In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders in one word [View all]Yurovsky
(2,064 posts)I believe that with Bernie, what you see is what you get. There aren't twenty pollsters and 100 focus groups developing his "message" and altering positions to suit the changing political landscape on the fly. He says he's for the people and not the corporations, and his campaign finances clearly support this stated position.
Some candidates like to say they're fighting for workers and the poor, all the while taking MILLIONS from the very corporate interests that are crushing the little guys/gals. Gee, I wonder if those interests expect anything in return for all that cash???
Anyone who is voting for another Democrat needs to do a little fact checking and see just who and what is funding their campaign. If you're ok with corporatists turning America into a slave labor camp while the monied few drink cognac and smoke cigars, why the hell do you call yourself a Democrat???
