One reason for centrists democrats to want Sanders to win.
For a long time now money has dominated presidential elections. A large chunk of that even for democrats came from corporations and the rich. It is thought that their money was needed and while democrats aren't as beholden to corporations as republicans are the influence of corporations and the rich can be seen in multiple instances of democratic policies. Sanders winning can break that hold big money has on our party and actually let us get to the business of governing instead of governing for business. That would be very cool indeed and a tremendous shift in politics. Something I would like to see in my lifetime.
Please, do not use this to bash the democratic party or any nominees.
Thanks.
