Hillary Clinton is the flawed, corrupt, weaker corporate...let's say...opportunist, of the two.

That's a fact. Why are Clinton supporters so quick to slam Sanders and his supporters? Attacks on him ring hollow and are just plain silly. He's doing practically nothing wrong in running his campaign, and certainly nothing wrong on his positions on issues. And on top of that, he's been consistently on the right side of the issues and the right side of history for decades.

Why all the unnecessary hate, all the hair-brained "attacks" by professional campaign pros?

It's really pointless, when in the end, you are attacking...well, the good guy!

Because Sanders is progress, he's representing everything this country can be and should be. They only seem radical in the cloud of oligarchic control of the politicians, media, and institutions. We can be a better people and society, and it's worth striving for.

Does this behavior from the Sanders crowd remind anyone else of the shit we see from Trump's posse?

... used taxpayer money to purchase more than 600K Facebook "likes" for the State Dept., and just got busted for Astroturfing in New Hampshire.

One candidate averages $27 per contribution. The other holds $353,400-a-plate fundraisers.

See the difference?
