that taking money from corporations is not a winning strategy. We keep learning that. We're just getting crushed down-ticket, and by the money, even though we take it too. Whether our candidates are more or less conservative is less of an issue than whether or not they compromise their message by taking that corporate money, though I'm not a whole lot more keen to support a candidate who doesn't challenge those interests so that he doesn't bring wrath upon him. I want to see that our politicians are not holding back in their efforts to work for the people because it isn't politically expedient. I want us to change what is politically expedient.
Sanders' didn't make the Titanic claim about the whole party, he said there are some democrats in it who are content with this.
