The Clinton Campaign Is Screwed

159. What fabrication?

This is a link to Sanders voting record: https://votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/27110/bernie-sanders#.VqK1iyorLWI

Tell me what votes I fabricated.

Here is the link to FEC filings. Show me evidence for your assertion that Clinton's donations "come directly from Banks and Wall Street." http://www.fec.gov/fecviewer/CandidateCommitteeDetail.do Then you should report your findings to the FEC since that would be a violation of campaign finance law.

I'm included on that list. Did you know I'm one of her biggest donors? I gave her $261 dollars in 2015, which puts me in the top 88% percentile of donors.

Yes, I understand the upper 20 percent is engaged in a "class war" with the upper 1 percent (minus, I presume, the hundreds or thousands of 1 percenters who are Sanders supporters, many of them celebrated right here on DU). Such internecine conflicts don't involve me. That the upper 20 percent pretends they are in the same position as the poor when they in fact have more than 99.5 percent of the world's population is a function of their self-entitlement. It would be one thing if they offered a critique of capitalism that acknowledged their own privilege and how they benefit from the system of global exploitation, but they do not. You insist I owe them my allegiance despite the fact they have rallied against every organization, cause, and individual, that fights for my basic rights, rights they consider inconsequential compared to the career of one man. That itself tells me the rights of the majority are not their priority. The absurd exaltation of one man above causes and civil rights organizations shows a worldview that is at its very essence inegalitarian. The fact that you yourself treat people like me and many others with such contempt likewise shows that your sloganeering is hollow rhetoric that belies a deep-seeded, hierarchical notion of human worth that is the antithesis of equality.

The primary struggle very clearly breaks down along class, race, and gender lines, only it is Clinton who benefits from more support from the poor, working class, women and people of color, while Sanders supporters average higher incomes. https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/document/wtuckrpu76/econTabReport.pdf
To listen to you, only the upper middle class is fit to decide what is right for those of us, and we--having fewer rights and less wealth--are siding with the wealthy. Obviously it makes no sense, but then sloganeering is designed to obfuscate.

Recent events have made clear who does and does not stand up for PP. I don't have to guess. I have evidence. Not only have some Sanders supporters aligned with the right in efforts to defund PP and with it the only reproductive healthcare available to women through large swaths of the US, but their leaders has given his tactic approval by denouncing the organization as "establishment" for the transgression of refusing to elevate his career above all else.

Planned Parenthood, NARAL, John Lewis, Sybrina Fulton, the mothers of Tamir Rice and Eric Garner, Gwen Carr, the Brady Campaign, countless other gun control groups, much of the congressional black caucus, and 99% of unions that have publicly endorsed: They are all on the other side of your class war. Isn't it time you faced up to the fact that are you are not fighting with or for the subaltern?
