(41,131 posts)Although, am I missing the humor of the T shirt...never seen an "official" shirt that doesn't say Join the Political Revolution.

(4,775 posts)since the "not for sale" part is about how Bernie is not endebted to corporate donors, and so is free to represent the people who will vote for him, as opposed to the people who finance political ads to propagandize people into voting for other candidates.
So though I suppose there's an easy chuckle to laughing at a not for sale shirt costing $25, there is nothing ironic about it, Bernie's allegiances are not for sale, and the more small donors that get behind him, including by buying official merch, the more likely it is we can elect a candidate who isn't owned by big monied interests. Which, im my mind, is the great challenge that the left must rise to, defeating the candidates who serve big money instead of serving ordinary citizens.
