Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumGood god, I am disgusted
There's a thread that's talking about how BS has less than $6 million and DUers are throwing money at him, some who have literally NONE to spare. What the hell is wrong with this picture? He CANNOT win and people who can't afford it are sending him money. I'm disgusted that he does this to his supporters and they are so BLIND to how they are being exploited.
I can't even express my sadness on that thread because I'll be torn to bits for actually caring.

(3,743 posts)Forum was imploding about how much she hated Barbara Boxer and would never vote for her again. I had to laugh because
everyone in California who is even slightly engaged politically knows that Barbara is retiring from her Senate seat.There are 35 people running for her seat.The cluelessness is rampant over there. Some of them can't even spell Hillary correctly. Sending all their money to Sanders? I call it BS. Hillary 2016

(13,873 posts)I remember once seeing then same person post "sending another $27" three times in one day. At that rate they will soon qualify as a PAC.

(8,652 posts)They're propelled by sheer hatred at this point. I might have a few bernie buttons and a newly minted Burlinton College diploma to donate.

(25,479 posts)I read a couple of those threads and thought that many of them needed the money way more than Sanders does.
I know this is how politics works, but part of me (most, really) thinks he should just level with them and tell them it's over. He knows. The rest of us know.

(27,818 posts)I always wonder how many posters here who say "I just sent Bernie another donation" have actually never sent him a dime.

(25,479 posts)So, like half of them.

Walk away
(9,494 posts)take all of their $$$, get in their car, drive to the nearest highway, open the window and throw out every penny. Or they could just keep donating to Bernie Sanders!

(25,618 posts)Their poor reading skills (or whatever the problem is) leads them to take your disgust that Sanders is still taking advantage of people who can't afford to give money as making fun of BS supporters for being poor. I see this constantly. They call something a Hillary supporter says "vile and disgusting" (or anti-Semitic or racist etc.) and I go and check and it's nothing of the sort. How did these people graduate from high school? They can't read.

(740 posts)...to feel bad for some victims silently.
It reminds me of when I was a child; we were sometimes hungry, sometimes we had no electricity, sometimes we had to siphon gas from someone else's car so Dad could go to work but we always tithed at church (and Dad always had money for weed).
We probably would have been mad at someone being concerned for us like this too.
So while I am upset by what I consider televangelisty griftiness happening to people I consider victims, I also understand why they don't like us being upset about it.

(15,805 posts)Sanders ran a good con game. I suspect he will still be hustling the kids out their lunch money long after he pulls up stakes and packs up the roadshow... all those unexpected campaign expenses, doncha know!

It is sad, but there is nothing we can do to convince them that they should keep their money.

NastyRiffraff
(12,448 posts)Even I didn't think he'd stoop so low. There are people who SHOULD NOT skip lunch, for their own health. This is almost criminal (or should be). I refuse to go to that site and give it clicks, so I just have to believe it's true.
