(15,435 posts)We DO know the answer, MONEY! I guess the BIGGER question is 'how can Bernie win' when this has happened? It IS possible that he can pull upsets in the big states, but what good will it do for him?? Will any of these states or people spill the beans or actually blow the whistle about this? Is there any solution?
Most of his who support Bernie and have this information can clearly see that so MANY Hillary supporters simply WON'T see anything wrong with this. BECAUSE they will say it's actually legal! Citizen's United is LEGAL, but that doesn't make it RIGHT!
I've known so much about the Clintons for so long, and I find it hard that many of her supporters don't know this stuff too, so all I can ask is "Where's The Integrity?"
If you KNOW you're getting screwed and you go along with it doesn't that make you just as bad? Or at the very least a supporter who will go along with anything just to say your candidate won? This is insane! And it's the reason this country will probably sink even lower than it is now!
Too many other countries already have so little respect for us, but for some reason even "people involved" pledge undying loyalty with no thoughts about the damage this will bring!
The only ALTERNATIVE that seems possible is to actually go to the Convention and PROTEST there. That's NOT A GOOD THING, but maybe it's what will happen. I myself would love to stand up and fight back should this happen, but I have some serious back problems so moving around isn't an option. I was pretty young when the 1968 Convention blew up, but I've read a lot about it since.
DEMOCRACY isn't what we're seeing now! And if we want to FIGHT FOR IT I wish there was a better way. Is there a better way? I would LOVE to know.
