Not about how much, rather how the money is raised

72% of her donations are public donations.

She gets the rest indirectly from one Super PAC, Priorities USA United, which has raised 55 of the ~190 million that her campaign has raised so far.

It's important to note that the Super PAC has received most of its donations from small public donations as well (with many of the biggest donations being wealthy philanthropists that simply believe in the liberal cause as opposed to Hillary specifically).

The only difference between Hillary and Sanders is that Hillary doesn't pretend that wealthy people don't support her, because ... I know it's shocking to hear...wealthy people are part of society as well.

It's not about campaign funds, it's about her own personal wealth, with millions coming from corporate and Wall Street speeches, with even more shady deals through the Clinton foundation. She'll do anything if the price is right.

Semeone money is good, but money from semeone else and for her arent? This can only make sense in the populistic world of Bernie Sanders. He also takes money from rich people and if I understand correctly he wouldnt say no to money from George Clooney.

If he wins the nomination, there will be a lot of Hillary sponsors that will go for him. I dont see him saying no to them.

This hiprocracy doesnt make any sense when you put it to the character that Bernie Sanders wanted to make in this campaign. Im confused why this attitude doesnt hurt him more. There are more and more clues that his supporters are haters and the hate for the rich and so on made them come and stick together.

Oh lol

That post was less about defending Hillary and more about defending the Democratic party in general.

What are they talking about? Bernie didnt have campaigns supported by rich people?

The little sympathy I had for him its not there anymore. You cant be so hypocritical when you made a point on presenting yourself as the honest politician on this planet.

They are talking about how campaign financing works. Even George Clooney himself admitted the amount of money involved in politics is obscene. I just made a thread about it, check it out.

And without those wealthy people, the Koch brothers would have every government position and office filled with the most conservative of conservative republicans. The country would be taking giant steps backwards in every way! 

The last general election campaign had Obama spending a billion dollars to win over Romney. Yes, much of his money came from Super Pacs and wealthy donors...but otherwise he wouldn't have been able to compete with Romney.

I know. And? Bernie is part of the same issue. He spend lately more than Hillary and  raised more than any republican candidate. If he wins the nomination he will accept all the money that would have gone for Hillary.

He is just a hyprocrite.

It's only bad when it's against their own interests.

Sound familiar?

And? Your original post was saying "Don't they know Bernie spent just as much"

That's NOT what was being protested or discussed. The protesters disagree on how much money is involved in elections. It's not difficult to comprehend.

Then they should go to protest at Bernie house also, since he also raised and spent a lot of money, more than any other republican candidate.

You know you can't tell these Bernie Bots nothing!!!   

The detailed intricacies & nuances of the political realm elude them, because they too often just think in absolutes!  Right or Wrong, Black and White, Up or Down, etc.  The opposite side of The Trumpsters actually when you think about it.
