In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders is nothing but a heckler [View all]InAbLuEsTaTe
(25,489 posts)of corporations in my post. Why would you suggest I said something I clearly did not say???
Here's what I actually said, referring to Bernie, that he "did PHENOMENALLY well BTW... especially for a guy who started out 6% in the polls and, on a shoe-string budget, garnered millions of votes, WHILE TAKING NO CORPORATE MONEY."
So, clearly, I NEVER said I hate corporations... some serve useful purposes, that goes without saying, though there's plenty of criticism for the "Walmarts of the world" that is completely valid. You can defend corporate predatory business practices and their treatment of workers like shit all you want... see how easy it is to put words in you mouth Demsrule?... of course, you're not saying that... but you get my point.
Now, I do STRONGLY disagree, however, with your suggestion that Bernie should have taken corporate bribe money. Abso-fucking-lutely not!!
Bernie, once again, leads on this issue, explaining why he's the Democrats' #1 presidential hopeful for 2020 and why so many OTHER Democratic hopefuls are following Bernie's lead on this and other progressive issues.
I give Corey Boker, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand, and many other wise Democrats credit for joining Bernie in declaring they too are not for sale and swearing off corporate cash... good for them!!!
