it won't be Canova .

but it's really a sneaky way to say that, attempt to bribe and lock in state parties, bribe super-delegates AND raise cash that can be funneled to her campaign outside of the $2700 limit. From my understanding many are regretting participating in it and limited money has been spent aside from on Hillary's campaign...

... and we will support the down ticket candidates that support Bernie.

This will scare the establishment more than anything else.

and a big portion of their donations come wealthier donators.

Many Dems such as myself decided a long time ago to cut out the middle man and donate directly to our candidates of choice.

I think she does and was baiting Bernie with her questioning about this when she interviewed him. Trying to make him look selfish.

And the Clinton supporters here piled on.
Disingenuous to say the least...and I'm being nice about it.

just doesn't fit their narrative.

i now donate directly to the candidates. however, i suspect the donor lists from act blue are available to the dnc and/or the congressional caucus interest groups.

His essay on human sexuality is being dredged up, and now they are back to saying he doesn't do fundraising? Last I heard he was a master fundraiser getting millions for senate Dems.

she was just doing her job.

And of course the republicans won't use this GOP smear against her... Or something...

My sisters case was a very big case in the 90's, not one of the defendants attorney's has given an interview like that one.

Please don't tell me it is part of being a lawyer, their job is to defend their client not give interviews years later that laugh and bragg about getting them off.

The bit about "just being a lawyer" is something that is often used to excuse her actions in that case. To me using the argument that a 12 year old girl seduced an adult man automatically disqualifies you from being anything close to a champion of women's rights. At least without serious growth and admission they were wrong.

And the interview kinda shows that none of that has happened.

Democracy for America: www.democracyforamerica.com

I know Howard Dean has sort of sold out by becoming a lobbyist for the pharmaceutical industry, but this org is still the best one I've seen. He founded DFA before changing his colors. Here's a little from one of the pages at the site:

Democracy for America (DFA) is a member-driven, people-powered political action committee founded by former presidential candidate and DNC chair Gov. Howard Dean. Our mission is to build and empower the progressive grassroots to take our democracy back from corporations and the wealthy few and aggressively combat growing income inequality.
What We Do

Over our decade-plus of activism, DFA has consistently been on the front lines of our nation’s most prominent political and ideological battles. We make progressive change happen using our time-tested election-member-issue organizing model.

Here's a good video in which Charles Chamberlain, now the head (I think he still is) of DFA, is interviewed:

There are multiple ways of fundraising for a down ticket races.

In particular the discussion of Bernie's fundraising seems to center around his November of 2015 joint fundraising agreement with the DNC. This allows them to have a fundraisers where they can raise up to $33,400 for the DNC and $5400 ($2700 primary/$2700 general) for themselves per donor. As far as I can tell the victory fund set up by the agreement has $807 dollars in it. $1000 was donated by the DNC, and $192 was spent on something.

I can see the argument that Bernie doesn't want to give money to the DNC if he thinks that hey are against him. But that doesn't mean he can't help build a support network for down ballot races. There are lots of ways that Bernie could be raising $ for down ticket races without going through the DNC. We know from FEC filings that there are people who still want to give money that have maxed out to Bernie. Their money could easily be funneled to down ballot races.
- Most easily he could have fundraisers/send out lists of candidates to support and people can give their money to them. I can't find this on his website or in any social media, but maybe he does.
- He has participated in DSCC fundraisers in the past, and could continue to do so. He could extend this to also helping the DCCC.
- Work with directly with state parties to fundraiser, by passing the DNC.
- Create a PAC that raises money for Bernie-like candidates and donate to the candidates directly.

(side note - after years of lurking, I can't believe it was a fundraising question that made me finally sign up!)
