Are you tired of all of the money in politics? Then DO something about it!

[lostnfound]

Vote for Bernie! Put an honest man in the most powerful position in America, and hear the truth start getting told.

It's no accident that we had substantive debate on trade and the Export Import bank last night. Bernie's presence in this race has brought out a lot of truth-telling in this primary season. His nomination and election to be president will bring out even more.

Trump won't be using that line "I DONATED to your campaign" on Bernie.

People SAY they are sick of money in politics. Now they want to pass up their chance to actually DO something about it? We have a great chance to change the protocol for getting elected. For getting the unvarnished truth about bank bailouts, trade policies, opportunistic drug pricing, and corporate "welfare". Restore the concept that government exists to serve the people.

That's why I'm voting for Bernie. Maybe others have tried to do the best they could within the confines of an inherently corrupt system, but it's time to give integrity and honesty a try.

1. The only truly sane choice for non-1%ers!

I realize Bernie can seem like a one-note Nellie...but smashing the power of the oligarchs to control the nation's direction really is more important than any other issue. Without actual democratic governance, no significant progress will be made on the host of other critical matters (climate change, crushing personal debt, BLM, the war on women...not ANY of them).

2. Bernie has a ZERO Percent Chance of Getting Money out of Politics

until Citizens United and its progeny is overturned by the SCOTUS. Just another flailing at windmills

3. Sure...but no way we get a SCOTUS that will do that with corporatists making the nominations.

An actual progressive's nominations would surely be blocked...but at least there would be an attempt. I wouldn't trust Hillary not to nominate justices who might lean to the left on issues the oligarchs don't care about, so she can trot that out and say "look: I'm a liberal!" But would her nominees actually rule against Citizens United?

When pigs fly.

6. Screw that

I know the Bernie meme is that we Democrats should just lay down and die and let the rethugs outraise us by a billion dollars every election, but that is insane.

We need to work under the system in place in order to get Dems elected. The system will never change if we let rethugs continue in the majority based on "principle." That's just fucking stupid, IMO.

7. Yes But Innocence and Naivete are So In Vogue This Year

especially among the kids

8. Yep

Political reality is not their strong suit by any means.
