Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumBernie is almost unrivaled in supporting other dems!
It has been confirmed! Bernie is one hell of a team player! He's even willing to hold his nose and deal with the occasional financial sector contributor who actually want dems to do well!
Bernie Sanders has:

His ability to bring people together is just amazing.
This article has the added benefit of showing how Bernie Sanders is not a direct beneficiary of superPAC money, nor corporate donations. He doesn't even have a "Sanders Foundation" to filter all that corporate mullah through!
I want to thank BainsBane for taking time out of a busy day of supporting Hillary to show some serious love for Bernie Sanders!
BainsBane, on behalf of Bernie and all his supporters, thank you for your valuable contribution!

(19,326 posts)I find it both abhorrent and slightly amusing how Est. Dems will happily use
Bernie to chair important committees, to fund raise for Democrats, to bring
millions of new Democrats into the party .. yet they will then turn around and
actually use those very acts, and twist them beyond recognition, trying to use
it as ammunition to hurt him.
Bernie's ability to let al that crap roll off his back is quite amazing IMHO.

(57,936 posts)Hillary raises money for herself.
That is the huge difference.
Raising money for herself gives Hillary the power to hand the money out to others in exchange for favors, endorsements, etc.
When Bernie as a part of a group speaks to donors, he does not do it so that he all by himself or with his staff can have the power to decide what happens to the money.
Bernie is the team player here. Hilllary is in it for her own ability to control and decide and have power. She is not the team player. She is in it for herself.
