Bernie Sanders Team Explains Why He Wont Hand Over His Donor List [View all] still_one Jun 2017 OP

Translation: Bernie's seriously considering a run in 2020 emulatorloo Jun 2017 #1

That should NOT stop him from giving the list to the DNC, unless of course he doesn't want to still_one Jun 2017 #7

Hillary didnt turn over her list after her 1st run either Arazi Jun 2017 #13

Then why give such a convoluted explanation, which is no explanation? Just say no comment still_one Jun 2017 #17

Hillary DID share her list. She accepted the SOS position, remember? pnwmom Jul 2017 #110

This. Jakes Progress Jun 2017 #59

I hope he doesn't expect to run as a Democrat. Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #102

Rather Bernie run as 3rd party? Reiyuki Jul 2017 #106

It's his personal source of new found power. NCTraveler Jun 2017 #2

Perhaps there are some contributors who won't mind giving their names to the DNC? nikibatts Jun 2017 #51

Overall, they are about the individual, not the collective. nt. NCTraveler Jun 2017 #66

I particularly like "Hammer of Thor" Hekate Jun 2017 #53

The article lacks specificity but the explanation you seek has always been clear to me. NurseJackie Jun 2017 #3

As I said above, that should not stop him from giving the list to the Democratic party, unless still_one Jun 2017 #9

You are correct with regard to both observations. NurseJackie Jun 2017 #14

or maybe throw support to someone.....Warren please OhNo-Really Jun 2017 #42

I doubt it. I just don't see anything like that happening. It seems highly unlikely to me. NurseJackie Jun 2017 #60

Such a team player. Eom pirateshipdude Jun 2017 #4

Because he's not really a Democrat... Wounded Bear Jun 2017 #5

It's just a carrot he can dangle over the party Blue_Tires Jun 2017 #6

Keep the damn list and I wish the DNC would stop begging for it. It is time to step out mfcorey1 Jun 2017 #8

Sanders didn't have that much support in 2016. pirateshipdude Jun 2017 #11

He is SUPER BERNIE! Only he and yes only HE can pull the cold hard cash out of their wallets! snooper2 Jun 2017 #10

Like most everyone says, "He's not a democrat" Trial_By_Fire Jun 2017 #12

The great majority here at DU like and/or support Bernie. emulatorloo Jun 2017 #19

Agreed 100% Arazi Jun 2017 #35

No, but the list was built while he was running on the Democratic ticket. LisaM Jun 2017 #26

Hillary could have used that donor list. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #52

Sen. Sanders can keep his email list as far as I a concerned. He can run again in 20 Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #103

The answer is in the quotes in the original post dragonlady Jun 2017 #15

That list is not magical contrary to what the OP claims: politicaljunkie41910 Jun 2017 #56

Why would subject his supporters to more fucking spam? killbotfactory Jun 2017 #16

DCCC's job is to take back the House. Is that so terrible? emulatorloo Jun 2017 #20

If you make people regret donating to you, yes it is. nt killbotfactory Jun 2017 #21

My attitude is to give em a break. No skin off my ass if they email me emulatorloo Jun 2017 #22

Exactly. You can also mark it as spam if you don't want to see it, and it will be sent directly still_one Jun 2017 #23

They send emails that have headlines that mimic spam ads that give you malware killbotfactory Jun 2017 #61

Sanders is not a part of the Democrat party and may run as an indie Gothmog Jun 2017 #24

lol, this is so typical of his hypocritical drama. R B Garr Jun 2017 #25

Not So. ciaobaby Jun 2017 #31

Because he's not a Democrat and is not interested in helping the Democratic party. WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2017 #27

Yet the Dems can't win without him and his supporters and they know it. ciaobaby Jun 2017 #32

Lol. WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2017 #33

One thing I am sure of, a lot of his supporters are Democrats, and if he decides to still_one Jun 2017 #34

Indeed. (nt) ehrnst Jul 2017 #101

That goes two ways. The Democratic Party is Cha Jun 2017 #79

I think that may be overestimating the appeal. ehrnst Jul 2017 #100

Obama held onto his list until 2015 progressoid Jun 2017 #64

Nah, I'm guessing his reasons were probably different. WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2017 #71

Sure. He probably needed it for his run for a third term. progressoid Jun 2017 #74

My Guess... Me. Jun 2017 #29

If he had won the nomination he would have received the DNC and Hillary's donor list. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #36

Nope. Hillary didn't give Obama her list in 2008 Arazi Jun 2017 #62

That would describe Hillary. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #63

