complete dismissal to this inane idea that Bernie is trampling your rights by fighting to overturn Citizens United.

This is an asinine assertion in support of a blatantly corrupt law.

What kind of Orwellian doublethink mindset leads someone to believe Bernie is taking the rights of people away from them in challenging Citizens United?

We can all see your attitude is the same as this guy...

I would say the same thing, but in reverse. My voting rights won't be sold to the highest corporate bidder. Money should never sway my representative towards the interests of those wealthier than I, and if it does it is in violation of my rights as a citizen of the human being variety.

You are not alone in this world NCTraveler, others get shat on by this kind of ideology having legs and going off and becoming a law. I find it utter repugnant that anyone who wasn't directly profiting from it could be in support of Citizens United, and those people are the true leeches on society.
