30. Impressive support of sizable majority of the sizable minority that constitutes Dem electorate.

Bernie may well lead in the minority of Dem voters, but unfortunately still falls way behind with our most important constituencies, important not only for their being crucial to elect, but ya know, just for being important in every way, on every front, as people, not an electorate to be used. Real bellwether of where we are morally. Not Iowa or New Hampshire.

Says something that progressives support progressives with such low black communities support. Not sure what that says, but can’t possibly be good.

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

Good plan to have people make dozens of tiny donations. The Valley Below Nov 2019 #1

.Does that comment make any sense ? It is an artifact of many supporters contributing what they can. CentralMass Nov 2019 #6

Makes perfect sense. TidalWave46 Nov 2019 #9

Inasmuch as some of his contributors give tiny amounts... George II Nov 2019 #13

It makes perfect sense to me. sheshe2 Nov 2019 #27

It is vital to be seen as "grassroots." betsuni Nov 2019 #16

I'm thinking an app that would automatically make micro-donations of maybe 2.7 cents (?) The Valley Below Nov 2019 #22

Fabulous idea. betsuni Nov 2019 #32

Exactly. R B Garr Nov 2019 #24

Kicked and recommended. Uncle Joe Nov 2019 #3

And yet he's only released details of only about 60,000 of his contributors. Wonder why? George II Nov 2019 #4

I wonder if maybe that's all there are... just those. NurseJackie Nov 2019 #7

How does that compare to Biden? JudyM Nov 2019 #8

More than 70% of Sanders' contributions are unitemized, only 35% of Biden's are... George II Nov 2019 #10

Easier to track individual donations if you're receiving some fraction of someone else's. JudyM Nov 2019 #11

Just answered your question. The fact is we know who contributed 65% of Biden's receipts..... George II Nov 2019 #12

The percentage doesn't inform about the actual numbers was my point. JudyM Nov 2019 #14

Perhaps because these fundraising posts misrepresent the facts behind the numbers... George II Nov 2019 #17

I won't argue with that but that woman doesn't represent the vast majority of Sanders' donors, JudyM Nov 2019 #18

We all have to remember that the maximum allowable aggregate per person is $2800..... George II Nov 2019 #19

If various and sundry PACs weren't in the picture I'd agree. That changes the game. JudyM Nov 2019 #21

Just about every candidate has Super PACs working in their favor. George II Nov 2019 #35

It's not about one woman. It is the fact pattern that accounts R B Garr Nov 2019 #23

For me, the far more troublesome manipulation is that which is effected by donor influence. JudyM Nov 2019 #25

This is just a purity platitude, though. Nurses have a R B Garr Nov 2019 #36
