17. You, my friend, are a perfect example of what I was talking about in my post above

Thanks for reminding everyone of Bernie's message by repeating it. You are not only part of, but a shining example of the problem.

This is example the type of Bernie's bullshit that created a false equivalency between Hillary and Trump in the eyes of so many. So what if Hillary and Bill were paid good money for giving speeches. If someone offered me $250,000 for a single speech so they could better understand my view of the world, I would be asking when and where. And I strongly suspect you would be doing the same. We have seen excerpts of Hillary famous speech to Goldman Sachs that Bernie railed against and I saw nothing to get excited about.

Do you see Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump as equally corrupt? If so you are one of the Bernie supporters who bought into his message hook, line and sinker and you are one of the ones we should blame for Trump's victory.
