Those were individual donor requirements. So the DNC must have been keeping track, right?

28,000 individual donors would not have been enough to qualify for the June debate.

Again, you seem to be getting a wrong number, 28,000 is just way off according to the DNC's debate requirements.

I realize you posted while I was editing, so here is that point again.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Surely someone has a way to say a MILLION donors means nothing! Right? bluewater Sep 2019 #1

Thank you bluewater. Uncle Joe Sep 2019 #2

Not nothing. But, 200,000,000 registered voters alone. Hortensis Sep 2019 #67

Thanks for the post, Uncle Joe. HerbChestnut Sep 2019 #4

That list downloaded from DNC's servers was useful afterall. nt BlueMississippi Sep 2019 #5

Just when you thought people couldn't possibly spin one of our candidates... HerbChestnut Sep 2019 #6

It's a swing and a miss... it's hard to try and spin one million unique individual donors as bad. bluewater Sep 2019 #10

Almost as hard as trying to spin losing voters to another candidate as good. ehrnst Sep 2019 #27

This is a happy occassion! bluewater Sep 2019 #41

Don't WORRY, be HAPPY! ehrnst Sep 2019 #61

+1000. (nt) ehrnst Sep 2019 #24

Thanks for the reminder. MasonDreams Sep 2019 #52

Jimmy Carter didn't download the list from DNC nt BlueMississippi Sep 2019 #60

That is impressive. Aaron Pereira Sep 2019 #7

They did last time. They had a seat at the table, sheshe2 Sep 2019 #16

Why? What good purpose would that serve? Why would this time be different from the last? NurseJackie Sep 2019 #68

Sorry. sheshe2 Sep 2019 #8

It's one million unique individual donors. bluewater Sep 2019 #9

I asked a question that I did not know the answer to. sheshe2 Sep 2019 #13

No problem. It's easy to miss the first line of an OP sometimes bluewater Sep 2019 #20

You know what? sheshe2 Sep 2019 #51

I actually do misread things all the time myself, no snark intended. bluewater Sep 2019 #53

Thanks. sheshe2 Sep 2019 #55

You did. bluewater Sep 2019 #56

thanks. sheshe2 Sep 2019 #58

An impressive milestone that demonstrates the broad grassroots movement! Joe941 Sep 2019 #66

a big +1 myohmy2 Sep 2019 #11

I thought that line was most telling as well myohmy. Uncle Joe Sep 2019 #21

As of June 30... OilemFirchen Sep 2019 #12

Now you've done it! BlueMississippi Sep 2019 #14

Thanks for making it obvious. bluewater Sep 2019 #18

Some people's sarcasm monitor is off nt BlueMississippi Sep 2019 #47

indeed. bluewater Sep 2019 #50

Bernie has added an addiitional 255k donors since June 30 ritapria Sep 2019 #15

That's at a nice clip ritapria. Uncle Joe Sep 2019 #17

This is qualifying. Hassin Bin Sober Sep 2019 #19

And more donors than Biden/Warren combined in states that went red in '16! floppyboo Sep 2019 #22

Through June 30 (2Q19) he listed only 28,000 donors. Who are all of these other? George II Sep 2019 #23

Candidates had to have at least 60,000 individual donors to qualify for the June debate. bluewater Sep 2019 #25

I've seen that before. That's a map of "estimated" donors based on a number of assumptions.... George II Sep 2019 #28

June was a long time ago, at least in primary terms. Agschmid Sep 2019 #30

60,000 unique donors needed for first debate in June, 130,000 needed for the September Debate bluewater Sep 2019 #31

I wonder why he hasn't reported all of those donors to the FEC. George II Sep 2019 #34

Apparently they all have reported to the DNC though for the debates. bluewater Sep 2019 #39

Not at all, but apparently you're accusing me of accusing the DNC of flim flamming us. George II Sep 2019 #42

Not at all. Just wondering why you kept repeating 28,000 when the DNC certified much more than that. bluewater Sep 2019 #49

Do you really think HerbChestnut Sep 2019 #33

What's that old saying? bluewater Sep 2019 #35

That's all he's reported to the FEC, Herb. He has a huge amount designated as "unitemized".... George II Sep 2019 #36

Are you saying the DNC didn't have a way to check the number of unique donors for the debates? bluewater Sep 2019 #38

I don't know what he gave to the DNC, but it's a matter of public record what he gave to the FEC. George II Sep 2019 #43

I am sure it is. As I am sure everyone had 60,000 unique donors for the June debate, minimum. bluewater Sep 2019 #44

Why do you keep questioning my trust in the DNC? Twice now that you've made a comment like that. George II Sep 2019 #45

Just asking if you believe the DNC when they certified 60,000 unique donors for the June debate. bluewater Sep 2019 #48

Meh. NurseJackie Sep 2019 #26

I'll call your Meh and raise you two WOAH's. bluewater Sep 2019 #37
