Irony is dead.

Just shows that money can't buy Bernie love or the nomination.

Note: It is 5 million donations, not 5 million donors.

And Joe still needs cash.

He appears to be getting his message across despite not having as much money as the other candidates or declaring that he is a victim of a media blackout. I'm not aware of him sending out emails asking for $2.70 either.

GF Yourself!

Fucking troll!

People know who he is, and they like and trust him.

His rivals, OTOH, can't overtake Biden's lead no matter how much they spend, or how much they boast about fundraising.

Says a lot about how much weaker they are as candidates, doesn't it?

...bucks?

Or even your support for Joe?

Where are the "desperate and weak jokes"?

(let the goal-post moving and backtracking begin...)

If Biden himself claimed the same, it would be just another in a pattern of rookie mistakes.

your guy has trailed for the past year?

LOL.

...rookie mistakes made already last year. Do you need a list? Cause here in the biggest rookie mistake any Dem POTUS candidate could ever make:

1. "Then vote for Trump."

I need strong conviction for a candidate.

Like I see everyday, from Bernie and all his supporters.

Otherwise, your sentiment lacks any objective data to support it. But we get it... editorial license allows our wishes to be stated as fact. Very clear, indeed.

Languishing in second place, third in others. As the big dog used to say “I feel your pain”

No money issues for Joe Biden... the front runner

Former Vice President Joe Biden, meanwhile, has rebounded from a weak third quarter, in which he raised only $15.7 million. The Biden Campaign in the final 48 hours of the year to post “our biggest fundraising quarter yet,” as Biden wrote in an email Sunday, by topping the $21.5 million he raised last spring.

I can relate to Joe.

...insider".

Yep, seen here on a regular basis. Sheer desperation.

1, Being a loyal Democrat, even between presidential elections.
2. Not attacking Democrats, or the Democratic Party.
3. The ability to work with other Democrats to get legislation passed.
4. Not suggesting that the incumbent Democratic president face a primary contest.
5. The candidate's voting history.
6. Not giving Russia a pass every time something in relation to that country comes under consideration in Congress.

I could continue, but I think you get the point.

BTW, "Now, let the desperate and weak jokes begin!" ???? You attack Biden and say that? Unbelievable.

Or, you just do not support Biden enough for you to say?

If you don't support him, why should I support Biden?

....began, clearly he doesn't have "funding issues".

Your questions, based on the discussion at hand, are irrelevant.

I just don't get it.

Can you give me even one reason why someone would not declare their support if the already declare their support publicly? Other than to say it is not full support?

...and you're a smart guy so figure it out for yourself.

Why be coy about supporting your favorite Dem now?

We need to be loud and proud!

Now and until Nov. That is the only way to change votes and GOTV for all our DEMS!!!!!

And considering the attacks that I've received in this forum, I may not announce who I choose to vote for even after Super Tuesday. The preferred choice shown in this forum has been a farce since the beginning with some members switching from one candidate to another on a frequent basis and posting attack OPs using those ruses.

Of the 4th quarter. With that announcement I would imagine that he will easily have 20+ mil for the last quarter

Just asking?

And who cares if I was? I'm just another Dem poster you know.

...writing? Not talking?

I really do not understand. Can you please be more specific so I don't hurt anyone in the future here with my comments/questions?

Cause we need every vote for Bernie as we can get in November!

Don't worry, I'm sure that President Biden will say a good word for him and maybe come to a rally or two in Vermont.

...reelected POTUS!!!!

and it doesn't look like that is happening.

(little laughy, bouncy emoji guy, times two for twice a better effect)

I'm not denying that money won't help in a run against Trump, but the polling suggests that Biden can beat Trump and win the Electoral College. None of the other Democratic candidates have shown that strength, including Bernie despite all the money he has raised.

A lot of people aren't going to make donations during the primary contests because they may feel it is unwise because their preferred candidate is not an absolute lock. Those people may decide to wait to see if Biden locks up the nomination before they contribute (the same applies to other candidates also). However, once the race becomes the Democratic nominee vs. Trump then the wallets and pocketbooks will open, checks will be written, and people will enter the three digit CVV code from their credit cards on campaign Websites.

It is foolish to believe that contributions made during the primary season are going to reflect contributions made for the purpose of the general election.

Oh, and here are some emojis for you. They're free so I'm happy to give them to you and have another drink on me!



That last emoji reminds me, I need to make a quick trip to the refrigerator.

Hurt.

when you can have emojis!





Speaking of which, if I was at a biergarten the two candidates this cycle that I would have been most happy to see and enjoy their company are Joe and Beto. I would have walked away or turned my back if Bernie appeared.

...words, or emojis.

I guess, I'll jut have to settle for this Indica vape as many times as your beer emoji.

Huh, yum, uh?....Feeling a bit better already.

Is there a emoji guy somewhere for this bliss?

whether for weed or catnip:

(Insert distinction lacking relevant difference below to better justify holding others to a higher standard than yourself. Again.)

the more that the evil mean corporations get to keep a portion of those donations for themselves?

...you can only afford a little at a time?

Jeeze! Are you saying because I don't have big bucks I'm supporting evil corporations over any Dem candidate?

Wow. That does hurt.

then perhaps you should save and make one large donation instead. That's what I did when I donated to Beto.

I feel sorry for those poor college students who can't afford tuition who were hood-winked that if they didn't donate immediately then Bernie's campaign would collapse. Bernie transferred millions of dollars from his Senate campaign fund to his presidential campaign fund. Why would he deceive those students if he didn't need the money immediately? Was it because he could brag about how many donations he received? The poor students could have had another pint of beer for that $2.70.

Or should I just be as Trent might sing, "Hurt"?

It wasn't much, but I had absolutely no financial leeway in the first two quarters of 2019. If Beto remained in the race, then I would have made a larger donation in the fourth quarter since my finances have improved recently.

I didn't make any donations in the fourth quarter though since I am undecided as to which candidate I'm going to support. And while I'm undecided, I have made some decisions as to which candidates I am not going to support.

The thing is that if I do donate to another candidate, then I will be considered as a "new" supporter and I can contribute to the maximum of $2,800 for that candidate. I doubt that I will ever get close to giving anyone that amount, but at least I don't have to tally (get the username reference ) my debit card transactions for every $2.70 contribution to determine whether I've stayed within the FEC limits.

Sanders' total donation numbers are inflated because his campaign specifically tells people to make multiple donations of small amounts rather than lump sums. Artificially manipulated numbers are meaningless.

It would be in your benefit,(you are not getting this one), to not attack.

Keep in mind that we are tired of trump and tweets.

Please win on your positives!

Said it myself many times... positively post for your fav candidate.. skip the negatives

I do try not to be negative.

It is hard.

New month .... yes time for another donation!

months the usual suspects have been saying his lead wouldn't last

Why would i give credence to those whose analysis has been notoriously wrong?

...much so, you can look me up on the internets.

And yes, I support Bernie 100%.

money, at this point in this Democratic primary, is a big issue. Joe was VP for 8 years. We kinda know him. Maybe for GOTV but he will be just fine.

Like Trump Bernie can’t grow his support. His has actually lost ground since his run against Hillary. Stick a fork in him.

Well done!
