I unabashedly gave $27 in recurring donation to Bernie this morning

[Tiggeroshii]

He raised a record number of donations in the first hour since he announced. I Think we have a great group of candidates in the running but Bernie is likely to do a little better than last time.

[True Dough]

1. Can't deny that Bernie's a money-making machine

Link to tweet

[Tiggeroshii]

4. At this rate he will overcome trumps fundraising in just a few days

[virgogal]

33. Too old---and I'm old.

[True Dough]

35. Virgo weaknesses

Shyness, worry, overly critical of self and others...

[virgogal]

36. Ya got me !

[Apollyonus]

2. Please educate me

how this propaganda is useful to anyone else?

Many have given donations on this board to other candidates but they don't post it.

Just saying

[Tiggeroshii]

3. because Im happy about it :)

and many have posted their contributions for the same reason, which I also support.

[Apollyonus]

5. Well ... my apologies

Sounded like a coordinated propaganda to me because I have seen several such posts from Bernie supporters but none from the supporters of any of the real Democratic candidates.

My apologies.

[aidbo]

6. Apology accepted.

[Tiggeroshii]

7. interesting

if bernie and kamala are any indication, the democrats are going to.have a behemoth warchest by the time the general kicks off. Im really stoked about that!

[The Truth Is Here]

16. Aside note..

Please update your signature to include Bernie. Thank you.

[MrsCoffee]

22. Why?

[Apollyonus]

23. I am not supporting Bernie.

He is not a proud Democrat like the people I want to see get the nomination.

[lapucelle]

29. ...

[Pepsidog]

96. Yea I'm already tired of it. I had a burger for dinner. I will post it. I'm happy.

[Apollyonus]

99. Did it cost $27? nt

[TomSlick]

8. No thanks. I'm a Democrat and have only ever voted for Democrats.

i certainly will not give money to a candidate who is not a Democrat.

[roody]

9. I am a registered Democrat because of Bernie.

[TomSlick]

11. Whatever works.

I'm curious. How did someone who is not a Democrat cause you to register as a Democrat?

[Apollyonus]

24. Cool story bro n/t

[progressoid]

49. It is a cool story.

I also know two people who very active in our local Dem party who are there because of Bernie. They met at a rally and a year later got married (they are a couple of those young whippersnapper millennial types).

Cute couple.

[roody]

120. I am a woman. I was registered Green for decades.

I'm a Democrat now due to Bernie.

[MuseRider]

72. Same here.

I was unaffiliated but registered as a Democrat to caucus for him last time. Kept the D for our state elections.

[Tiggeroshii]

10. if he becomes a democrat would you change your mInd?

he is re registering as required by the new rules.

[TomSlick]

12. If he registers as a Democrat, it would help.

However, I remain convinced that BS hurt HRC in the general election and contributed to Trump's election. I fear he will do so again.

[Tiggeroshii]

13. Im sorry you feel that way.

I hope this primary season will be substantially less divisive than last time.

[TomSlick]

19. Seems unlikely.

Bernie is terribly divisive among Democrats - just see all the posts tonight.

Bernie has won the battle - the party has adopted many of his positions. By running again, he may cost us the war by reelecting Trump.

Tonight for the first time, I am seriously concerned about the 2020 election. Bernie is likely to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

[Tiggeroshii]

20. interesting

i strongly disagree but respect your opinion

[Apollyonus]

28. He is likely to damage the other candidates

and seriously weaken the eventual nominee.

It won't be long before we here the usual memes:

Corporate Democrat
Establishment Democrat
Corrupt Democrat
Wall Street Democrat
Pay to play Democrat

directed at all the great REAL Democratic candidates.

I cringe at the thought.

[TomSlick]

32. Exactly!

Just like last time.

I am sincerely concerned about 2020 because of Bernie. The Republic cannot survive a Trump reelection. Until tonight, I have been confident the country could survive Trump. Bernie's announcement makes me unsure.

