That's just idiotic pandering.

I have no love for Monsanto or corporate food production but lets not conflate science and technological progress with their greed. Too many of us on the left are blinded by hatred of them to see the remarkable advances that are being made that can actually help humanity.

And I will support Clinton, if she wins, despite the fact that both she and Bernie seem to support alt-med nonsense. The damage the other option would do is just not viable.

I support him but not on the GMO stuff. No candidate's perfect.

I'm not sure of Clinton's stance on the issue.
