Again, for Sanders supporters who avoid visits to GD-P

I take on the argument head on that Hillary keeps making that taking money from Wall Street won't compromise a good Democratic President because, look, President Obama dd it too! For the record I in no way trash Obama, just state what to me is obvious, backed by facts:

"OK, I'll Say It. Yes, Big Wall Street Donations Compromise President Obama"

an office. Doing Bernies way has always been the hardest way to finance a run for office. Both methods require the candidate to be beholding to the people who financed their run for office.

If Bernies method can be applied to state level offices, then this country can be turned around.

And they both have more than a whiff of idol worship. Can do no wrong, y'know.

I think everyone of us here agrees that if we where paid a few million a year from Big Banks we would all be like "Oh Big Banks saved my puppy from getting hit by a car" That is what HRC drones don't admit to them selves. We all are whores and realize that if we have that temptation we would take the money too. That why we want Sanders, not because he is like us but because he is better than we are deep down inside.
