In reply to the discussion: Do Bernie fans not understand the difference between people and corporations? [View all]PosterChild
(1,307 posts)142. I think you are missing the point . ....
,... the point is that hillary has wide, deep and strong support amongst Democrats and independents, including those here on DU, who are not billionaires , millionaires, 1 percenters, oligarchs , wall street economic criminals or any of the other supposed riff-raff that she is accused of being subservient to.
That support amoung those good people is due to their justified belief that hillary will best serve their interests and the best interest of our country as a whole. Slander and vilification for what amounts to be nothing more than running an effective broad-based campaign for the presidency is, imho, petty and lame.
