What do my fellow Sanders supporters say to this?

42. Corporations were not the allies mentioned in that post.

The allies proposed were the far left and the religious right who would establish maybe two or three states,or maybe only one, whose citizens would be under something resembling a theocracy. This would be done in order to field a candidate agreeable to both parties to defeat corporations at the expense of a few women, people of color, and gays who are supposed to submit quietly. Granted vouchers would be offered to people who wanted to leave said benighted state. But, somehow, I think that might turn out to be a problem especially for people of color.

I will grant you that this is a ridiculous little scenario he dreamed up in his spare time. It wouldn't affect him since he's a white straight male so he thinks it's a stellar idea. I'm a little disappointed that even one person here agreed that it had even a few workable parts and didn't mind the bigotry reflected in it.

I know corporations don't have a vote per se, but what they do have is a designation as "People"with the right to free speech which was given to them in Citizens United. And they can pour tons of money into the political process. Which they have done. In my opinion, that's trumped a lot of votes. The fact that they control the media hasn't helped, either.

I don't object to members of the religious right finally abandoning the dark side; not at all. I will welcome them into the light. What I object to is the suggestion that we abandon our principles in order to gain their support. They can vote,of course, for whomever they please. That is their right as citizens of the United States. If they vote for Bernie Sanders so much the better. At the rally here, I met a young guy who was voting mainly for the legalization of weed. A truly one issue voter, but hey, that's his right.

We fought a war sometime back to keep this country together Granted, my ancestors were fighting on the wrong side, for the wrong reasons. But I hope I've moved beyond them. I've tried. I don't think there's any reason good enough to justify splitting it apart again.

I would be interested in your issues with that post, if you would like to say what they are.
