How Clinton supporters can help elect Bernie

[Jim Lane]

I begin with a couple of safe predictions:
* Clinton will do well on Super Tuesday, winning most of the states and a big majority of the pledged delegates that are at stake.
* Clinton supporters on DU will post numerous threads celebrating the victory, many of which will also opine that the race is now over (or maybe even DONE).

So I’m going to survey DU and contribute to Bernie on this schedule:
1) For every OP impugning Sanders’s character for not withdrawing (He’s not a real Democrat, he’s out to hurt the party, he’s on an ego trip, whatever), or attacking Sanders supporters on DU in light of Super Tuesday: $10
2) For every OP that doesn’t go quite that far but states or implies that Bernie should drop out: $5.
3) For every OP along the lines of “It’s OVER it’s DONE” but doesn’t get strident about it: zero (I personally think Clinton’s chance of winning the nomination is greater than 50% but still less than 100%, so I disagree with the posts that have proclaimed or will proclaim that she’s inevitable, but just disagreeing with my prognostication isn’t being obnoxious, and this plan is to emphasize “rewarding” the obnoxious).
4) Non-OPs: zero (I don’t want to have to wade through all those threads and besides my means are limited).

If my algorithm yields a contribution of less than $27, I'll round up to $27, so as not to lower Bernie's famous average -- but I strongly suspect that that won't be an issue.

I’ll probably do my census on Thursday, to give all the venom time to come out. I’ll check the Hillary Clinton Group and GD-P, but if anyone spots a qualifying OP elsewhere, please let me know.

So who’s in with me?

6. I meant to add that people could join in at their own comfort level.

If you need to limit it to 10 cents and 5 cents, that's fine. You're still honoring the Clinton supporters who deserve recognition.

OTOH, feel free to set higher numbers if you happen to have gotten really, really rich by investing in one of Donald Trump's casinos. Well, maybe that's a bad example, but the point is that any set of numbers will work.

2. Advise against... it could bankrupt you!

4. LOL!! Maybe do a nickle for every thread. That might be doable.

5. just keep an upper limit is all. Don't want to find you on GoFundMe.

3. As long as it doesn't go over $27 - I'll play!
