To be clear, Sanders spend most of his time running against things.
Let's see what he's running against:
Against child poverty
Against deminishing the middle class
Against keeping people in jobs with non-livable wages
Against college debt for all
Against real affordable healthcare
Against corporate insurance raking in billions at expense of people's health
Against people's life savings disappearing in the wake of Wall Street greed
Against endless war
Yeah - it's easy to see how this is a campaign not of hope or change!

How is he promoting distrust in government? By calling for Citizens United to be over turned?

Logically, it's true. To be for something, you have to be against the opposite of it.

Yes, yes. Let's all trust Wall St. to behave. Hill will tell them to "Cut it out!"
