(10,494 posts)at the end of the day she has to do what's she promised her donors she would do. Just like almost all of the D.C. Politicians, she takes their money! Things were off the rails even before Citizen's United and we are ALWAYS going to lose when it comes to economic issues and white collar crime. They paid for those non-indictments after the Crash. That's why they pay relatively small fines for the different frauds/scams they get caught at from time to time, cost of doing business.
Do we want yet another President to do their bidding? Bernie won't sell is out! He wants OUR help because he knows that is the only hope to be able to defeat all of that money! Sooner or later we have to make our move to try to gain some control back and reign those Plutocrats, banks and other corporations in. The alternative is we bend over and take it until they take it all.
You would be surprised by how much their money can do, but if enough of us decide the time is right, the time is now, we CAN DO THIS!!! We know that politicians like Bernie Sanders don't come along very often. This is his one shot to run and we need this pretty bad at this point. This is why I support Bernie Sanders!
