(1,052 posts)siphoned off enough of their earnings and then donated it through the PACs for her. So they feel they've already given.
Oh shit. That means they've siphoned off my earnings and given it to her.
I'm a goddamned involuntary Hillary supporter. Screw me!

(15,373 posts)Our candidate's system recognizes that. Bernie's still has some major problems, according to the FEC. He will have to return ALL excessive amounts, which will be a cost in itself. It will be interesting to see how much his campaign actually nets when all the excessive amounts have been offset by the returns.
Most Hillary supporters, however, are just like most Bernie supporters presumably are. They give what they can when they can and may never reach the max.
No one sane likes the system.

(12,471 posts)Every one of her platform issues is something that Bernie said two weeks earlier.
They are naive if they think that she is going to follow through on ANY of them.
Why don't they give her money. They don't have to give her money. That is for the 1% to do.
Besides, it's expensive to have one's picture taken with the future queen. Something like a couple of grand I think.
