Hillary vs Bernie campaign contribution size chart

Look at the difference in average contribution size between Hillary and Bernie.
Tells quite a story, don't you think?
Hillary gets most of her money from the wealthy donating $2700 (the maximum allowed)
Bernie gets most of his money from working men and women in small amounts. Less than $50 per donation.

The amount is recorded, when she puts out her report if there has been 1 million Thinkingabout Feb 2016 #16

You mean they don't count to her. Qutzupalotl Feb 2016 #8
I do not need you to rewrite my post, I am capable of writing my own and do not need the spin. Thinkingabout Feb 2016 #10
I daresay the $2700 contributors are closer to her heart. Qutzupalotl Feb 2016 #11
Do you understand PACs? Thinkingabout Feb 2016 #12
Yes, but I'll concede that Hillary understands them better. Qutzupalotl Feb 2016 #13
Thank you. Thinkingabout Feb 2016 #17

Count all the money from people who gave $200 or more, and the remainder is from people who gave less than $200.

People who have donated less than $200 that million people is not counted in the total contributors. The amiunt is recorded and reported in the total amount so she will not be reporting an average of $27 apiece, simple.

in a desperate attempt to
1) drive her "number of donations" up, and
2) drive her "average size of donation" down.

so these numbers are actually far worse than they appear., just saying.
