Whadda know? Bernie DOES have more female supporters than Mrs. Presumptiveness!

[Fawke Em]

Reddit called this one weeks ago and I posted about it here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/128074335

But, now the WaPo has caught up!

So what if 60 percent of Hillary Clinton campaign donors are women? Bernie Sanders's campaign says that more women have given money to the Vermont senator's insurgent campaign.

As of the last reporting period at the end of September, some 301,154 women gave money to Sanders in his quest for the Democratic presidential nomination, according to his campaign. That would top the approximately 240,000 women who have given money to Clinton since she launched her campaign.

This is how we do it!

1. you mean donors not supporters

there is a difference

[Crystalite]

2. In context, supporters is fine. Financial supporters is what they are.

It would be fair to say that Bernie has more female financial supporters than Senator Clinton.

3. Some give votes and some give votes AND money eom

[Fawke Em]

15. Hey!

That looks like my couch.

[LiberalElite]

33. It sort of looks like mine -

I have 4 cats and no dogs. A friend who lives in a studio apartment and has four cats complains she can never find a place to sit.

5. Supporters who really mean it and give what we can.

[Fawke Em]

6. Well, that's changing and I'm fine with that, too.

[AlbertCat]

17. you mean donors not supporters

Are you serious?

[sabrina 1]

20. Women who are COMMITTED! Coung this woman as a supporter of he REAL feminist

in this race.

You CANNOT support War AND claim to support WOMEN or MINORITIES. Sorry Hillary!

[Fawke Em]

22. I followed you on Twitter last night.

I know it was you because of the name and the ice skating.

4. Bravo! One more falsehood bites the dust.

We usually know who we can and can't trust. It's not that hard. [img][/img]

[liberalnarb]

7. Woohoo

[catnhatnh]

8. The campaign said she had a higher percentage of woman donors...

because conversely she had

1.a lower absolute number of female donors

2.a lower absolute number of male donors

and lastly

3.a lower percentage of male donors

So essentially her campaign statement is meant to show that unlike Meatloaf, they believe 1 out or 4 ain't bad....

9. Because of this story earlier today Marta became a first time donor to Bernie

Add one more female donor to the list.

13. Tell Marta I said:

Woo Hoo!

[AzDar]

10. K & R

[rbnyc]

11. Excuse me, but...

...that's MS. Presumpiveness.

Have some respect.

[Fawke Em]

16. LOL.

HDR, in the vernacular.

[longship]

12. For Christ sakes, have some humility!

I love Bernie, but I do not think I have ever read a more presumptive post ever on DU than this one.

This kind of infighting between Hillary and Sanders supporters makes DU utterly suck.

I am disgusted.

[Fawke Em]

14. Thems the breaks.

I posted something earlier that is true and was fact checked by better math minds than mine.

BTW, this is a protected group. I didn't post this out on GD-P. I posted it to and for fellow Bernie fans. I'm SUPPOSED to be PRESUMPTIVE and CHEERLEAD in my candidate's own group.

Maybe you took a wrong turn on the way to Albuquerque?

Or maybe you're trying to flame bait.

[SoapBox]

18. Nothing wrong with the posts.

Hill's "claim" started the whole thing...it got fact checked...and Bernie is the winner.

Period!

Thanks for the follow up in this.

[longship]

19. I would never presume to flame bait here.

I merely would prefer that common courtesies be abided by, a concept few here on DU seem to understand.

And I will very likely vote for Bernie in my primary in MI. So there's that.

[Fawke Em]

23. OK.. so what's the problem with my post?

A couple of weeks back, I posted a Reddit thread that parsed the numbers and found that Bernie had more female (donating) supporters, per person, than Hillary did.

The Washington Post carried a similar story today (well, yesterday, now) that confirmed that.

I posted this in the DU "fan site" for Bernie and not in the general threads.

How was I being uncourteous?

[cui bono]

25. "Mrs. Presumptiveness" is uncourteous.

Now we all know there are many nasty Hillary supporters on DU, you know, the ones that hang out at the Clinton Cave and troll here, but we don't have to be like them and turn off the decent Hillary supporters and Bernie supporters for that matter, and especially the undecideds, if there can be such a thing on a political message board.

21. Hillary supports WAR. This isn't 'presumptive'. You cannot support WAR and claim to support

women and minorities. What is your point here? THIS woman supports the real Feminist in this election, and so do every one of my Feminist friends.

The PRESUMPTION is on the part of the Hillary campaign who dare to speak for women. They do NOT. Hillary's record on policies that have HARMED women is atrocious!

Please explain your point I am not getting it..

[Android3.14]

26. I'm disgusted by a candidate that undermines the democratic process

Her manipulation of the debate schedule, her acceptance of corporate money, her mealy-mouthed (and obviously temporary) changes in rhetoric and the way her DINO supporters engage in similar tactics demands a response from the people she is trying to deceive.

[cui bono]

24. It would be nice if you edited out "Mrs. Presumptiveness".

I'm not a host here but I think that's not necessary and not productive.

[LiberalElite]

27. Not my OP but

if we can't speak our minds here in a "protected" group where can we?

[cui bono]

31. Imo, that's not what the "protected" is for. It's for keeping the attacks out, not allowing them

as long as they are towards others.

[bvar22]

29. Would "Ms Inevitable" be OK with you?

[cui bono]

30. It does sound less offensive to me.

[ladyVet]

32. Splitting hairs. She is the presumptive candidate, at least, if you listen to her supporters.

I see nothing wrong with it. In fact, I call her Madame Presumptive (a play on Madame President, in case you didn't get it) myself. There are a lot of really offensive names she could be called, but Bernie supporters aren't that way. Wish we could say the same about the other side.

28. Bernie sends out a billion emails asking for $3. Hillary sends three emails asking for $1B.
