18. you can't "prove" a negative.

and do your own research.

BTW, Hillary has 30 years or so of negative attacks on her mostly lies or twisted "facts"

Nobody cared to attack Bernie, because he was the only guy in his party, the I senator.

Bernie was in Congress for decades. Why didn't any of his ideas get adopted during those long years?

Because The Right won't allow it, and they cheat. Bernie is no weakling, and I love his agenda, but if he becomes President, it is still unlikely any of his agenda will be adopted by the Right. There will be as much opposition to him then as Obama or Hillary have gotten over the years.

The notion of a political revolution is a daydream. Vote for whoever you want, it won't make a damn bit of difference to the invisible unelected armies that actually rule us. That's the problem we have, not the problem of who to vote for.
