Sound familiar? Who’s drawing young people this election, offering hope and change, and appealing to the ideals of the average American? It’s certainly not the person under FBI investigation. Hillary Clinton is able to get away with this style of politics, in part because of white privilege. In terms of trying to crush hopes, dreams, and any genuine attempt at altering the status quo, Hillary Clinton is doing to Bernie Sanders what she and Bill tried to do against Barack Obama. The same complaints about tone and attempts at vilifying Obama in 2008 are today being witnessed by Bernie Sanders. Ultimately, aside from the racism and Islamophobia, Hillary Clinton has used the same playbook against Bernie Sanders in 2016.<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/h-a-goodman/iraq-trustworthiness-fbi-investigation-sanders-more-qualified-clinton_b_9641382.htmlBud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-71788033335482706482016-04-08T18:36:30.249-07:002016-04-08T18:36:30.249-07:00.@BernieSanders > @HillaryClinton said #BernieS....@BernieSanders > @HillaryClinton said #BernieSanders is better than any #Republican.

Her campaign actually "turned on a static noise machine" pointed at the press so they couldn’t hear what she was saying to the financial elite in attendance. (She doesn't want "the 47%" to know what she REALLY thinks about us.)<br /><br />Bernie Sanders's campaign is funded by emails, so technically, those are Bernie Sanders's fundraisers. No noise machine there – they’ll say it directly to you and any members of the press who are on thier email list: <br /><br />"If Bernie Sanders is elected, he is going to take on a rigged economy held in place by a corrupt campaign finance system. He’s going to fight for universal health care, keep fossil fuels in the ground, ensure no bank is too big to fail and no banker too powerful to jail."<br /><br />But this is the most important three weeks of Bernie's campaign, as there are a lot of big primaries right around the corner — and Bernie will get a fighting chance if we all stand together.<br /><br />Bernie's campaign is proving that WE THE PEOPLE really can get someone elected who doesn't have to hustle millionaires and billionaires for money — because Bernie's campaign is funded by individual donors like us.<br /><br />There are no oligarchs waiting in the wings; Bernie will not be beholden to wealthy plutocrats, only to us — THE PEOPLE.<br /><br />Here's the link...<br /><br />https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/most-important-three-weeks<br />Bud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.com