Like Obama did. progressoid Jun 2017 #65

So that justifies this? hrmjustin Jun 2017 #69

Wait, were the Democrats trying to re-take the White House after Obama won? NurseJackie Jun 2017 #78

The Clinton Campaign cared. progressoid Jun 2017 #91

LOL NurseJackie Jun 2017 #97

YOU are thinking in a very rational and unselfish way. NurseJackie Jun 2017 #75

He was in repeated trouble with the FEC pandr32 Jun 2017 #37

Can you prove what you posted with a link? Trial_By_Fire Jun 2017 #38

I doubt you need a link, because it's common knowledge. R B Garr Jun 2017 #39

That's why it is very difficult here at times... Trial_By_Fire Jun 2017 #43

Your own comment "this should be interesting....." is inflammatory. R B Garr Jun 2017 #72

Go look at the FEC reports. The $27 was a marketing ploy. When someone donates 2000.00 seaglass Jun 2017 #44

Thank you very much - I'll look at that right now. Trial_By_Fire Jun 2017 #45

Yes, there were contributions from donors with foreign addresses along with donors seaglass Jun 2017 #48

Just some preliminary thoughts: Trial_By_Fire Jun 2017 #58

So many links pandr32 Jun 2017 #54

Opinion pieces are just that... next? Trial_By_Fire Jun 2017 #67

Is 1/1/2015 the best date to use for this search? Trial_By_Fire Jun 2017 #46

The coverage dates from the link was 4/2015-12/2016. I believe he announced in 4/2015. n/t seaglass Jun 2017 #49

If you click on the donor's name it shows the total they gave. n/t seaglass Jun 2017 #50

There are many, many links out there. Here's a few. pnwmom Jun 2017 #70

OK, first the $27 was the mathematical average from all contributions... Trial_By_Fire Jun 2017 #68

And he achieved this by so many people giving MULTIPLE small donations, often on the same DAY. pnwmom Jun 2017 #73

So what...? Trial_By_Fire Jun 2017 #81

Sure you can. You can receive a thousand dollar check and call the donor back pnwmom Jun 2017 #84

Well! No surprise here! You are indeed well familiar with this subject matter. R B Garr Jun 2017 #76

The $27 contribution claim was a catchy pitch pandr32 Jun 2017 #87

Just for comparison, check this out: Trial_By_Fire Jun 2017 #89

Nice try, but Sanders' boasted about not using PACs and lambasted others for R B Garr Jun 2017 #90

Yes, it is the hypocrisy... just not Sanders' Trial_By_Fire Jun 2017 #92

Wrong. When you hold yourself out as a moral authority and accuse others R B Garr Jun 2017 #93

Well,... Trial_By_Fire Jun 2017 #94

It will be case closed when he holds himself to the same standards he R B Garr Jun 2017 #95

pretty routine not to turn over the list. give names? yes introductions? yes turn over the list? no dembotoz Jun 2017 #40

Bernie's continuing lecture series on the direction of the Dem Party is more oasis Jun 2017 #57

It means that the people on the list won't donate to candidates who are also MiltonBrown Jun 2017 #77

So, while being attacked, he's asked for his donor list? left-of-center2012 Jun 2017 #80

Links to DNC co-chairs Ellison and Perez attacking Bernie. Or any one working under Perez/Ellison emulatorloo Jun 2017 #82

I presume it is because the DNC would have no effective rhetoric for Bernie's left-liberals. RadiationTherapy Jun 2017 #83

Ellison's left-liberal and co-chairs the DNC. emulatorloo Jun 2017 #85

I don't see what that has to do with DNC rhetoric and the ideologies of people on Bernie's list. RadiationTherapy Jun 2017 #86

Ellison and Perez are both left-liberals. They generate the rhetoric of today's DNC. emulatorloo Jun 2017 #88

Well, as a communication scholar, I presume most talk to be PR and, to some extent, RadiationTherapy Jun 2017 #98

Interesting emulatorloo Jun 2017 #99

I'm on that list and I am glad that the list won't be shared with third parties. redgreenandblue Jul 2017 #104

Forget Bernie and his supporters who won't vote for the nominee if it's not their guy. Lil Missy Jul 2017 #107

It's as simple as this. retrowire Jul 2017 #108

If that is the case then his objective to run as a Democrat wasn't to make the Democratic party still_one Jul 2017 #111

Here's my problem with that reasoning. retrowire Jul 2017 #112
