and relying on rich donors generally.

You know...the thing that Hillary does when she solicits money from Bush and Cruz donors.

more in return. Like $18 trillion more. No difference. Greed is greed.

Billionaires willing to sacrifice the earth to add additional billions to their wealth....is greed.

your argument that the average person is greedy is so far removed from any Democratic argument that I have ever heard that it is hard to believe that you are even pushing this viewpoint.

Is this the state of the Democratic Party?

the Democratic establishment has even reversed Obama's wise policy restricting contributions from federal lobbyists ...

they have allowed the consolidation of wealth.....but according to you....I'm the one who is empowering billionaires.

If you look you can find a rightwing website more amenable to your stated philosophy.

Btw, dear, I live off a trust fund. Tell me that I support him because I'm greedy. Do it.

Speaking of greed, hilly and Bill epitomize unbridled new money tacky greed.

That's what I've been doing too. I didn't donate at the beginning of the campaign but I've been donating regularly these past couple of months. They have been hoping to demoralize Sanders supporters (I knew they would do this) so I and many others are either picking up what they normally donate or beginning their donations for the last big push.

Because we're in this to the convention and also because continued donations just seem to piss off all the right people.

In addition to having my donations going to support Bernie and our vision for America, I can also make the establishment nervous when they see him still getting money despite their "shock & awe" Nevada media campaign designed to demonize Sanders' supporters. I can't get media coverage but my money sure can when they have to report that Bernie is still getting money from his supporters despite all of their shit. So here's a big FU to the establishment that thought they could lie about all of us and make us quit. I will be donating to Bernie as long as he is campaigning.
