I feel bad for Bernie, he is one of the few uncorrupt politicians who really does his best to help the average worker and he gets shit on constantly. Love you Bernie!
When he tried to put this forth without packaging it into a larger, razor thin deal, every single Democrat voted for it. It was for a 50%+ reduction.
The meme is talking about when Bernie tried to add it into something that was tightly negotiated, which barely passed.
It is a propaganda meme that assumes you won't do the bare minimum to find out how the Democrats actually vote and why, and you're going to see lots of this stuff since we're in election season.
Every accusation is an admission. (Also, not sure if you’re a bot or an asshole, but you seem to be uninformed. Let me help)
To provide a clear, accurate, and direct response, it helps to examine Bernie Sanders' campaign finance policies and recorded data regarding pharmaceutical contributions.
Direct Answer
Senator Bernie Sanders does not accept contributions from pharmaceutical companies, corporate PACs, or fossil fuel executives, relying instead on individual grassroots donations.
Key Details & Policy
No Corporate PAC Money: Sanders famously rejects political action committee (PAC) money from corporations, including the pharmaceutical and health insurance industries, as a core pillar of his campaign platform.
OpenSecrets Data: According to campaign finance transparency groups like OpenSecrets, his campaign fundraising consists overwhelmingly of small-dollar individual contributions from regular citizens rather than corporate or industry-linked PACs.
Stated Position: Sanders has consistently criticized big pharma and major healthcare corporations, advocating for policies like Medicare for All, lowering prescription drug prices, and allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices directly.
