Democracy Now! (April 4): How Much Has Hillary Clinton's Campaign Taken from Fossil Fuel Companies?

[highprincipleswork]

17. It is sad that not only the Clinton campaign but those who support her choose to distort the facts..

in this, as well on many other fronts.

What good does it do, in the end, to distort or deny the truth? It will always tend to come out in the end.

It is clear through this program the difference. They have both taken money from small donors in the industry. But Hillary has also taken money through SuperPacs and top executives in the industry, most likely up to the maximum permissible donation, and from "bundlers" and lobbyists as well. How could this difference be more clear?

Please, quit going on the offensive/defensive over things where ultimately it is clear what is going wrong. You appeal only to the basic laziness and lack of information in the voting public, and we get a weaker candidate in reality than the one you are presenting.

Or just wear the badge of taking money proudly.

Bernie has changed the way campaigns are financed, and it is frankly a minor miracle. Why? Because it indicates that we don't have to sellout to interests like the fossil fuel industry to run a campaign.

BTW, notice that Hillary decided not to take this same kind of money from the private prison industry, so it's not like it couldn't be an adjustment that is done.
