@TheDarkleatherbiker While I am waiting for your proof that Bernie takes corp donations (burden on you to prove it since you are doing the accusing) I will post below why I am voting for Bernie. I read a heck of a lot more than you think I do! Feel free to post Pete's record on why you are voting for him....I don't go by words unless there is a record including a voting record to back up what a candidate campaigns on so after you read this you can tell me again what i don't read LOL
And stupidity is the voter that votes for someone that has no record to prove they would do anything they say they will. People that fell for Obama's warm and fuzzy speeches some are smart enough to not fall for that again!
Bernie pushed the Stop Bezos Act to increase minimum wage.
Disney followed suit after Bernie protested in Anaheim.
Six states have moved in that direction. 3 states — New Jersey, Illinois and Maryland — have enacted legislation phasing-in a minimum wage of $15 an hour. California, Massachusetts and New York are the other 3 states that have passed legislation that gradually increases the state minimum wage to $15.
He recently got the vote passed for a bill to halt the Yemen War.
This is the guy who wanted to break up the big banks and predicted the collapse of 2008. He was against the Bank bail outs.
He wants to stop military funding increases and predicted the false-pretense war in Iraq & the rise of extremists (ISIS) 10 years ahead.
He predicted the Patriot Act/NSA would break laws to invade our privacy.
He wanted to prevent NAFTA/TPP He voted against the Patriot Act while just about all of the others voted for it. Don't pretend to be for our freedoms if you are not speaking out against all of the politicians that voted for it.
Bernie is known as Amendment King. Those Amendments count as accomplishments, too!
I'm not saying I agree with every amendment that he has helped pass. I am simply noting this because of all the people that say Bernie has accomplished nothing when he clearly has!
As chair of the Senate Veterans affairs committee Sanders helped pass VA health care system reform in 2014.
He also predicted the Panama Papers tax evasion scandal. He predicted the tax breaks would cut into Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and he was right. This level of intuition, and his abilities as a strategist, are what I believe we need in a president. https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2015/11/28/1453742/-5-Times-Bernie-Sanders-Foresaw-The-Future?
He's been a public servant for the people for over 40 years. How many candidates do you know that have a similar congressional record? Who else brought these campaign ideas that everyone is holding into the mainstream? Bernie is a natural catalyst that incites change. And he's changing it from the ground-up, not top-down. He's walking the picket line with workers.
He took a lot of people to Canada to get their meds cheaper since they couldn't afford them here.
Senator Sanders has the best voting record of any candidate on war and peace issues, especially on military spending. Opposing the oversized Pentagon budget, he has only voted for 3 out of 19 military spending bills since 2013. By this measure, no other candidate comes close, including Tulsi Gabbard. In other votes on war and peace, Sanders voted as requested by Peace Action 84% of the time from 2011 to 2016, despite some hawkish votes on Iran from 2011-2013. Bernie challenges the military industrial complex and HAS BEEN CHALLENGING THEM for decades.
In terms of stopping the war in Yemen, Sanders has been a hero. Over the past year, he and Senators Murphy and Lee have led a sustained effort to shepherd his historic War Powers bill on Yemen through the Senate. Congressman Ro Khanna, whom Sanders has chosen as one of his 4 campaign co-chairs, has led the parallel effort in the House. Of course, Trump vetoed it.

Bernie has voted with Trump 13.8% of the time. Tulsi has with a Trump 20.7%. Bernie is better when it comes to voting. Good intentions matter. Voting matters more!

ECONOMISTS IN SUPPORT OF A $15 U.S. MINIMUM WAGE AS OF 2020

Seattle, one of the cities to more recently raise the minimum wage to $15, has seen large increases in employment and income. According to MyNorthwest.com, not only have many of the businesses who opposed the increase seen higher employment numbers, some are even opening additional locations. In 2014, a study by the Center for Economic and Policy Research found that the 13 states that increased the minimum wage saw employment numbers increase faster than states that did not, an average of 0.85 percent compared to 0.61 percent in the other 37 states.
