[Uncle Joe]

2. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, JonLeibowitz.

[HerbChestnut]

3. Amazing.

[Fumesucker]

4. Feel the Bern!

[BainsBane]

5. How many donors?

[JonLeibowitz]

6. Precise numbers unknown. A lot more than Mdme. Secretary though. People Power!

[morningfog]

7. One metric assload of donors.

[BainsBane]

8. Okay, I can believe that

[daleanime]

15. Would you believe just 3 people donated a million times each?

[BainsBane]

16. No

The legal minimum would be 1,111.11.

[daleanime]

18. Well, if it helps you, I've only make 5 donations....

of far. Of course my total falls far short of Hillary's average, but c'est la vie.

[BainsBane]

20. What do you think her average is?

In 2015, I gave a total of $261. The campaign said that put me in the top 88% of donors, which would indicate the average was considerably less than my total (also over several donations).

[daleanime]

23. Bernie's average is about $27....

I'm one of the poor folks pulling down his average. If we can change things, and keep me a democrat, it will be money and time well spent.

[BainsBane]

25. Are you saying that if Bernie doesn't win the nomination

you'll become a Republican? Or a permanent third party voter?

[JonLeibowitz]

27. Fishing for DU TOS violations is not very classy. nt

[BainsBane]

31. You're the one who made the proclamation

Not me. Whatever. I get your point.

I'd said before that I think we are entering a period of party realignment.

[trillion]

47. I understand what this person means. Hillary really is that bought out.

Anyway, nothing could make me a republican and I never got over the greens throwing the 2000 election so I won't go green(and I found out too much about them -inflexible as libertarians only on the left.)

In a sane race I would not vote at all if it came down to hillary though. But, it looks like that won't be possible no matter who the dems pick this year because it is an insane race. I have to stop cruz, rubio, bush, carson, fiorina, etc. etc. Trump however... heck, I'd vote for all those nasties i just listed if it meant stopping trump from getting a hold of our nuclear arsenal. I think this year takes the cake, worst people running ever! Scariest election ever too.

I can't stand hillary for her record because I've watched her too long and she kept going against the liberals. Right now it's all lies lies lies but that's was her action while in congress, lie lie lie, look good to the liberals, vote with the republicans. She is only better than the republicans because she's not profoundly racist, a christo facist, or homicidally insane.

That said, if we don't get Bernie we're screwed with Hillary. The least of the evils has gotten a lot worse, just like the evils have gotten worse. I wonder how long before the least evil finally sinks to this years republican runners...

[trillion]

49. I should qualify that. They aren't all bad.

Bernie has the record behind him and it's astonishing we get such a good pick and that he has closed in on Hillary in the race.

Kasich(sp) nearly sounds sane on the republican side but I saw a clip of him on democracy now that showed he is very much from the republican party. Hence, Bernie is the only candidate that would try to improve America and I believe he would improve the world. It's like Carter running only I think Bernie is far more savvy - not that I don't have a lot of respect for President Carter and any political opinions he offers now a days.

[a2liberal]

54. Mostly off-topic, but Cruz scares me waaay more than Trump (nt)

[senz]

55. Me too.

Trump is normal scary, Cruz is icky creepy.

The Republican Party is a garbage can.

[trillion]

57. Okay, to be fair I don't know a whole lot about cruz. If he's scarying both of you

he must be pretty bad. Creepy does sound like what I've seen so far.

[trillion]

56. Cruz is horrible. Both he and trump are infantile. But I believe trump is more reactionary

and refuses to yield even when he's dead wrong. I think he's more dangerous with our arsenal. Cruz could be talked to by the department of defense, I don't believe trump could. Trump surrounds himself with yes men and would be firing anyone who tried to say his ideas are bad or so much as didn't agree with him.

[a2liberal]

59. I think it's an act

I suppose my fear levels hinge on that, but I don't believe a President Trump would act that way. I think he'd govern like your average center-right Republican (think Bush, Kasich, maybe even Bloomberg is a good comparison). I could be wrong but I don't think so. Cruz on the other hand truly believes the stuff he spews. Especially his disbelief in separation of church and state. That combined with watching his and his father's Dominionist preaching videos (don't have it in me to get into the vile beliefs right now) truly frighten me.

But we don't really need to even waste time discussing it, they're all terrible

[daleanime]

41. Become a republican?

Wash your mouth out. Hillary not losing the primary will greatly increase the chance of me holding my nose, although I had better be careful not to eat the night before. Three simple words, Iraq War Vote. But what I won't do is stay in a party where the leadership not only doesn't hold the same views as me, but actually works against my views. In the mean time I working hard to stay a member of the only party I've had since 1980. Does that give you enough rope?

If not don't worry, the smallest of consequences from Hillary failing to lose the primary will be me leaving on my own. When I disagreed with Clinton(Bill) I've said so, when I've disagree with Obama I say so, and when I disagree with Bernie I say so. Hillary would receive no less and we both know that would not be tolerated in HillaryUnderground. So I hope you have a lovely rest of the evening.

[trillion]

48. This is what I don't get about the hillary supporters. Let me spell this out for you.

ALL DEMOCRATS that aren't voting for Hillary are not doing it because they want to become republicans. It's because they don't want to vote for a republican - her record.

Not voting for Hillary means the person is a LIBERAL democrats.

There is no question this person won't vote for her for the same reason. She is Jeb. She proved it over and over and over, stunning the people with Bernie signs that anyone on a site like this would be supporting her after her record.

Asking if they are a republican because they are saying they won't vote for her means you really really really really really don't get the problem with hillary. It aint cause we like rethugs, it's because we don't.

