But to answer your question, The main 2 that are the closest to being clean on our side are Warren and Sanders.
Warren shows that she isn't a corporate shill with her actual actions, by standing in the way of the banks and co. while they try to regain their previous unlimited freedom to speculate with the economy and peoples lives.
Sanders, well he definitely is not a corporate shill, I think we can all agree on that.
Now many people will say that those 2 I mentioned could never win a general election because they can't raise as much money as the candidates like HRC who are corporate shills.
To that I say, so what !
The reason we are in this predicament at the moment is because the 1%ers have too much power, and if we just keep backing the shills that sell themselves to the corporates, we will never break free from the control the 1% has over the country.
We need to put up left candidates, ones that are not affected by the money from corporations, and if we lose a bunch of elections in that process, then so be it.
Eventually we will come out the other end clean from dirty money, and be all the better for it.
Again some might say that we can't afford to let the Repukes get control of the WH because of the disasters they could inflict on the country, but IMO that's the price we need to pay for allowing ourselves to be in this predicament in the first place by giving the corporations the reins of our party.
IMO we need a cold turkey approach where we just dump corporate candidates and go through the pain of losing elections to work on ourselves until we are strong enough to never need a penny from the corporate idiots that care only about their wallets.
