No, he attacks her for who the money comes from.[quote=“dmdisab, post:18, topic:76779”]
Second, it illustrates that Clinton is helping the Democratic party as a whole and Sanders is helping himself.

Sanders and many or most of his supporters realize that the Democratic Party has become a neoliberal machine geared toward further enriching the already wealthy. Clinton is helping the Democrat Party, yes, but by extension, the wealthy people (including herself) that it primarily benefits.
Sanders, on the other hand, calls for a “political revolution” in part by way of calling for a retooling of the current Democratic Party, so that it primarily serves ordinary people, not the wealthy ones who are supporting Clinton instead of Sanders (indeed, that’s a big reason they don’t support Sanders).[quote=“dmdisab, post:18, topic:76779”]
If Sanders sweeps to victory against Trump or Cruz or whoever but the Democrats do not retake the Senate (at least), then everything President Sanders wants to accomplish is DOA.

You’re putting too much weight on the value towards getting others elected of all that big-money funding. If it goes towards supporting candidates who, like Clinton, would be beholden to big money instead of ordinary people because that big money helped them get elected, then to hell with them.
You’re obviously batting for Clinton here, and you’re basically arguing for the continuation of the status quo. Sanders has as much support as he does (and to a large extent, Trump too) because people are sick of the status quo – hell, many are DYING from it. People are sick, especially, of more and more and more of the wealth in the richest country on earth getting sucked upwards, and out of ordinary people’s pockets, whose lives are getting worse and worse. Clinton obviously won’t do much to change that; Sanders obviously wants to, and if elected, would do a lot more towards changing it than Clinton would.
