(10,499 posts)It's very sad to see people like Barney Frank and Howard Dean sell out. There are others I could name, but I don't feel like fighting today.
People are not stopping to think of the shear power of all of that money. I have watched BP warp everything their way after the Gulf oil spill. Most people think it was resolved with a non-existent 20 billion dollar fund. The Class Settlement paid only 1/3 of the victims anything, usually not even close to what they lost. 2/3rds got nothing but denied.
That's just one big corporation. They ALL THROW MONEY AROUND WASHINGTON! If you have their support you win, without it you lose. The candidates are pre-selected before we even vote so we vote for who they put up. Bernie is trying to change that dynamic. We need to remember who sided with who when this is over. We need our own slate of candidates for the next mid-term election! I did not choose to live under corporate rule!

Regardless of which candidate you support, the superdelegate system needs to end.

(20,453 posts)"I think" this and "I think" that the voters elected you to have more to say than THEY do, have I gotten that right, now?
Where the fuck do you think you've come from? Nobody but a giant egomaniacal blow job would admit as much.

(417 posts)In an email from DSCC (if I recall correctly) his name was on the
header asking me to donate to support Patrick Murphy (R in D clothing).
Same with Harry Reid. Alan Grayson & Bernie Sanders have upset the
Establishment's apple (money) cart.

(618 posts)The people of Minnesota elected you to REPRESENT THEM in the US Senate,
NOT to supplant their decision as to who the next President should be.
Exercise "Your Judgement" with you own vote at the ballot box, just like everyone else,
but a "delegate" is supposed to represent his constituents...
