Really, what nerve !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SamKnause]

We have a poster in another group that is worried about Bernie supporters.

They think we are throwing our money down on a losing cause.

They even stated they pity us.

Sad mean people.

Their candidate keeps sucking on the corporate teat and they pity us.

Bernie raises his money the honest way.

They know Hillary can not.

[merrily]

1. I am not funding a measly primary. I'm donating for a revolution.

The American Revolution took about 8 years. I figure I'll re-assess in 8 years.

[Punkingal]

2. My suggestion is pity them. They don't get it and it's their loss.

[Dragonfli]

6. I do pity them, just as I do white mice kept in a cage next to a snake they love

Not even realizing that they are prey, helping their very own predator. Quite sad in my mind, my pity is very sincere as is my belief that they are indeed unwary and deceived prey (well, except those that are wealthy and will share in the mouse feast at the end, sating their hunger of wealth as does the snake that has charmed them all).

[angstlessk]

3. Yes, I read that too, which made me make up my mind

another donation tomorrow!

[Waiting For Everyman]

4. Yeah, I bet that really ticks Hillary off too,

that Bernie has staying power to the end via us small donors.

And that most of us aren't going to get anywhere near the donation limit, whereas her big fish are mostly tapped out. I don't think she can last a 50 state fight. And there are some pretty big states at the end, aren't there?

I can't think of a better cause right now.

5. Concerned member is very concerned over there. Got it. My money, my Revolution. n/t

[southerncrone]

7. Well, that's some kinda warped, weird reverse psychology.

Or is it simply an example of reflection?

[Snotcicles]

8. We'll continue to fight for their best interest weather they appreciate it or not. nt

9. That's an interesting take...

Considering that there was an OP less than 24hr ago which suggested Bernie supporters were "privileged" and wouldn't be affected by a GOP president, and that's why we support Sen Sanders over Sec Clinton. Which is it? Sanders supports can't be privileged elite and poor people flushing money down a drain at the same time!

[John Poet]

10. That was yesterday. This is today.

Their talking points are only good for 24 hours, then they flip-flop.

[Docreed2003]

15. So fast my head is spinning!!

[rpannier]

11. Their concern is duly noted

Though unnecessary
It would be throwing it away if I didn't believe in the candidate and his/her message
My money is not being thrown away on Donna Edwards, Alan Grayson, Dave McTeague and other progressive because I believe in their message.
I don't expect anything in return from any of them other then that they try and help build a better society
Unlike the large donors to some campaigns which expect influence and access

I'm donating, not investing

[tomm2thumbs]

12. a small investment into a better world

in fact, probably the most reasonable thing you can buy in your life

[phazed0]

13. True, in the flesh, 1984 "Double-Think"

'cause the TeeVee likes Hillary! Double plus good!

[Betty Karlson]

14. Bad losers: they are "worried" about us because they want our support but not our ideals.

And that is just too bad for them, because those two go together like gay rights and marriage: you can't have one without the other.

[CrispyQ]

16. A stupid waste of money is giving it to someone who made $21 million in corporate speaking fees.

I'd never give her a dime. Or one minutes of my time.

[SamKnause]

17. Excellent !!!!

I feel exactly the same way.

[lostnfound]

18. Whether or not he wins, and I believe he has a good chance...

I will still feel it is money well spent - patriotic support for a nobler America, a lifelong memory of having held a grand dream of leaving an America for our grandkids, not a corporate-controlled serfdom. If it becomes reality, maybe my boy will be inspired by change that I helped create. If it doesn't come to pass, maybe it will be a big ripple in the pond, the flap of a butterfly's wings, that will make change we can't imagine.

[SamKnause]

20. Agree.

19. Don't let them take your peace :=)
