years past just didn't take the plunge? Pressure from those that control the money?
I agree with this article 150% but in order for Bernie to win we the main street society (the 99%)would have to dig real deep to make that happen. You might contribute more than usual and I might contribute more but what about the average Democrat out there that are much less politically informed than what we are,would they?
Those are the voters that would have to anti up too and that would be the problem.
Otherwise the Wall Streeter gets to choose their candidate.Then we can listen to those campaign speeches that favor the liberals but after the election we wonder why key cabinet positions are filedl by those in line with guess who or what? Wall Street.
