2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumApple co-founder Steve Wozniak tells followers to #FeelTheBern
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak gave a bit of a boost to presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in a tweet early Tuesday morning.
Wozniak, who co-founded the tech giant with the late Steve Jobs, urged followers to support the Vermont senator's campaign, using #FeelTheBern, the signature hashtag of Sanders backers.
Sanders is an independent but caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate. He is also running for the Democratic nomination in 2016. Clinton remains atop recent polls, but Sanders has gained ground since announcing his run.
Wozniak has donated to both sides in recent presidential elections but has leaned more toward Democrats. He donated a little more than $3,000 to president Obamas first presidential campaign in 2008. He donated a few hundred dollars to Republican Ron Paul during the 2012 contest.
In 2004, he donated $2,000 each to the campaigns of John Kerry, the eventual Democratic nominee, and Howard Dean, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Jobs was just a very good salesman/marketeer. Without Woz they would not have had anything to sell.

(19,326 posts)..is not quite the same thing as one random creative genius, who happened to struck it rich,
and who hasn't sold out his country for profit, and simply makes an endorsement.
Are you seriously trying to somehow equate these things? .. my, how desperate Hillary supporters
must be for SOMEthing to snark about.

Crawford is an equal opportunity payola operative who hands out political bribes to members of both parties. Crawford has mostly worked with Democratic politicians in the past, but has also put his support behind Republican candidates as well. Anyone who was willing to support Monsantos goals would receive support from Crawford, says TrueActivist.com.
