candidates were backed by Corporate powers, we had no choice. And when Corporations are betting on a Candidate they have no problem being promoted, by the Corp Media.

Bernie of course is a unique candidate who despite all the effort to HIDE him from the people since he is the antidote to Corporate power over our government, he has found brilliant ways of getting past their blockades erected between him and the people.

Sure it's hard when, unlike Obama and Hillary Wall St isn't rooting for you, Obama eg, got backing from Bush's backers, but it's not impossible as we are seeing for the FIRST TIME

I eg, supported Obama over Hillary based on some important differences on the issues, but I did not donate to his campaign because I knew he had enough money from Corporate entities to help him stay in the campaign.

I do donate to Bernie because I know he has no Corporate backers.
