Sanders is the man

The media won’t cover him, and the establishment won’t actively promote him. There are 500 superdelegates already pledging their votes to Hillary Clinton, and it’s not even 2016. Yet Bernie Sanders’ popularity is growing.

Why? Simple, the people want him. His donations are only averaging $30, while Clinton hasn’t disclosed her average. He has shown throughout his long career a consistent set of principles. He marched with Martin Luther King Jr. and defended the LGBT community.

You might not fully agree with his ideology, but let’s face it — he’s the only person who has shown time and again that he will not let his integrity diminish and doesn’t take advantage of super PACs.

Both parties have their establishment members and crooks, but only one man can truly fight for us with no commitment to any billionaires.
