Bernie Sanders On Secret Health Care Bill: "I'm Speechless"

[JCanete]

41. what do you mean who are you or I to decide? This is a democracy. We are supposed to be part of

that decision. Don't tell me money doesn't skew things in favor of fewer voices over more voices. You know that isn't the case. The point is money talks. It talks on the Democratic side too and our politicians have only so much power to buck that influence, especially if we aren't demanding that they do so. It doesn't actually make it easier for them if we shut up and wait for them to make the changes. If we don't demand them they will be ignored, just as so many fucking things have been ignored by both parties for the last 30 years. Democrats have only recently picked back up on some of these threads as there has been a demand to have them addressed by the public, from occupy WallStreet to Black Lives Matter. There's a reason for that. There was not loud enough clamor for this change, and that meant politicians pushing for it were putting their necks more on the line.
