i believe the only thing we have ever agreed on in any post, was Hilary being "establishment". let's see how Bernie's doing again.
here's the bill you're referring to, and Bernie Sander's did sponsor this bil.

2. This Section, upon ratification of the amendment, would immediately prevent all those
who are not natural persons from spending in American elections. No longer could
campaign donations or expenditures be made by:
- Multi-national or domestic business corporations
- Other for-profit entities, such as limited liability companies, partnerships, trusts,
and associations
- Nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations like Citizens United
- 501(c)(6) business and professional associations, such as chambers of commerce
- 501(c)(5) labor unions
- Individuals who are not US citizens, unless authorized under this amendment (e.g.
permanent US residents)
All forms of organization would be placed on the same footing as 501(c)(3) charities
and be prohibited from intervention in the campaigns of candidates for public office.

Our Revolution (commonly known by its initials OR) is an American progressive political action organization spun out of Senator Bernie Sanders's 2016 presidential campaign to continue its work.[2] The organization's mission is to educate voters about issues, get people involved in the political process, and work to organize and elect progressive candidates.[3][4] Our Revolution is also the title of a book by Sanders released in November 2016.[5]

Sanders founded Our Revolution, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit group that can accept unlimited contributions without disclosing the identities of its donors, in 2016, and one campaign finance expert believes the group’s work to help Sanders achieve his presidential aspirations could be violating the law.

“After the 2016 election, Senator Bernie Sanders founded Our Revolution to build a powerful grassroots movement to challenge corporate control of our government,” Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese wrote in a fundraising message to supporters in December seeking donations to “continue to do the deep organizing necessary to elect President Bernie Sanders.”

More recently, the Court’s McCutcheon decision did away with limits on how much individual donors may give to candidates and political organizations during a two-year federal election cycle. Thanks to these disastrous rulings, the wealthiest individuals, corporations, and special interests are free to donate almost unlimited amounts to super PACs to influence elections and ensure elected officials are beholden to their policy interests. In fact, $4 billion was spent during the last election cycle, a record for midterm elections. Even more troubling, 70% of the money came from large donors who gave $200 or more.
