And subconsciously realizes his checks haven't gained him any real friendship or personal relationships with those candidates or their handlers he donates to - so he's reduced to bragging and bullying on DU. Trying to convince himself that he is better/more important than everyone who has not donated as much as he has. It's the same mindset found in racism or sexism. "Well, I may be an impoverished, dull-witted loser by society's standards, but I'm still better than anyone who is not white." or starting one's day with the prayer, "Thank God I was not born a woman."

It's practically, mine is bigger than yours, referring to the total amount donated.
