(181,268 posts)Obama blew everyone way in 2007 with is small dollar funding machine. That machine was inadequate for 2012 and so even President Obama used super pacs. Sanders will not use super pacs and so he needs to figure out how to get sufficient individual donors to be competitive.
I care about the SCOTUS and I will be supporting the candidate who I think is best qualified and who is viable. Sanders has not demostrated viability and you may be hurting Sanders' case with fun things like magical youtube videos and the claims that money does not matter in politics.
As for Hillary Clinton, the only practical way of getting rid of Citizens United is to win the White House and to have the POTUS nominate SCOTUS justices who will vote to overturn Citizens United. Clinton, Sanders and O'Malley are all making this pledge. There is no easy way to amend the US Constitution and the overturning of Citizens United is the best approach. To do this, we have to win and again, I do not believe that Sanders can win a general election fight
Sanders is doing poorly in most states that are not 90% white and if you want to see Sanders be the nominee, then show how he is viable
