1. HRC does NOT represent me

or anyone I know. Anyone who votes for her, votes against their own self interest.

2. And votes for big money in politics.

4. Does anyone know how sick and stupid this is

that they approve and allow the oligarchy to win? 33K a plate? Just to see and hear Hillary? OMG, we're doomed.

6. Bernie and Hillary both attend these fundraisers

to help downstream dems. Bernie on Martha's Vineyard at $37K a plate: http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/07/11/sanders-courts-marthas-vineyard-donors/

The reason we need to elect Bernie is not because he has had to attend these dinners as well, but because we have a system in which such fund-raising is expected. He seems like the only candidate who would even try to change this system. However, getting money out of elections is a complicated issue. I even posted an article in one of the threads with an international comparison. The Scandinavian countries seem to be best about limiting campaign finance. Some countries do not allow TV ads. Others, like Brazil, are a free for all.
