Capitalism is the insurance company denying your claim.

Non-exhaustive, but a good list to start.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

If a nurse gives a Senator $50 to vote for Medicare for All, it's illegal.

But Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, spent $45 million to get Trump elected. So Trump is helping his family control:

CBS
CNN
TikTok
HBO
TNT
MTV
BET
And more

That’s a corrupt campaign finance system.

It is time for the establishment to step aside.

This means parties can spend unlimited amounts of money in upcoming elections.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

You want to run a campaign for public office that's going to stand up for working class people. What happens next?

The billionaires and their super PACs will spend tens of millions of dollars to defeat you.

Unacceptable. We have to get super PACs out of politics NOW.
