(10,536 posts)the Democrat who you don't agree with just because she has a better chance than the one you do. Bernie said his number one issue is to get the money out of politics. This issue has not really come up before in terms of how he plans to do it, or at least not in a long time. Publicly Funded Elections (PFE's) are the key to taking control of our government away from the Plutocrats. I seriously doubt Bernie would win the primary too, but the better he does, the more it moves Hillary left and gives PFE's some exposure that may make the idea something more and more people can get behind. Bernie is the ONLY ONE talking about this issue and we have waited a long time to have a national (sort of) figure bring this up.
I advocate supporting Bernie through the primaries since their is nothing to lose. Trust me, Hillary will get so much support from Wall Street and the Plutocrats that she won't miss ours. The better he does, the better we will be.
