How do you explain hundreds of small donations from the same people. Are they donating every day? You don't see anything abnormal about that?

You help give me hope that at least there's a good possibility he'll be our candidate. I had been undecided for quite some time and then I got behind Warren (but thank God I knew to wait to vote until yesterday's South Carolina Primary and not vote early like some folks).

Since election day here in California is on Tuesday, March 3rd, our votes will help be a determining factor regarding who the candidate will be. I don't think this has been the case for the entire time I've lived here since 1988. We normally vote in the primary in June (and I think - but I'm not sure - that the candidate has mostly been decided by then). I just know that this time is more important than ever!

I've been on the phone with friends (most of us knew to wait until after South Carolina to vote) off and on all day going through the judges, various state measures, etc.

I hadn't been able to take the time to do my research in advance like I normally do so waiting until the last minute was a little dicey. I posted on the CA forum here in DU and asked for some guidance. Between me and various friends' kind of working together, I think we'll be making some well-thought out choices.

Most of us will be voting for Biden.

I'm currently working as a substitute teacher so I won't be able to contribute as much as I'd like but I will DEFINITELY contribute something - it may be $25 but I'll give what I can....

It's insulting shit like what you posted that drove me to him, along with his commanding SC victory and rousing victory speech.

I like Warren and Buttigieg, and I might have gone with Warren, but it's clear all her candidacy is doing is helping Bernie by splitting up the Not Bernie vote, which is what Pete realized he was doing and why he quit.

It is now obvious Biden is the only candidate with a path to victory against Sanders, and our best chance to defeat Trump.

Sanders is just too divisive, and some of his supporters are even worse.
