In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders: "We don't go to rich people's wine caves..." [View all]Scurrilous
(38,687 posts)"Sanders campaigned in L.A. one day after the Democratic candidates held their first debate. He told the crowd he had raised $2 million during the debate, and emphasized that his campaign is fueled by small donations.
This is not a meeting around some rich person's dining room or living room, where people are putting in $100,000 into a Super PAC, he said. This is a people's meeting.
What we are showing is we can run a people-oriented campaign, funded by people.
Afterward, Sanders did attend a more exclusive fundraiser at the Beverly Hills home of Syd and Linda Leibovitch, owners of Rodeo Realty. The minimum contribution was $250. According to a pool report, Sanders joked about appearing at a proletariat home.
The truth is there are many people in this country who have money but also believe in social justice, he said."