[Apollyonus]

62. I don't believe in coincidences

Just today, Trump praised Bernie .... food for thought

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

31. Wait, "the party has adopted many of Bernie's positions," but having led on those issues...

he should step aside and not run for president?! I don't think so. Hillary got her second shot at the presidency and deservedly so... it's now Bernie's turn to run again. Maybe we should let the voters decide... it's called "democracy."

[TomSlick]

48. Oh, the voters will clearly decide.

Bernie has every right to run. So does Schultz. However, the end result is predictable.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

58. Considering Bernie, the most popular of the declared candidates, set a fundraising record

on his first day, I would say, yes, the end result is predictable. Say hello to President Sanders!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!

[Apollyonus]

64. bwahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha n/t

[TomSlick]

68. We seem destined to relive 2016.

It's probably a lost cause.

Bernie supporters are true-believers. When Bernie doesn't win the nomination he will go to Vermont to sulk. The disappointed Bernie supporters will blame the party. We will be told that the Democratic nominee is a "corporatist" and there is no difference between the Democratic nominee and Trump. The Party will be divided and Trump will be reelected. It's all perfectly predictable.

[Tiger58]

74. Tiger58

You don't know that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TomSlick]

79. Neither do I know that the sun will rise tomorrow but that is what experience predicts.

[RAAD2]

85. This Bernie Supporter

Donated to and phone called for Hillary.

Sorry.

Bernie got millions involved and most stayed.

I might share pictures i took at his Seattle rally.

Tens of thousands

[Apollyonus]

100. Half of them Republicans nt

[Apollyonus]

61. lulz

It's his turn???????????????????????????????




Did he remain a Democrat after damaging Hillary?

[watoos]

69. I heard where Bernie said,

win or lose he is staying a Democrat. I don't remember where I heard or read it though.

[TomSlick]

70. When did Bernie become a Democrat?

[watoos]

75. I imagine when he ran for president.

I just looked it up and Bernie has said that win or lose he is staying a Democrat.

[TomSlick]

84. That's what the rule says.

Riddle me this:

Let's say Bernie wins the nomination and announces that he has decided to go back to being an Independent - again. What then is the remedy for the violation of the party rule?

[radical noodle]

95. I'd truly like to see a link to that statement

because it sure doesn't sound like him at all. He couldn't even remain in the Democratic Party as Senator.

[Apollyonus]

25. +1,000,000 nt

[cstanleytech]

63. Didn't he register to run for the ticket last time and then after the election promptly

change his affiliation back to independent even though many asked him to remain?

[Apollyonus]

65. Yes, Sir. You are correct. nt

[912gdm]

14. good for you.

but I value my money and will make sure it goes to someone who identifies as a Democrat, and is a proud member of the Democratic Party. <and will also show tax returns>


Democrat 2020!

[Tiggeroshii]

15. Well I know he will satisfy one of those demands (for the most part)

and hope he satisfies the tax returns as well!

[BannonsLiver]

17. ...

[Demonaut]

18. Prove it?, back up that claim

[Tiggeroshii]

21. whicu claim?

[Demonaut]

107. that you donated

[Tiggeroshii]

110. i dont know how to copy screenshots of my receipts here

sorry

[aikoaiko]

26. Alright. Alright. Alright.

I threw $27 his way, too.

I'm still open to everyone, but looking at Booker keenly.

[Tiggeroshii]

45. Actually I agree completely

Warren is my close second. I may be sending money her way too.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

59. Just curious, what is it about Booker that piques your interested?

[Tiggeroshii]

87. For me: He is a real person with a bold character and integrity.

He was the only candidate to defeat a 27 year incumbent political machine in Sharp James, and on more than a dozen occasions reached out to his constitents in the most human way (paving their driveways for an elderly resident), literally rescuing a woman from a burning building, just to name a few. He is courageous and puts his money where his mouth is. He would be the best corporate/ wall street funded candidate we have and would do some great things with that power and with those connections. But it's also for that reason I will go with the other choices in Bernie or Warren in the long run until they are no longer in the running.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

27. Yes, a new fundraising record...but according to some, Bernie has no chance and needs to step aside.

I'm guessing the record was set without the help of the Wall Street banks or dirty corporate PAC money.

