Bernie Sanders: It’s Not Democracy When Billionaires Buy Elections

‘You have a vote is democracy’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: "Some billionaire can contribute — you know, a group of billionaires contribute hundreds of millions of dollars to elect a candidate. Is that really democracy? I don’t think so. That you have a vote is democracy. That billionaires buy election is not democracy. So, the Citizens United is one of the worst Supreme Court decisions, stands up there with Roe v. Wade and denying women to control their own bodies, two disastrous Supreme Court decisions that we’ve got to overturn."
