nation, we are truly screwed no matter who gets elected.
