Just sent Senator Sanders $20 because Hillary Brock

Theres a text field you can fill out to explain why you're donating. I let the Sanders campaign know that I was donating in order to support him against the filthy jackals attacking him and spreading lies. I went on to say exactly what I thought about Clinton's machinations (can't repeat it here--Bernie's rules are a little less stringent).

Every time the Clinton campaign attacks Senator Sanders with smears or lies, I'll donate again. If I'm broke when that happens, I may send $2.00. If I'm flush when that happens, I may send $100. But I'm making damn sure that every time Hillary Clinton attacks my candidate, my candidate is going to get just a tiny amount of operating capital from me. I urge other Sanders supporters to consider doing something similar.

Thank you.

a dirty trickster I suppose.

But I like that we can USE what is going to be, apparently, the theme of Hillary's campaign, negative ads, nasty attacks, we've some of them already early on, to BENEFIT Bernie and additionally all over Social Media which is all anyone pays attention to anymore anyhow, let the public know why. Expose this most destructive form of campaigning for what it is.

and you just reminded me of a favorite lyric: "...She said a good day ain't got no rain. She said a bad day is when she lies in bed and thinks of things that might have been".

We're going to make sure Bernie Sanders has a Good Day in January, 2017.

Her ability to separate you from your money is amazingly easy. She move society each time she speaks. Your op is solid proof of that. She has clout and that is extremely well known. It is not deniable. The influence she has over you is enormous and effects your decisions. The same will be the case when she is President.

You are making it clear why you are donating to Sanders. Not one sentence in your op states you are donating to him because of his policies. Simply because you are anti-Clinton.
