are they for people or corporations?

HRC sided with corporations long ago. She is bought and paid for by the very forces that seek to crush working class and poor Americans EVERY DAY. Some of her supporters are voting based solely on gender, and having never had a woman POTUS, I get their loyalty. It's easier being a male to put my progressivism above all else.mbut in the end, she's still a corporatist and represents the status quo in which the 1% does great and everyone else gets fucked over.

Bernie is clearly for the people. And I have faith that our youth - who are getting screwed worse than anyone by the status quo - will continue to embrace his worldview. I try to be an optimist. My side may lose this battle, but we will eventually win the war for the soul of the Democratic Party.

The future of this country depends on it. Another generation or two of corporate control and this country is finished.