That said, she'll get my least of evils vote and thats it. I recognize she is really really bought by wallstreet and the insurance companies. She should be in jail just for the TPP.

[trillion]

51. Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were accusing the non hillary voter of going to become a republican.

I should have posted to Bowie.

[trillion]

50. I've only donated once so far - but will more. I'm actually embarassed that there are people

who have donated 5 times to my one.

[bvf]

17. Good one!

(No, not really. Sorry.)

[BainsBane]

22. Can't even ask a simple question

Without people getting defensive.

I don't know why you should think there is something wrong with the public knowing something so simple.


Oh, wait. Is this like an anti-math thing? Is math in on anti-Bernie conspiracy along with science, logic, and the MSM?

[bvf]

30. Heh!

Is math in on anti-Bernie conspiracy along with science, logic...

Yeah. Good point.



Slow down. You're just making it worse.

[trillion]

52. What are you even saying?

[jfern]

21. Over 1 million

[BainsBane]

24. Meaning the average donation is less than $3?

I seriously doubt it.

[jfern]

26. Nowhere was anything about donation size said

[BainsBane]

28. Do the math

$3 million donations

$1 million donors (your claim)

$3 mil/$1 mil = $3.00. It makes no sense. There have to be significantly fewer than one million donors.

[jfern]

29. LOL, there was no dollar figure at all

3 million donations from over 1 million donors

[BainsBane]

32. You're right

my mistake.

Of course he has raised way more than $3 million dollars. I think it's closer to $50-70 million.

[restorefreedom]

62. he has said on the campain trail

that the average donation is about 31 dollars.

[kenfrequed]

34. Oh my gods...

Why don't you do something strategic and actually stop posting on this thread.

I mean, you managed to kick it every time you challenge the three million donations thing so the headline keeps sticking. That and your arguments look like quibbling.

Wait, why am I actually trying to help you since I support Senator Sanders?

Maybe it might be because having observed the style of your usual argumentation you actually seem to be making Hillary LESS appealing in the eyes of Sanders supporters.

Please for the love of gods can I at least beg you not to switch sides and help elect Bernie Sanders, you would do us more harm than good.

[BainsBane]

36. My, aren't you pleasant

I wasn't "quibbling." I asked a simple question and engaged in a bit of banter. It's sad that every little thing has become a fight.

I admitted my mistake. And you're right. I lack the winning personality necessary to be a Sanders supporter. I've never even attacked complete strangers on FB. I ask questions. I even admit to being wrong when I make a mistake. Clearly I'm beneath contempt.

Sorry I dared to respond to people clearly so inherently superior to me. I shall try to stay in my place from now on.

[SunSeeker]

37. LOL

[sheshe2]

38. ;)

[SunSeeker]

39. ...

[sheshe2]

42. ...

Backatcha~

[bvf]

65. If at first you don't succeed...

I shall try to stay in my place from now on.

That's all anyone can ask.

[Gregorian]

9. We did it!

Also, Bernie's track and field is showing. When you reach your goal and then say, let's keep going, that's the sign of someone who enjoys endurance racing.

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. 3 MILLION DONATIONS for BERNIE !!

Woot! Woot!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[retrowire]

11. i can say it!

Bernie wins!

[TIME TO PANIC]

12. Excellent!

[sabrina 1]

19. Now THAT is what you call scientific proof of a candidate's 'electability' and support!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

35. Perfect!

[passiveporcupine]

40. Saturday midnight is the deadline for donations to help with the Iowa caucus.

I really can't afford it right now, but I just dug down deep and made another contribution today.

Let's put our money where our mouth is guys!


If you can afford it.

[trillion]

53. You've convinced me. Wheres the act blue link. Is it that one again.

They should have added it to this thread.

Found it:
Donate to DU for Bernie here: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/duforbernie

Okay, I'm in it 2 donations now. I will make sure I get up to 5 donations.

[BeanMusical]

44. Kick and R

[Arugula Latte]

45. (Old Shake 'n' Bake ad) "And I helped!"

[Blue_In_AK]

46. I helped.

[senz]

58. I helped

gave 'em $250 yesterday on top of the monthly donation and felt guilty when they asked for more today to meet the $3 million goal so am relieved they met it because I'm torn between national goals and personal necessity, a hard choice. Candidates like Bernie occur once in a lifetime.

[questionseverything]

66. the 3 million goal is for number of donations

don't hurt yourself contributing ...there are many ways to help get bernie elected ....if we all do the best we can, i believe it will be enough

thank you for all you are doing!!!!

[senz]

67. Which means much more than 3 mil was raised for Bernie!

Very good news. The reason I'm giving a bit more than comfortable is that, due to some health issues, I can't, at this time, give the kind of volunteer support I'd like to and firmly believe Bernie's candidacy presents the best chance for America -- and, by extension, the world -- to turn in a healthier direction. Any of the other candidates -- Hillary or the Republicans -- will continue down the corporate controlled path to greater economic suffering for the non-rich and destruction of the natural environment that makes life possible for all species and livable for humans. That is an unequivocally bad direction.

I cannot think of anything more worthwhile, right now, than helping elect Bernie POTUS. If he doesn't get the nomination, I'll probably turn my attention to organizations that are actively working in the right direction.

[Blue_In_AK]

60. 3,006,215.

[Warren DeMontague]

61. MY GOD! JUST LOOK AT ALL THAT MISOGYNY!!!!!!!

btw

[senz]

68. Yeh, aren't we just a buncha women haters?

The only reason I support Bernie is that I can't stand myself.

[LiberalElite]

64. Kick! nt
