(1,128 posts)If he had partnered with progressive campaigns earlier, people might have actually believed that could actually achieve what he said he wanted to achieve

(11,641 posts)LAS VEGAS (AP) Democratic Nevada congressional candidate Lucy Flores is reporting a fundraising windfall after Bernie Sanders asked his supporters to donate to her campaign.
Flores reported raising more than $428,000 in the first few weeks of April, which dwarfs the amount that she and her two main primary opponents each raised in the first three months of the year.

(3,687 posts)they wanted me to send them money
I sent Bernie another $25 instead
Any organization that is led by someone that supports 300% loan sharks rather than people is way too right wing and sociopathic for me.

(1,446 posts)Good thing I've maxed out my Hillary giving, so I can now switch over to Debbie.
Although I think she has been running a fair election, I would donate even more if there was ever proof that she had done anything to speed up the demise of the Sanders campaign.
BTW...you left out the socialist salutation at the beginning of the email. Very cultish way to address his following, and another red flag to normal people.

(34,165 posts)Feel free to post a screenshot of your donation to DWS so that we know you're not completely full of shite.
You should consider donating to the HRC's superpaks if you're maxxed out to her campaign site. Its all going to the same place anyway.

(114,904 posts)DSW takes big $$$ from the payday lender loan sharks, an industry so toxic that 20 states either outlaw it or sharply restrict it. Google recently barred payday loan sharks from advertising. DSW works to prevent increased regulation on these fucks, both on the federal and state level. But it couldn't possibly have anything to do with the $$$. After all, she's a Clinton dem! And like Hillary, she couldn't possibly be influenced by money.

Tim Canova only accepts small dollar donations.

DSW is strongly opposed to medical marijuana. She says it's a gateway drug and that legalizing medical marijuana will lead to fraud and abuse. She has no problem with ill medical marijuana users being sent to prison- for years.
Tim in his own words:
In Florida, I supported the 2014 medical marijuana referendum that garnered about 58 percent of the vote state-wide, falling just short of the required 60 percent mark. My opponent, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, is a drug warrior who opposed the medical marijuana referendum. Calling marijuana a gateway drug, she refuses to allow her constituents in South Florida, in consultation with their doctors, to decide for themselves whether to utilize this plant-based medicine to alleviate pain and other symptoms of various illnesses and the side effects of other medications
https://timcanova.com/issues
In 2008, DSW refused to endorse democratic challengers to three of the most right wing Florida republican congress critters, saying she didn't want to stab he repuke friends in the back. I mean what the fuckity fuck Fuck.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) is getting brutally walloped in the liberal blogosphere for refusing to endorse the Democratic challengers to three potentially vulnerable GOP incumbents in Florida.
Liberal bloggers are irate that Wasserman Schultz, who co-chairs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committees Red-to-Blue program, has declined to endorse the Democrats running to unseat Cuban American Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Lincoln Diaz-Balart and his brother, Mario Diaz-Balart.
Wasserman Schultz says she doesnt want to stab GOP members of her own delegation in the back. But liberal bloggers say shes killing her own while aiding and abetting the enemy.
Just for the record, Im not in favor of knocking out all Republicans either so perhaps I have a bit of the Wasserman Schultz sin in my own file. I was for instance supportive of Maryland Eastern Shore anti-Iraq war Republican Wayne Gilchrest who lost his primary battle recently.
But the Diaz-Balart brothers and Ros-Lehtinen are not moderate in any sense of the word, are embracers of Bushs wars, and have been responsible for sustaining a counter-productive embargo of Cuba by the United States that 183 nations of the world voted against us on this past year in the United Nations.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz is helping to defend the political turf of not the best in the Republican Party but the worst.

This is not the first time that she has put her parochial interests ahead of her party. Back in 2008, when she was running the DNC's "Red to Blue" project, she famously abstained from supporting three Democratic challengers to incumbent Republicans the Diaz-Balart brothers and the ever-insufferable Ileana Ros-Lehtinen friend to terrorists who blow up passenger jets because she was friends with all three of them.
A day later, Wasserman Schultz and Ros-Lehtinen lavished compliments on each other at a Washington luncheon with Miami-Dade commissioners. "I can't say enough good things about Ileana Ros-Lehtinen; she has been my friend since I was first elected to office," Wasserman Schultz said, noting she relied on Ros-Lehtinen's advice to help balance the demands of elected office and motherhood.

The Kochs hate Donald Trump so much that they're choosing to stay out of the presidential election altogether. So why aren't the billionaire brothers leading the Never-Trump charge?
Throughout the email no word of Bernie, nor Hillary.....where is the money going to?

(863 posts)This is a good way to raise money for other progressives and to make sure they know it comes from a Sanders supporter.
I read a couple of days ago that Bernie needs some cash for the California primary and was going to donate anyway, but a joint donation is even better.
Feel the Bern!
