i really don't get the fear some people have of bernie. chris matthews the other day said he thought bernie would hang him publicly in central park or something. do people like their money this much?

yes

can't honestly say if money is the primary reason someone would want to hang matthews in central park

i'm not even sure they'd lose money in the end. maybe the 1% of the 1%. but investing in education and healthcare and energy infrastructure would mean a healthier economy, more returns on investments. he's not talking about disrupting the capitalist paradigm but improving it

So an anonymous bloc of Democratic Party donors is launching a PAC specifically designed to stop Bernie Sanders and saying it won’t release its funding sources because Sanders supporters are too mean online?

pretty cool to know that kryptonite for billionaires is being owned online.

if his program passed as it is described, it would cause massive disruptions in the US economy, which would essentially be restructured--i guess. healthcare and fossil fuels especially would be hit and people would need to find new ways to make money. perhaps also the military. but 1.) sooner or later, these destructive industries are going to have to be reigned in and 2.) he will inevitably need to compromise these positions, and what will end up happening is reform. (reform with teeth hopefully but still)

it just seems like they're overreacting. he is popular enough that, with some institutional backing, he would be a very strong candidate against trump. but instead there is this fearmongering--it goes way beyond people arguing that his plans wouldn't work out as well as he thinks

do people like their money this much?
As near as I can tell, money activates almost all the same responses in the majority of people as any other addictive substance, and like other addicts who become morally unreliable over any perceived threat to their addiction, people who have become to addicted to money will do everything they know how to do to protect their access to whatever feeds their addiction.
The old saying is often misquoted and therefore often misunderstood; correctly stated it goes "the love of money is the root of all evil". That 'love of money' refers to what I am calling an addiction to it. An alternative and oppositional old saying, which you almost never hear at all, is "enough is as good as a feast".

The allure of having too much is enhanced by being contrasted against having nothing. If everyone has access to "enough," the impetus to have too much should be reduced.
We should explore this theory, out of concern for the mental health and emotional condition of the 1%.

I probably should be able to figure this out for myself being a lawyer and all, but at what point did it become fine for political donations to become anonymous? I don't think that was a holding of Citizens United?

Hoping a Sanders presidency can embolden the kinds of actions described in the latter stages of this piece (it's certainly what I thought Corbyn as PM could've done).

xp Yeah it's not a surprise, it's just a stark reminder how important it is the Dem party elite not make any unforced errors that will depress turnout among the base.
