In reply to the discussion: Heads Up: Beware of any "Democrat" still supporting a corporate candidate [View all]cui bono
(19,926 posts)What are you winning when you get a candidate who is a hawk, who is beholden to corporations, who changes positions on issues on a whim if that's what it takes to get elected, who is pushing fracking around the world, who will undoubtedly support the TPP which will be the end of our sovereign democracy, who is getting a ton of money from corporations so I'm certain will not try to do anything about Citizens United, who lied about the information she said made her vote for the IWR, who won't tell us what she said in her speeches to Goldman-Sachs and others... too many flaws there. If one believes in what Bernie is saying it is next to impossible to think one would decide to support Hillary over him.
And let's face it, if the media were covering issues instead of polls and if they gave Bernie fair coverage and didn't ignore him until they had to at least talk about him, he would be most likely winning this primary. And if the primary process was a fair election without all this sudden voter disenfranchisement and not stacked with paid lobbyists as superdelegates. The establishment is working overtime to ensure that doesn't happen.
