Recently, a reclisted diary and many comments have been trying to sell us the framing that Hillary Clinton is in the tank for the oil and gas industry because she is receiving more donations from people working in the oil and gas industry than Bernie Sanders.
Some folks have been using the open secrets site to try and make some kind of bizarre case for Hillary’s corruption based on what employees in this sector have been donating to her. So I followed the links to Open Secrets, did some research, and was shocked(!) to learn that Hillary has received far more money from people working on environmental issues and people working in the renewable energy sector than Bernie Sanders. She has received 4 times as much in donations from people working on environmental issues as Bernie Sanders and 4.5 times as much from people working in the cleantech/renewable energy industry. Not only that, but she is receiving 3 times as much money from people in those sectors than from the oil and gas industry.
This can only mean on thing:
Hillary Clinton is in the pocket of the environment and the renewable energy industry!! No matter what we say or do, she will be working for the interests of the Environment and Renewables, whether we like it or not. Because she is getting more contributions from people working in those fields than any other presidential candidate. By far.
I also noticed that she is the tank for Labor and for print media. The horror, the absolute horror, I tell ya!!
