I don't call you a "radical for fighting for the 99%". I call you a radical because you actually BELIEVE you're fighting for 99% of the people in this country. Here's a clue: whenever 99% of Americans want something done, it gets done. Your natural constituency, who you speak for, is about the 5%.
Yes, I understand rhetorical bravado. And really, I have less a problem with moving the nation in the direction of taking care of the least among us. However, your pretense that Democrats are somehow as awful as Republicans, would be insulting if it weren't so funny.
And yes, donations can help. But they're by no means determinative. And often, it's not that money makes a candidate popular, but rather that popular candidates get given money.
