Rousey endorses Bernie Sanders
“I’m voting for Bernie Sanders, because he doesn’t take any corporate money. I don’t think politicians should be allowed to take money from outside interests.”
We are living in interesting times.
The august Time magazine has an article on how an MMA fighter has endorsed a democratic socialist for president, citing an interview in Maxim magazine.
“I’m voting for Bernie Sanders, because he doesn’t take any corporate money,” said Rousey to Maxim. “I don’t think politicians should be allowed to take money for their campaigns from outside interests.”
“If he doesn’t win against Hillary, then I’ll probably vote for a third party again. To be honest, in 2012 I was against both candidates and so I just picked any third party because I thought if more people voted for third parties then they’d have to take third parties seriously.”
“I voted for Roseanne last time. Mostly I went in to vote for all the state and local things. I was so unimpressed with the whole presidential campaign that I picked whatever third party I saw, and I saw Roseanne and thought, ‘That’s awesome.’ But I’m really pulling for Sanders this time. I hope it works out.”
Rousey has previously and emphatically said she in not voting for Donald Trump. However UFC middleweight champ Chris Weidman is supporting Trump. And Vitor Belfort has endorsed Ben Carson. Most curiously of all, Jeff Monson wants to vote for Vladimir Putin.
