The Single Most Important Difference Between Bernie and Hillary (from last night's debate).

Contrary to what Clinton tried to assert last night, as Harvard University’s Center for Ethics finds —

“Contributions do influence policy.” 

And that policy is for the wealthy, against the poor. 

As Johns Hopkins associate professor of political science Steven Teles tells us —

"[The complexity and incoherency of our government] makes it difficult for us to understand just what the [US] government is doing, and among the practices it most frequently hides from view is thegrowing tendency of public policy to redistribute resources upward to the wealthy and the organized at the expense of the poorer and less organized."

The two exist in a symbiosis of money and power, helping each other to retain their mutual vice-like grip on wealth and status. 

In other words, Congress is "rewarding [corporations] for ripping us off," because Congress is profiting, too.

This is why we have a country with more people in prison than any other nation on earth.

This is why Americans pay far more for our drugs than almost any other country in the world. 

This is why we can’t get tuition free college, or health care for all, or increase the minimum wage, or rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, or get a tax system that makes the wealthy pay into the society they profit from —

People are making millions off our oppression. 

And nothing will get done, by Hillary Clinton or anyone else, until this — as even Jimmy Carter sees it to be — oligarchic state comes to an end. 

This admission, this leveling with the American people about a corrupt Congress, comes from Bernie Sanders’ mouth, and no one else’s.

It is the single biggest, and most important, difference between him and Clinton.

Honesty about this corrupt political system, and openness that no president will be able to change this without the strong support of the American people. 

As Sanders said last night—

“The only way we make change in terms of health care, in terms of dealing with a broken criminal justice system which, today, allows us to have more people in jail than any other country -- largely African-American and Latino -- the only way we create millions of jobs by rebuilding our infrastructure or have a tax system that says to the wealthy that they are going to pay their fair share, is when millions of people become involved in the political process. 

No, you just can't negotiate with Mitch McConnell. Mitch is gonna have to look out the window and see a whole lot of people saying, ‘Mitch, stop representing the billionaire class. Start listening to working families.’

And as president, that's what I will work hard on.”

Anyone who support Clinton and cannot agree with this reality is dishonest.

She's taken political donations from wealthy Investment firms like Goldman

Sachs, and she's voted for war when peace was a better option (i.e. Iraq).

That's why I will not vote for her. I'd vote for Sanders simply because he was honest.
