The frustration at Hilary was that it was Saudi money, not that it was money going to the Clinton Foundation, was it not?
I’m not totally up on campaign finance law, but don’t most politicians have or be long to these political lobbying organizations?
A quick search basically says the Sanders Institute works to get progressives elected, so that seems a legit use of campaign money, or am I clueless on this?
I remember listening to him 12+ years ago when he was regularly on “Best of the Left” etc - I’m not sure what happened but now he’s an anti-vaxxer ivermectin nut.
It’s really sad, I really liked him at one time - he used to make a lot of sense to my very lefty mind, and then at some point I realized the things he was saying were becoming more conspiracy than reality and that I didn’t really agree with him anymore. I like science and evidence, not crazy bullshit.

To summarize: “OMG, Sanders donated campaign funds to a non-profit we don’t like!”

OP’s (hopefully) sarcastic username checks out.
Wait, is Jimmy Dore not a Lefty? I’m not up on my youtube politics scene beyond breaking points. What’s the deal with Jimmy Dore?

Who the fuck cares about this entertainer’s politics? He’s a comedian, not a politician
