There are corporate Democrats and there are people Democrats.

One tends to support the interests of businesses and corporations and the other tends to support the interests of the people. Which one are you?

One is a corporatist and one is a socialist. Wouldn't you rather be a corporatist than a socialist?

This is the name-calling that has started with Bernie Sanders. OMG! He's a socialist! Well, at least he's not a corporatist.

How should Bernie respond when he is called a "socialist"?

That's a good way for Bernie - and us - to draw the difference.

Actually - this post isn't about who supports the candidates but what the candidate supports; while it is simplistic,there is some accuracy in saying that Hillary is much more comfortable supporting Wall Street and Corporate goals. She's not as comfortable, perhaps, as Republicans, but she's still willing to go along with them much of the time.

Bernie on the other hand is clearly not a supporter of Wall Street and Corporate interests.

Hillary has a history of caring about people if you bother to look beyond your prejudice
