4. Just a hunch. The Kochs think tanks try to suppress the vote.

Its a fact that the lower the turnout, the worse it is for Democrats.

7. True... but i can't imagine the Kochtopus having their tentacles out in this manner...

It'd be cutting off their nose to spite their face.

They'd be shinning additional spot lights on their already spot-lit, and non-spot lit corruptive practices... would be counter productive for them.

It seems to be run by anti-citizen's united types

Though it would be a clever way to fly well under the radar

"people before party."
I stand with Bernie Sanders who happens to be our only chance to create the country we need and want.
He definitely is not the "lesser of two evils."
Under his public service we will see great strides in the issues that we want changed.
We all know his priorities, they are those of he vast majority of Americans.
Like F.D.R. proved, one person (as POTUS) CAN AND WILL usher in a new era. Bernie is that person.

9. Bernie would be an amazing choice for president.

And a bazillion times better than HRC. In fact, this campaign would be decidedly anti-HRC specifically due to all the corporations she's already making all kinds of promises to... and she's not even the nominee.

14. I really like Bernie, but I think he is too smart to be elected by Americans and his age does...

concern me. It certainly does not at all disqualify him, but there are long-term concerns to consider (like you better pick a running mate that is ready to take your place and not undo what you accomplished - so the complete opposite of what McCain did in 2008). If elected president, and it is a very long shot, he would take the title from Reagan for being the oldest man elected to the office.
