Why would you think shareholders and corporations donate, because they are on team america?

Its because they are representing their own interests. If change opposes their interests they will be against it.
That explains Wal Mart and Bernie right ????

There is a difference between workers donating and executives/shareholders donating.

They are not one in the same.

I liked the tweet.

It wasn't about Warren, it was about third way.

If your son had actually supported Bernie he would have known he laid out his plans.

Exactly!

Some folks are so transparent with their agenda.

They should just admit they're either anti-semitic, sexist, ageist or don't want their taxes going up and stop it with the petty gas-lighting. Beyond the aforementioned reasons, there's really no other explanation for why they are so hostile towards one of the most honest and caring politicians of our lifetime.

Bernie Sanders spoke at a shareholders meeting.

Great for him, standing up to workers.

Sadly most democrats talking to shareholders want to boost investment and praise donor 'friends'.

Being honest and caring doesnt make you presidential material. If thats your argument, then your candidate will lose every time.

I think this is fairly accurate, that's why I hate politicians.

Not because they're bad people, but because their ambition makes their careers about themselves. If Bernie wanted power he wouldn't have spent his time with the liberty Union party, he'd be currying favors with Ted Kennedy and elite donors.

You can call this unprofessional, but if Bernie can even put a dent in the DC meritocratic culture, that would mean the world to me.
