(14,154 posts)I "fell" for a statement that Dem strategy must change away from such a dependency on corporate money? Well Bernie proved you can fund a campaign with an average $35 donation. While Hillary, had amassed the largest funding by big corporate donors in Democratic history. I just googled to find back up of that and even I am shocked at the Vox article I found. Apparently she raised 40 x what Trump's campaign did! Wow, incredible. Yet it didn't help her. https://www.vox.com/2016/6/21/11987078/donald-clinton-campaign-fundraising-fec So yeah I "fell" for it.
I am not for destroying the Democratic brand either. That is why it is imperative that they listen to people like Sanders opinion, and not just play lip service, and that they must stop demonizing and blocking the more liberal wing of the party, because they are the future. That is divisive. Go Kamala Harris!
