Recently Joaquin Castro circulated a set of numbers, later said to be sourced from Indivisible, showing contributions from known evil industries, such as pharmaceuticals.
Bernie was not at the bottom, as you might expect from his speeches. He was below average, among the Presidential candidates, but not much below average.
I think these "industry contributions" may come not just from the titans of the corporation, but the ordinary workers. When you make a campaign contribution, you are forced to specify your occupation and employer. Then, someone can simply assign that "employer" to an industry, and we have the "industry contributions."
I believe Bernie when he says he doesn't take corporate PAC money, and certain other things. I think he's more principled about these things, say, than the brother of Joaquin Castro. The numbers are giving a false impression of Bernie's attachment to large corrupt donors, CEO's and so on.
I see nobody else talking about this online, perhaps my googleverse simply doesn't go there.
Perhaps it's just a local thing too, since it came from Joaquin Castro, but the numbers were said to be sourced from Indivisible, which actually seems to have a positive relationship with Bernie, unlike the DNC of 2016 and perhaps today.
