Sanders’ donors vs. Clinton’s donors
Hillary Clinton’s list of donors is dominated by corporate interests, whereas Bernie Sanders’ top 10 donors come largely from labor unions. Which donors more closely represent the American people and democracy? Which donors contribute to global warming?
Various donors, fundraisers, lobbyists and influence peddlers with major fossil fuel interests have given or raised money for the Clinton campaign. There are also Clinton’s paid speeches that included the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and TD Bank, which have enormous financial interests in fossil fuel industry projects, such as the Keystone pipeline.
They apparently do not value a world for their grandchildren, a world where the daytime Fresno temperature will be 130 degrees. No one will go outside. Water?
Whom do you trust?
