Might this be what is happening? [View all]

I'm woefully non up-to-date re social media. I don't have a smart phone. I almost never post on Facebook, and visit every couple of months. But I have developed an image of how Bernie's supporters make their donations. Could this be reality? They have an app on their phones that lets them donate 1 or 5 dollars with a single swipe. So they do it in response to small cues, or large ones, like Bernie inviting them to at a debate. The amount is so small that they don't realize how many times they've done it til the MasterCard bill comes at the end of the month. It's analagous to swiping their phone at Starbucks.

Might this be happening?

P.S. This is why I break my donations into smaller pieces, even though it's a pain.
