Corporate control or Worker control: Your choice
This is significant and telling. If you believe in following the money, the money route here leads to the conclusion that worker supported unions believe that Hillary is not on their side and Bernie is.
Washington Free Beacon
While Hillary Clinton has made a political career with the support of the financial sector, socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) has relied on labor. A review of campaign fundraising records conducted by the Labor Union Report found that all of Bernie Sanders’ top donors come from Big Labor, which could complicate Hillary Clinton’s tack to the left to woo union support.
Hillary's Top Career Donors:
“Sanders enjoys a lot of support from labor unions. Though he has had donors from other sectors, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, all of Bernie Sanders top donors over his career are union political action committees (PACs),”
Bernie's Top Career Donors:
Sanders has been making inroads amongst Democratic voters, despite its disadvantage in fundraising and staff compared to the Clintons. The Clinton campaign has established the largest New Hampshire campaign team in history, according to the Washington Post. But that has not stopped Sanders from rising in the polls. He trails Clinton by only 8 points in the second primary state, the first poll in which the former secretary of state led by less than double digits.
Clinton is making an obvious leftward drift since Sanders came on the scene. And some of her historical contributors are pissed. She's walking a very thin tightrope in trying to please everybody.
Clinton’s leftward drift stands at odds with the people and organizations that have bankrolled her political career, as well as her family foundation. The Clinton Foundation has collected more than $10 million from union targets Walmart, McDonalds, and Yum Brands, which owns Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken, according to foundation disclosures.
Of course, unions have
lost a good amount of members and influence since the neo-libs have taken over. A Clinton victory insures that that downward spiral would continue.
This election offers a clear choice: A Clinton victory means the corporations will exert even more influence. Whereas a Sanders victory would be a start at rebuilding the middle class by giving workers more protection.
