Why don't you address the criticism that's actually being made?
Democrats and Republicans both accept special interest money to fund their campaigns, this ensures they will represent those special interests at the expense of their constituents who voted them into office.
Do you even agree that this is a problem or do you support it?
What part of what I said don't you understand?
I said, it is naive to say Democrats and Republicans are the same. There is plenty of evidence to support my statement.
You keep talking about "special interest money" as if that in and of itself is proof of corruption. You have made the classic mistake of confusing accepting legal campaign donations with graft.
Let's use Pelosi as an example. She's the recipient of beaucoup bucks this year. Do you know that she's on record for supporting progressive causes 94% of the time? Sanders clocks in at 96%. I mean, are you that sensitive that one or two votes makes such a difference to you?
Pelosi is the leader of the Democratic Caucus Campaign Committee. You know, the same DCCC that stiffed the Colorado guy, Tilleman?
Here is the spending breakdown for the DCCC this year according to

Explain please how accepting legal campaign donations equals corruption? Seems to me that the DCCC is going after Republicans HARD. Is that corrupt? Is that what's got you all bothered?
What specific act of corruption are you talking about? Pelosi has virtually the same record as Bernie. Is your belief that Pelosi is corrupt based upon one vote?
Look at that. The DCCC actually spent most of their money for and against actual campaigns instead of lining their own pockets like your much beloved Justice Democrats did. Did you know that 99% of all money raised and spent by Justice went into the "salaries" and consulting fees?
Who are Sander's supporters to cast shade regarding corruption anyway? "Our Revolution" doesn't report it's spending because it is a non-profit LLC so we don't know what they have done. Their results thus far have been deplorable. Justice Democrats, to their credit, report how they are corruptly spending their money -- on themselves, LOL.l
