Bernie IS Taking Big Corporate $$ Too

[protectionist]

Bernie Sanders' big claim to fame is his opposition to income inequality, and the big, wealthy corporations (which he usually refers to as "Wall Street"). I recall seeing him bragging about how his donations are "all" from individual, small donors, and not the big corporations.

A check into the sources of his funds shows quite a different picture. His top donors are a combination of big corporations and big unions + the University of California (which I'm still wondering how a PUBLIC entity gets to throw large amounts of PUBLIC money to political candidates, who most of the PUBLIC doesn't even support)

1. Alphabet Inc (Google) - $255,814

2. University of California - $151,633

3. Machinists/Aerospace Workers Union - $105,000

4. Microsoft Corp - $96,446

5. National Education Assn - $94,861

6. Teamsters Union - $96,393

7. Apple Inc - $85,576

8. Kaiser Permanente - $58,313

Clinton for sure. Sanders? You really think he is bound to money? Lol. So is Sanders a capitalist sell out or a socialist? You can't claim both.

He needs the special interest money (union) to run for any office, thus Sanders is more bound by this, than Clinton..

Trump for now uses a lot of his own money and Clinton uses other peoples money..

Just like Sanders!

Silly far left drone!

Who said I was claiming both ? He's a sell-out, as the OP confirms. You can read can't you ?

After trying for years to prove Obama was not born in the US when he was, fox-bot tools like Kosh will vote for someone born in Canada without question. Sheep.

I thought it was commomplace in American elections for organisations like those above to finance both sides in an election, that way the winner would still have "obligations" to them?
