Citigroup and the rest of the big banks. http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/05/politics/sanders-democratic-fundraisers/
Your side is currently benefiting from millions in dark money and super pac spending. That you claim that any political choice other than promoting your chosen member of the political elite amounts to siding with the banks and the rich is preposterous.
Your side grants immunity for gun corporations, billions in profit generated by killing people in communities like mine. Your side grants up to a trillion in corporate welfare for Lockheed-Martin, while pretending that corporate accountability extends only to Wall Street, all while having raised hundreds of thousands from those same banks.
Nearly every union, prominent person of color, civil rights activist and social justice advocate has endorsed Clinton. Sanders is in turn supported by Hollywood and a good section of the white middle and upper middle class, but far less so by the poor and people of color, who support Clinton. Your side in turn has harassed and insulted anyone who dares to think for themselves, who dares to care about their own lives. Let's not pretend you are concerned about the poor. Your actions speak volumes. You treat poor people like Texas Towelie and others barely getting by as the enemy. That shows in no uncertain terms you are waging war against them. They are your enemy because they refuse to prioritize your accumulation of wealth above their own survival. You are the one, after all, who insisted to me that foodstamps was enough for the poor, the same foodstamps supported by ever DLCer.
The last thirty years has not in fact seen an increase in poverty. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2013/jan/23/bernie-s/bernie-sanders-says-poverty-us-all-time-high/ Poverty is now lower than during the days you long to return to. The one group that fares worse are white men. That is the war you are engaged in, the war to ensure the white male bourgeoisie regains what it sees as its rightful position atop the capitalist world order, a world order built around the death and economic exploitation of the vast majority around the world and in the US for the comfort of people like you.
For you, political discussion is limited to bumper sticker slogans, slogans that do not hold up to any scrutiny. You display no interest in getting beyond the word of memes and soundbites. Because of that you turn to insults. Yet you don't wage your war on bankers and the 1 percent, do you? In fact, you count some of them as your allies (like a recently banned 1 percenter and others who boast of their four digit checks to Bernie or wardrobe of couture gowns). Instead, you target poor people like Texas Towelie or people who are LGBT and lower-middle class like hrmjustin. Your political discourse is limited to insulting people in precisely the ways you have done in this thread, insults that are ludicrous considering your own class privilege and the poverty and oppression of those you target.
A politician is not a cause. That you think your reverence for a single member of the political elite justifies your treating members of the subaltern with contempt shows that your goal is not at all what you claim. You are engaged in a war every single day, but it's not against the banks or the 1 percent. It's against those less fortunate than yourself who don't believe your favorite politician's slogans.