[BannonsLiver]

34. Already busting out the cliches?

Pace yourself. We’re a year away from the actual votes being tallied.

[Tiggeroshii]

43. ...

[BannonsLiver]

46. ...

[BannonsLiver]

42. According to who?

Obama had a $10 million day in September 2008 and raised $66 million that month. Bernie will never touch those numbers. But Is this going to be a deal like with trump and his crowd sizes and people just make up a bunch of shit that sounds good?

[Tiggeroshii]

52. Those included large donors.

Bernie's record is in small donors. https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/02/19/bernie-sanders-raises-over-33-million-120000-small-donors-just-10-hours

[BannonsLiver]

53. Righhhhht

It’s a record. Yeah.

[Tiggeroshii]

56. Yep.

3 million in 10 hours is a record. Kamala's was too! If you disregard his, you would have to disregard hers too. These Democrats are smoking this year and I expect more to come from them in the near future.

[sandensea]

76. +1

It's good to support a party with so many great choices.

As opposed to the others guys. Lately it's always either a clown car full of 10 or 15 knuckle-draggers and swamp creatures.

Or one incumbent banana republic-style despot.

[Tiggeroshii]

80. They've got me fired up.

Any one of them will be a far cry from this atrocity right now. While my money is behind Bernie, he is far from the only well-qualified, credible candidate in the running right now.

[sandensea]

86. I agree.

I voted for him in the primaries last time, and will be happy to do so again.

Yes, he'll be 78. But Cheeto will be 73 - and the man's a medical (and mental) basket case.

The way I see it, the only candidate who could beat Bernie in the primaries is Biden - maybe. But we have to see if Big Joe actually runs again.

Either one would send Cheeto running - to Moscow.

[Apollyonus]

102. Any one in the current lineup will beat Bernie

The question is, will Bernie accept defeat, drop out and FULLY SUPPORT the eventual nominee?

[Tiggeroshii]

105. So far Bernie is already likely to be the most well funded candidate.

Money isn't everything but I do think he will go a lot further than you are giving him credit for. Time will tell. Any one in the line up would be an amazing deal!

[Kentonio]

116. Well that's quite silly isn't it.

Anyone in the current lineup? The same people who are raising less money, polling much, much lower and have lower favorables than he does? Ok then..

[Tiggeroshii]

122. than trump? yes.

they are also raising a ton of money and polling well. i think personally bernie is my chouce, but that doesnt mean the candidates are not also amazing and deserving of our support

[Apollyonus]

101. What's wrong with large donors?

[Tiggeroshii]

104. Nothing. It is just a different metric.

[we can do it]

30. Is this BS underground?

[Tiggeroshii]

41. ..

[we can do it]

57. 😸

[Beakybird]

37. I like Bernie and his message

He'd probably make a fine president. But people at the top of his campaign + the Bernie Bros were absolutely toxic towards Clinton, and Bernie didn't disavow them. I believe that this was decisive in Trump getting elected. He and Tulsi Gabbard are at the very bottom of my list.

[LuvLoogie]

38. This is the Democratic Underground

[Tiggeroshii]

40. ...

[tavernier]

39. I will only vote for a democrat.

Sorry.

[Tiggeroshii]

44. He is re registering as a Democrat in accoradance with the new DNC rules.

In case that's helpful

[GemDigger]

60. This is the second time he has registered as a democrat. And then he quit the democrats to be an I.

Now he wants to be a democrat again. And then he will be an I again. I doubt he will ever stay a democrat if he loses or even if he wins. I can see him getting elected and at his inaugural saying oh by the way, I am leaving the d party.

[Tiggeroshii]

78. I understand your concern, and while I strongly disagree.

I respect your opinion

[GemDigger]

81. What in my comment are you basing your disagreement on?

[Tiggeroshii]

93. That he is leaving the democratic party upon winning the presidency.

But we will see.

