In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Calls Clinton Foundation Money A "Very Serious Problem". [View all]LovingA2andMI
(7,006 posts)46. Erich, it's okay...
As Bernie Supporters can read, and likewise understand that Hillarynites will engage in a PUMA 2016 Revisited Strategy to ensure their "Big Money" Candidate of choice "wins" at all costs --- even if it comes to the point of trying (and failing) to tear down Progressive Stallworth - Bernie Sanders.
The end result of this strategy will be a Republican in the White House on January 1, 2017.
The Most Ineffective Strategy To Elect Hillary.....Attack Bernie Sanders and his Supporters
There are many Progressives who are either Democrats or Left-lending Independents that are too proud Senator Bernie Sanders is giving it a go to run for President.
He has every right considering Senator Sanders has stood with the Middle and Lower Classes in regards to sound economic policy nearly every time.
Many Progressives admire Bernie who does not take corporate, lobbyist or Wall Street "Quid Per Quo" money to turn around and support a job killing trade policy called the TPP.
Senator Sanders Caucasus with Democrats, however, is not afraid or timid to call out Democrats when their potential votes, policy or politico speak are with the 10% instead of 90% of folks who are not ultra-rich, have tax havens off-shore or who owe a "political favor" to those making big dollars (by cheating the rest of us) on Wall Street.
Yet, SOME not all but SOME Hillary Clinton supporters -- feel threaten by Senator Sanders running for President. So much so, they are calling him Ralph Nader or worse a spoiler candidate.
And others are going as far to nearly label Progressives of both Democratic and Independent Left Lending ties -- Junior Teabaggers for supporting a Senator Sanders Presidential Candidacy.
Here are the raw facts: Keep this Modus Operandi up -- i.e. Attacking Bernie Sanders as Ralph Nader II -- and watch your candidate of choice LOSE come the first Tuesday in November of 2016.

Are you seriously lumping the Clintons with the Kochs? On a Democratic site?

Then that should be the OP title. Not make it look like he means to specifically go after HRC.

He's not wrong about this: "It is about a political system today that is dominated by big money."
