Ronda Rousey Endorses Bernie Sanders

I'm ok with this. Her reasoning isn't bad if you read the article. I'm sure she isn't a political junkie.

Her reasoning isn't all that bad.

The undefeated UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion said in an interview with Maxim that she is voting for Sanders “because he doesn’t take any corporate money.”

[h=1]“I don’t think politicians should be allowed to take money for their campaigns from outside interests,” Rousey said.[/h]Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, is running against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.
“If he doesn’t win against Hillary, then I’ll probably vote for a third party again,” Rousey said. “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.”

Certainly better than people who vote strictly on party lines-such as standard D's and R's.
 
I'm not a Bernie fan, but I found political discussions more enlightening with Kucinich fans than I did with your average Republican, and they were usually more open to Ron Paul's ideas than most brainwashed FOX viewers. I'll withhold judgement of her. She could be a future ally as she matures.
 
Ronda (to my understanding) voted third party in the past, supports gun rights, and was home schooled. That puts her in the independent/alternative recruitable zone, regardless of the details. Perhaps she is averse to social conservative views, or simply has very noisy liberal friends in the media.

Whether they can or cannot donate, she thinks they do. (not that many people outside of political junkies and anti-political circles care about the details of these things) It may not be factual, but it is reasonable. Having found her way to this position from reasoning, she could also be convinced of something even more reasonable.
