EXCUSE ME?!..The OFFICIAL Bernie Sanders For President 2016 Thread

So what exactly is your point? That Bernie stole the money? He didn't. That he doesn't deserve it? Why not?

His point was that Bernie Sanders is wealthy, so him discussing the political corruption in DC is hypocritical, because reasons

And that supporting Clinton, the democratic nominee, over Trump is also hypocritical because while he competed against her for the democratic nomination, he said some really mean things about her, and now that he's supporting her, it either means that he was lying about everything he said or that he didn't actually believe any of it himself, which also makes him a hypocrite, again, because reasons


Meanwhile, the class action lawsuit against DWS and the DNC for their conduct during the primary moves forward :)

What happens if some special interest comes along and offers to double their salary if they just play ball?

If you're making $50K, that might influence a lot of people


I agree their salaries are too high and that it's the decision of a functioning retard to allow the previous congress to alter (see: RAISE) the next congresses salaries at their discretion while the rest of us argue over a $10/$12/$15 minimum wage, but $50K is not enough to protect against outside corruptible influences. Fuck, what we pay them now doesn't seem to protect against it (but that's a separate issue). We have effectively legalized bribery and political corruption in this country with the supreme court decisions from Buckley v. Valeo, First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti, Citizens United v. FEC, & McCutcheon v. FEC. Until that changes, a $650K house is fuckin' pebbles comparatively speaking
