Bernie says what we all know from decades of watching our government help big business and fight unions and class actions etc., This truth is inconvenient for many and they prefer to support their own lack of knowledge rather than confront the problem. These people who infect the democratic party with their willingness to accept authority no matter how much that authority walks on them are called neoliberals and they are not really democrats or even supporters of democracy. They ignore the control of Hillary and other candidates of both major parties and there fore do not support democracy. They scream party loyalty above all to try to prevent any moves to restore democracy as a value of any party. I am a progressive and I will vote in the fashion which best will advance democracy. Democracy first, democrat party second. Go Bernie!
