Bernie was proud to say that his campaign was funded by small individual donors averaging $27 each. Then a few days ago I saw news that Clinton told the audience that her campaign was supported by people who donated average of $100. Nice parroting.
Really? Who is "parroting" whom?

As a matter of pure uncontested fact, there has been more super PAC money spent thus far in express support of the Sanders campaign than for either one of his Democratic rivals. Let that sink in. That includes, by the way, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records. And no, the FEC is not paid by the Clinton campaign, or Koch brothers, or Wall Street any more than this column is. Their job is to report who is contributing to the Sanders’ campaign based on information provided by the Sanders’ campaign and the super PAC according to FEC campaign finance reporting requirements.
Oh, yes, a site that brags about having no corporate masters and financial overlords is attacking a freakin' nursing union as proof of big money in politics. Big nursing is the real threat to our democracy.
They forgot to mention the tens of millions in SuperPAC money that have been given to Hillary so far. But we all know she is not influenced by any of this, only republicans are influenced by big money in politics.
And in today's political climate that is a negative is because how?
