6. Democracy does work.

The game is currently rigged against it. Sanders isn't doing anything against all odds, he is proving campaigns can generate enough funds off direct citizen contributions. That is awesome, but we knew the money was there. He is doing it the way it should be done. It's also one of the biggest reasons I wouldn't consider voting for him.