[GemDigger]

94. Love your optimism!

[Adrahil]

47. I just gave $28 to Kamala Harris.

So there! Apparently it's important to post up every donation.

[Tiggeroshii]

50. Good!

If you are proud of it, go for it! Kamala is wonderful!

[RogerM]

51. No Vote for Bernie from me for sure

Dont need another distraction. There is no way I vote for a non-Democrat this election, that includes Bernie

[Tiggeroshii]

54. Well he is likely going to re register as a Demcorat in accordance with the new DNC rules.

So I hope that helps at some point

[Apollyonus]

66. How convenient nt

[pnwmom]

89. When is he going to share his email list with the D's, like Hillary did, so they can use it

to elect more D's down-ticket?

Or is he one of those "only I can do it" dudes?

[Tiggeroshii]

121. i think they have made that a rule too. so he will likely have to

[emulatorloo]

55. Serious question, what does Bernie offer that Elizabeth Warren doesn't?

I supported Bernie in 2016 but I think Elizabeth Warren is a stronger candidate.

[Apollyonus]

67. Divisiveness

and Democrat bashing.

(Just to answer your question)

[Tiggeroshii]

77. They are both amazing.

But Bernie seems to already have the fundraising apparatus behind him in a way that Warren hasn't yet established. That could make him a far more formidable General Election candidate.

[emulatorloo]

118. Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it!

[mbusby]

71. I gave $100.00 to the Kamala Harris campaign...

...see your $27.00 and raise you $73.00.

[Tiggeroshii]

83. Money well spent

She will make an amazing candidate if she wins the nomination. And has made an amazing candidate since her record breaking fundraising announcement day.

[W T F]

73. Reading everyone's divisive comments, makes me stop wondering why Democrats lost 2016 election.

What’s wrong with you people? Are we succumbing again to Russian propaganda aimed at dividing us? Just asking.

[lancelyons]

82. Just remember that whoever the nominee is we have to stay together

We can’t have little quivels about ideaology when we have so much to lose. We should fight against an independent running as well as Green Party and be ok with libertarian candidates that steal votes from gop. This will not be a time to take any chances.

[Tiggeroshii]

91. I'm stoked by our choices.

And know that any one of them will be an amazing alternative to the chump we have right now. We need to maintain perspective on what we have to lose.

[chwaliszewski]

88. Me too!

[DoctorJoJo]

90. I Abashedly Returned His Request With a Note to Drop Me From His Pimping Service

[Tiggeroshii]

92. ...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

97. Great. Just hope no one boycotts nominee if someone

Else wins. May the best person win.

[Tiggeroshii]

106. Agreed.

[RAAD2]

98. Trump May Be In Pridon By 2020

Who knows.

He surely belongs there.

And dont call me shirley.

[MFM008]

103. With the other candidates?

I dont think he will do as well as last time.

[vercetti2021]

108. Not the $27 crap again

[Trumpocalypse]

109. Thank you

for helping to te-elect Trump.

[Tiggeroshii]

111. we have an amazing swath of candidates.

and not one of them is helping re elect trump.

[Trumpocalypse]

112. True Not one of the Democratic candidates

is or will help to re-elect Trump. It was the independent I was referring to.

[Tiggeroshii]

113. yeah i dont know who that is since all candidates running for the nomination are registered

democrats.

[Trumpocalypse]

115. And all but one are actually members of the Democratic Party.

I was referring to the independent leech who every four years runs to use the party’s infrastructure without ever contributing to it.

[stopbush]

114. Will you be contributing to any of the DEMOCRATIC candidates?

[MyNameGoesHere]

117. I'm spreading it around to democratic candidates

So I haven't had to send anymore in the last several days. When more democrats come in I'll send them some contributions also.

[disillusioned73]

119. Gave $27 as well..

not in a position to do recurring.. but I will give when possible..

I guess I'm a russian trying to subvert our democracy now..
